Super job on the entire build, it looks great. Every time I see these fords with service beds it reminds me of the tv show Chips, Dirty Harry, and of course Close Encounters movie. Thank you for sharing and everyone stay safe and healthy. Remember to smile and have fun.
I’ve only seen a few channels your definitely my favorite channel to watch when it comes to modeling. I honestly get excited when I see a new video you do awesome builds and it’s very inspiring
This build gave me the idea about getting my own and using the Fireball Modelworks F250 Hiboy 4x4 conversion on it and build it like I’m going to build my other Moebius Ford truck. Thank You.
You're the man when it comes non model railroading. I've learned tricks from you that I can use in model railroading. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and craftsmanship with us here.
Hello, Very nice. While I was watching I started thinking of what to do with kit bashing. I thought of mixing some of these kits. Perhaps the 6 cylinder or the 302 in this kit and 4 wheel drive from another one of their kits. The possibilities are almost endless. Great job. Looks like that service body will fit on any of their 8 foot bed pickup kits. Very happy you picked this kit to do. A must have kit. You sure know your stuff.
I've also found that if you use the metallic silver first as sort of a base coat and let it dry good then you can use regular color Sharpies for some detail work as well. In some cases I think they're just easier to use than paint.
Chris, I am buying a smart TV just so I can watch your video's on TV not just on my PC in my office! Your video's are more entertaining then ANY thing else being broadcast!
I like how you have a back story when you weather and wear your models. Just like I do on my builds. I have a heavy wrecker I built that has a mismatched hood and mismatched seats and I was showing it to my coworkers one day and they asked about the mismatched seats so I had to tell them. Model railroaders are the same way.
I love the thought you put into these weathered builds. Way to tell a story with the weathering. Also love the lighter color drybrush technique. Gonna have to try that. Nice video!
Great build! I love the Moebius line of F100s. My father had a 67 long box. I ended up buying a couple kits to recreate his and had to recreate the 67 grill. Man if I only knew a few months later I could of got a kit with the proper grill. Well he got a great Father’s Day gift. He said it’s his favorite model I’ve done yet. I’m looking to make a gasser out of the extra parts from the two kits soon.
Whooo Mobius showing some Indiana love with those license plate decals! I always end up making my own, because state license plates for Indiana in kits are a dime a dozen... If anybody see it and asks, just tell em 'your county bought it surplus from Indiana like a week ago, and they're still waiting on Wisconsin plates' :)
So sad Chris is no longer with us... 😥RIP Chris! You were a inspiration to us all buddy... Nice build... Going to have to get me one of these to build... LLAP 🖖
Hey Chris great job looks cool and by the way we wouldn't poke at you about your mistakes if we didn't like ya have a good one and stay safe really enjoy all the videos you post thank you
Excellent awesome superb outstanding jaw dropping eye popping stupendous stunning beautiful job and a great tribute to your dad I love it stay safe and well
Compared with Japanese kits and American kits, both of the details are nothing changes, but American kits doesn't look difficult to assemble together. you seems to built very easy compared to the wonderful elaborate finished model. I like the orange color of car. You also have a good chosen an American truck model well. I've never tried weathering, so I want to challenge indeed while i watched this video. thank you
I always enjoy watching your video's. I always learn something. Thank you. As always. Fabulous build. Great weathering techniques. Thanks for all the tips.
I just finished building this kit and it's awesome. First time purchasing a Moebius kit and found it to be excellent quality. I am currently building the 1966 F-100 pickup by Moebius. Am painting them both in identical colors and using some after market decals to make them look like an oil field services fleet.
I'd have done a few things differently but that's the great part of modeling, as you touched on at the end. Build it for YOU! I think I'm going to put my service box on a '90s Chevy cab/chassis when it arrives.
Chris, your various how-to demonstrations have remarkable intrinsic value. Aside from the educational aspect of them, I could not figure out what I found so compelling about them. I went through several others on your channel, anf as I watched each in turn, I pondered the matter. It just came to me: they are so enjoyable they also serve as entertainment, in the sense of watching a masterful magician performing the cleverest prestidigitation! So, thank you twice! I once had a 1:25th-scale kit of a Dodge van ambulance. Burt Reynolds, Farah Fawcett, Dom De Louise, et al, rode in one in Cannonball Run (1981, 20th Century Fox, Hal Needham). Chris, I would like to see if you could centre one of your video tutorials on this kit, please. I personally would build it as a conventional ambulance with no connexion to the comedy. I perhaps would set it in a diorama of a vehicular collision. (I later would incorporate models of a tow truck, a few police cars, a couple sedans in the crash, assorted Preisser figurines, building backdrops, etc.)
Great channel I always see before I go and pick up a model kit, please keep up the great work I love working on my models and you make it easy and fun so please keep it up, GOD BLESS YOU....
Another Sweet! build my friend. A very helpful how to video for those new-b's coming to the modeling hobby. Looking Forward to your next installment. 😊😎☺
Especially love this one, as I work for the city of Winter Park, Fl (Orlando) and drive a 1996 F-250 service truck. Think I'm going to buy this and build it in white, to match my work truck. Really dig the jazz music at the beginning. You seem like such a fun guy, would be nice to toss back a couple brews some time.
Chris+ another great build this kit is a really nice kit and you did it justest keep these builds coming I've been building since the early 1970s and still learning With regard Dennis
Another excellent build Chris, as a civil servant myself, yeah, safety wise and mechanically, all vehicles must meet criteria. Love the weathering affect. I think adding a CB radio would be a cool thing too, as many areas are rural and the service mechanic would need some type of communication with his HQ office. Very nice indeed 👌
Great build! Never built a moebius but I’m buying this one... going to build it up like my Dads old weathered appliance delivery truck. His had a lift gate but pretty close otherwise.
Chris, you have such a unique and realistic style of realistic model building and weathering! You have inspired many of us. I'm a new subscriber and really impressed with what you do- and without an airbrush, too! Keep up the great work and Thank you!!
Great videos, always watch your stuff when I get a notification. You say people always like to nit pick mistakes!! I bet they just watch your review first because if they didnt they would muck up their own build 😅🤣😂. All the best, keep these vids coming, I watch them to see what kits are good for detail and moulding and to pick up some techniques from yourself. I use cans a lot but found the airbrush with tamiya paints to be good for interiors etc.
Man, I must say, I have learned so many techniques from watching your vids. I have a new found love for building models (and a nice stack of new models ready to be built). Main thing I've learned is that there isn't an instruction manual on how these should look. Be yourself and be creative as your mind will let you. An inspiration for sure! Gives us something to do during these lockdowns so we don't drive our wives/hubbies crazy, too!! LOL
Once again, another home run from Chris in the workshop! Great job! I am on hold with my dozer on count of needing some detail supplies and can't seem to get over to my favorite hobby shop while they are open. So, I have another project I am working on in the meantime. It is a original issue Revell Space Shuttle Enterprise on top of the NASA 747 transport jet. Will share pics on the hpiguys workshop Facebook page soon!
@@hpiguy I just posted my pics as of now of my current project on your Facebook page. I only uploaded once because my tablet is having fits again, so I don't know if it actually uploaded or not lol. Anyway it goes, I have been following your advice (for the most part lol) and I think this model will turn out really nice!
you sir, are the Bob Ross of weathering
Thanks a million, what a compliment!
the colors chart is very usefull.... used not abused .......great finished..........
Thanks for watching!
I appreciate your enthusiasm for modeling. This hobby needs more of you. Thank you!
Wow, thank you!

Thanks for watching!
Nice build, I love what you said, build it the way you want too..thanks again for a awesome way of showing us how to weather....
Another super weathering model. Thanks.

My pleasure!
I love watching these builds. This kit would make killer brush fire truck.
It would Matthew.
Thanks for watching!
Like the rustic weather look great work truck
Super job on the entire build, it looks great. Every time I see these fords with service beds it reminds me of the tv show Chips, Dirty Harry, and of course Close Encounters movie. Thank you for sharing and everyone stay safe and healthy. Remember to smile and have fun.
You bet! Thanks Teddy, as always!
For sure Keep em coming
I’ve only seen a few channels your definitely my favorite channel to watch when it comes to modeling. I honestly get excited when I see a new video you do awesome builds and it’s very inspiring
Wow, thank you!
Same page here bro👌
@@hpiguy Hey Chris have you built the 66 ford truck yet it's a sweet kit too!
This build gave me the idea about getting my own and using the Fireball Modelworks F250 Hiboy 4x4 conversion on it and build it like I’m going to build my other Moebius Ford truck. Thank You.
Have fun!
Thank You. Will Do. Maybe I should post videos of my completed builds or my progress builds.
You're the man when it comes non model railroading. I've learned tricks from you that I can use in model railroading. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and craftsmanship with us here.
Glad to help!

6 Cylinder from what kit?
I will definitely try out your weathering technique! Nice build.
This reminds me of my service truck I had. Thanks for bringing back some memories
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome looking build.
Thanks!
i"m just getting in to models and thanks for the painting tips great help
Nice to know I'm not the only one using Sharpies on model kits lol the six color metallic pack is awesome for some of the detailing.
Yes they are!
I've also found that if you use the metallic silver first as sort of a base coat and let it dry good then you can use regular color Sharpies for some detail work as well. In some cases I think they're just easier to use than paint.
You're the Bob Ross of modeling!
Wow, thanks!
Awesome kit and video thanks
Thanks for watching!
Nice job! I will have to try the craft paint trick!!
You should!
26:16 a silver sharpie never gos on smooth like that for me.. beautiful weathering job!!
Chris, I am buying a smart TV just so I can watch your video's on TV not just on my PC in my office! Your video's are more entertaining then ANY thing else being broadcast!
Glad you like them!
Thanks for say , build for you not for other 👍
No problem 👍
What a great tutorial and model! Thanks for sharing this as I learned a lot from it.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, sir. This video has been a driving force behind, and a guiding light in my renewed interest in the hobby.
Thanks, glad you found the FUN again!
Just gotta drop in and say "thanks for the tips". You've definitely shown me some better ways to do things.
Any time!
Really sharp looking build. 😊👍👍
Thanks 👍
Just started this kit last night.So far so good.
Enjoy!
Love the build... hadn't tried weathering yet but I picked up some paint the other day.
You should! Have fun with it!

Excellent video! Super tips. Dave
Thank you!
This is great. And it reminded me that I've always wanted to do a replica of Roy Neary's work truck from Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
I love the story behind your models there so interesting!
Excellent review. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Amazing weathering, great build Chris
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great highway truck - you do a great job of making it look like it has put in a lot of years of service.
Thanks 👍
I love the thought you put into these weathered builds. Way to tell a story with the weathering. Also love the lighter color drybrush technique. Gonna have to try that. Nice video!
Thank you so much!
Got one myself great kit
LOVE the way you funkified the chassis !!! 👌🏽
Glad you liked it!!
These kits are the best I built up a f250 with the f100 service bed.
Another great build Chris, you are the king of weathering 👍👍
Wow, thanks!
Great build! I love the Moebius line of F100s. My father had a 67 long box. I ended up buying a couple kits to recreate his and had to recreate the 67 grill.

Another fanatastic build....I learn a lot from your videos....thank you.
Sounds great!
Thanks for watching!
Awesome build! When I do these base model or fleet trucks I often paint the grille and bumpers white. I love doing these weathered build too.
I stayed with chrome on this one and rotted it out, on the previous issue I did all white trim and left it as a new truck. :)
I can tell you love weathering the models it makes each one different thanks for another great job.
Weathering is more fun then building them clean!
Glad you like them!
that looks like a typical old ford. nice job chris!
Thanks 👍
Wow-Ive never built a Mobius kit-they look fantastic!
Cant wait to try one!
You should!
Ah good ol' Wisconsin rust! Working with and trying to fix it over the years, has definitely broaden my vocabulary! Nice build Chris!
Thanks 👍
Nice kit. You did a fine job on it sir.
Thank you kindly!
Whooo Mobius showing some Indiana love with those license plate decals! I always end up making my own, because state license plates for Indiana in kits are a dime a dozen... If anybody see it and asks, just tell em 'your county bought it surplus from Indiana like a week ago, and they're still waiting on Wisconsin plates' :)
This is one of my favorite kits - all the versions. Thanks for building another one to enjoy.
Glad you like them!
So sad Chris is no longer with us... 😥RIP Chris! You were a inspiration to us all buddy...
