    Great job on the pickup truck you mostly see F-150s from the 80s like that and they're still running

    That is really nice! I like the cargo in the bed and the new windscreen really adds a nice touch to the model. Thanks for sharing this. And the music is great too!

    An old tired truck hauling old tired things. Nice.
    The only thing I think I would have done different is cut a piece of wood and glued it to the back window area to make it look like it had been broken out and then replaced with plywood.

    That truck appears to be the same Ford Courier as the red one with the tan camper. Awesome work on this, Danny!

    Top job Danny, looks like a legit old farm truck! I really enjoy this style of build much more than I thought I would initially, looking forward to your next project.

    Turn out on some my friend, I have just started using the nuln oil and it is awesome. You did a great job with the rust, the barrels, the bags of concrete, and the lumber. It all fits together perfectly like a puzzle. I've never seen that liquid mask way done before, I tried the table salt and brushed It Off. One awesome Farmtruck there my friend I like it.

  • @hobbyaddict9908
    @hobbyaddict9908 Před 5 lety +3

    Something to consider. On a real vehicle, rust usually starts on the edges of body panels or from a spot such as a rock chip. Rust also streaks (down when sitting still and back when driving). Your rust seems to just happen. Perhaps if you have a chance look as photos of real vehicles and note where they are rusted. Nice job overall though.

    Nice work. I have one of these and I'm gonna do it upo custom with... *clear* glass, not the ugly red ones (You'll see) :)

  • @michaelupton2310
    @michaelupton2310 Před 5 lety +1

    I remember this truck also..it looks like it was based on either a Ford Courier or an early 1980s model Mazda B-series pickup truck 😀😀👍👍

  • @redflthcui
    @redflthcui Před 5 lety +2

    seeing a fairlead (rollers for a winch) with out a cable an hook looks odd to me. those two things would put it over the top. love it as is, but theres more that could have been done .

  • @rck12369
    @rck12369 Před 5 lety +2

    The wheels are like 20 inch rims. And their too fancy for the truck.other than that... Great job. I really like your technique on the rust. Over all it looks awesome!

  • @beltfed4624
    @beltfed4624 Před 5 lety +1

    I think that truck is supposed to be an early 90's Ford Ranger. Even with a deliberately bad paint job, a Ford truck is still beautiful. 👍😁

    • @organrick
      @organrick Před 4 lety +1

      Janson Gander No, it’s a Ford Courier from the late 1970s and early 1980s.

  • @johnsalt19
    @johnsalt19 Před 5 lety +3

    Hi danny i reckon the old wheels may of been more fitting for what the truck was off to be used for

  • @raymonde4272
    @raymonde4272 Před 5 lety +2

    Love the finish, ironically it looked in worse condition than the rust bucket you customised it as. And it also answers the question of whatever happened to the truck from The Fall Guy.

  • @pauljohansson7697

    Awesome Danny, finally putting in those panel lines as well she looks great, now if you could take some lessons from Sharon Tarshish ( A fellow CZcamsr ) on how to build working suspensions man! This is a beautiful Job nonetheless 👍🏿😺

  • @proudvirginian
    @proudvirginian Před 5 lety +2

    Another thought with your beater series. Paint a panel a different color as though it's been replaced at some point.

  • @MrGarycharters
    @MrGarycharters Před 5 lety +3

    Very cool truck, just wonder about the wheel choice? Look like they belong on a gangsta Hum V. I really enjoy your work keep it up.

  • @grahamparr4710
    @grahamparr4710 Před 5 lety +2

    I think I have mentioned this before, those wheels are too good to go with the rest of vehicle. The original wheels would have been better. Other than that I love it.

  • @garybeauregard5903
    @garybeauregard5903 Před 5 lety +1

    what size of drill bits and taps do you use on these since whatching all your stuff i wanna try to do a couple

  • @grahamparr4710
    @grahamparr4710 Před 5 lety +1

    What do you reckon this was based on? Matchbox often do this, describing the model rather than saying what it is.

    • @DannysDiecastDisasters
      @DannysDiecastDisasters  Před 5 lety

      Yeah, an old Ford or Dodge I guess.

    • @TheQuirkyGarage1999
      @TheQuirkyGarage1999 Před 5 lety

      It’s a Ford courier .

    • @grahamparr4710

      The quirky garage 1999 thanks, I might get one, I like it.

    • @RichardRenes
      @RichardRenes Před 5 lety +1

      Of course, if they say it is a Ford Courier, they have to pay Ford a lot of money for the copywright and trademarks.. that is why soo many toy cars become nameless nowadays.

    • @DannysDiecastDisasters
      @DannysDiecastDisasters  Před 5 lety +2

      Windscreen/windshield, bonnet/hood, boot/trunk. English terms rather than American.
