[Closed] (PICS) basic '65 Ford F100 Flareside pickup (From a broken Goldvarg)

That is one FANTASTIC piece of workmanship! My big question is how did you get the resin model apart? Working with resin in getting stuff apart has been shall we say a challenge with me. Please tell!

We knew you are good. Had no idea you worked so quickly, too. Great looking truck.

Wow, What a great work. You are really a professional.

That truck is 100%. Could you remove the decals?

+1. That was my first question too. And any problems applying paint over the resin?

Wow Clifford, that's just the way I would do it. If I were as good as you.

But it is a real treat to see these pics and the work you did. I also love the color chosen. I hope we could all learn from you. Great work.

Clifford,where have You find the side Ford Sticker ?

Clifford, another amazing job.... I don't know how you did it so...

quickly and still professionally. Where did the pickup bed come from? It seems to fit seamlessly, as if it belonged. Great job. Saved a truck from the junk pile.

I love these kind of projects, here's one of mine

A 1956 Ford pickup converted into an AT&T service truck with scratch built body. And waste not want not, the pickup bed became a utility trailer for this Western Models '59 Ford Ranchero.

A lot of work and I'm sure it was enjoyable Clifford. However....

....proposed Goldvarg GC-033 is an F-100 Stepside. I'm sure it won't look like yours though.

If you are talking about the 'Twin I-Beam' labels, I used a ........

sharp exacto blade to carefully slice just under the original foil stickers and temporarily put them on a polyethelene surface for safe keeping. When the body was painted, I put tiny dots of epoxy on the appropriate areas and then I transferred the labels onto the new surface....pressing them down with a Q-tip. Another q-tip with a touch of rubbing alcohol can gently remove any excess epoxy when the labels are fairly set up.

Yes, resin can be tricky but I usually just use small (sharpened) screw drivers...........

to carefully pry up on the part to be removed. I do the disassembly over a large sheet of white paper so that I can find the tiny parts when they pop apart. The resin on Sergio's models seems considerably more durable and less brittle than the stuff used on early resin models, but if you happen to break a part, cyanoacrylate glue makes a very durable fix to resin material

Well done, Clifford. Your fine work is admirable. Thanks for posting.

Clifford when you cut/removed the step side body from the donor truck what did you use? I'm thinking a cut-off wheel?

Clifford - do you know if alcohol will loosen long dried epoxy?

I have some Top Marques with yellowed headlights that I'd like to repair. Don't want to hurt the paint or chrome though.
