I could’ve let the bench seat on this ’64 Chevy Pickup in one piece… but I couldn’t resist the temptation of adding some detail to it. It looks terrific, adding a nice high detail piece to the model and it’s easier than it seems. Cut the bench seat in two pieces Add some styrene pieces where […]

Now the tailgate hinges are done. This project seems to be just about hinges, door hinges, hood hinges and now tailgate hinges. I was actually quite surprised that no hinges for the tailgate were included in the kit. I mean, just leaving to pins on the bottom corners of the tailgate and a pair of holes […]

After cutting the doors open and making the door panels, now it’s time to solve a few loose ends like the hinges pillar and the interior panel under the dashboard. There is not so much to say about this. Here you see the finished hinges pillar. I forgot to make a few pictures of the […]

On this post I’ll show you how I made the hood hinges for my 64 Chevy Pickup Fleetside in 1/25 scale (Revell kit). This ’64 chevy pickup project is going out of control. I can’t stop adding details to it. I must admit I enjoy scratch building and modifying a model much more than painting and detailing. […]

One more step in this project. As you’ve seen in my previous posts, I’ve been adding a lot of details on this kit. After opening the doors and making door panels, there is one more thing to fix: the cabin floor. The kit’s cabin floor is far from representing the original, so there were many […]

On this post I want to show you how I improved the hood details. I first saw this kind of hood structure details at scale models my bro Iggy did. I instantly got  hooked on “hood detailing”. Although this details will be difficult to see in the finished model, I wanted to do it anyway. […]

One of the best features of this photo shooting is the waterfall you see on the upper left of the title pic. I see that waterfall everyday while driving back from work. My brother Seb was totally amazed about it. Thanks to the rainy days before the photo shooting, there was more than enough water […]

I bough this model as part of a lot on ebay. I had to unpaint it before staring with it (see how to restore a in this post). The idea was to build this pick up truck as a junkyard dog – or maybe a beat up farmer pick up, likes those I saw every […]
