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'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.

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.

I will definitely try out your weathering technique! Nice build.

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

Just gotta drop in and say "thanks for the tips". You've definitely shown me some better ways to do things.

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.

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' :)

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.

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.)

You have converted me on the enamel hand paints. I used to use acrylic only, but now I use the metallics and they really make my models pop!
