Wow I like the weathering on the blue truck. Great job I use scotch brites for sanding, they come in lots of grits. Great for doing the weathering too.
The 3100 designator indicated Chevys pickup truck cargo capacity: 3100 equated to 1/2 ton; 3600 equated to 3/4 ton & 3800 equated to 1 ton....At least that's my understanding.
@@modelcarvideos5829 This is completely off-topic....I noticed that u spray w/ Rustoleum. Every time I've used that product (even on house-related projects), the paint sprays out in 'blobs'. Ever experienced that?
Oh yeah, I only use the primers on the bodies and for some reason it doesn't do it very bad. The colors seem to do it worse and that's why I only paint with the airbrush. I don't know how many paint jobs I've ruined because of that. I only used it in this truck because the paint finish wasn't important.
Love the build, I used to work on customers trucks a 1951 3100 (although it was a hotrod with a camaro 305 in it), and 57 3100 with that very same 235 straight 6, rebuilt that motor after the piston went through the piston wall due to a bad wrist pin. Try applying a coat sealer to your primer before laying the rust colour and top coats. it should prevent your getting through to the plastic, have a look at the scotch bright pads you might have them in the kitchen for dishes(it is what they are meant for after all) If you clear coat your base colour and apply your washes you can rub the excess off the surfaces, the pads also work hear trying to get through layers, bonus it turns the gloss clear flat when you are in the clear coat and removed all washes etc. This gives a buffer and a hint where you are in the layers, can matte finish after all work is done. Also generally the tops of everything end up being flat as the sun oxidizes the paint and/or bakes the clear coat off where as the side will keep a shine much longer. Same thing with Decals I apply a gloss clear coat base evenly where my decals go, once dry I use the decal sets and softeners as intended. once done I reseal with a clear coat to seal it in and then apply the weathering/washes, something an armour model taught me as decals don't sit flat on a matte surface as it is uneven, but you can bring a shiny surface back to matte once the decals are seated smooth to a clear finish.
Nice build so far. I did military in my younger days and it was so much fun making things dirty... I also like to use gray when the paint goes on to give it that chalky sun burnt never waxed look. Cant wait to see the conclusion.
It looks great Matthew......love the red primer showing through the green paint. On your other truck, I love the steelies on it......well done!!!!!!!!!
If you use a 2x clear over the primer you can sand the paint off and not go through the primer if you use fine sandpaper. This technique works for me. Nice build.
Excelente....!!!! yo justo empece hacer mi primera maqueta con una camioneta Chevrolet 3100, soy muy fanático de Chevrolet y quiero personalizarla para que me quede muy bien, obviamente no tengo el tiempo suficiente para hacerlo rápido pero bueno, cuando puedo voy haciendo por partes.
Personally l liked the red primer on its own but the truck still looks cool . Ever thought of putting a dent in the fender ? I'm sure it could be done . Other thing is the windscreen (windshield) , you need to dirty it or fog it up somehow , l mean you wouldn't have crystal clear windows on such a beater ! Looking forward to this one completed and dropping oil on your shelf !
Thank you for this video of the next model I’m going to build. It’s great to see it done so I can use the tips. Your opening credits that shows your “stock” , has got me looking closely for new models. Do you do a new one each time or just once awhile?
@@modelcarvideos5829 Haha... Not fair.. I just started a Nova build. Oh well, not the first time I have had multiple builds going. Ok, I'll dig it out and get started. Peer pressure geez....😋
To answer your question about the numbering of the Chevy pickups back then. A 3100 was a short bed half ton. The 3200 was a long bed half ton. The 3600 was a three quarter ton. The 3800 was a one ton
Nice Bob Ross reference. Watching model building videos is almost as relaxing as watching a Bob Ross video.
kool , thanx...doin' sum chassis weathering here , in 1/16 scale

I use scotch brites for sanding, they come in lots of grits.

Once in a while. I need to do another soon.
I have a '53 Ford that I'm wanting to do a Sanford and Son with.
Me too!! You first!
@@modelcarvideos5829 And, me too!!

I like the direction of that build .did get any of the emailed pics
They wouldn't load. Can you send them again?
Will do on the pics
Yeah I just checked again and they won't load.

Nice!!!
Great video. Just subscribed
Thanks Jimmy!!
Where are the Happy Little Trees?
You have to look really close!! Lol
Looking good, what is / can be used for the oil staining ?
I use tamiya panel line accent for the oil.
Yes, the painting makes it looks worn and weathered, but, like never sat on ? Needs some sags and snags. A little research goes a long way.
Sent them again .did u have any luck with the pics
Got them this time! Wow you do really nice work! Love the old dodge cabover!
Thanks. I like the blue ford truck also.my old fords are shiney
What did you use to heat/adjust the hood? Thanks
I used a heat gun but now I would use hot water. That was a while back.
@@modelcarvideos5829 thanks for the info
it's called patina not rust. rust is when its starts eating throw.
