in the truck work bench section i am building a 29 ford rat hauler, but there's been a change of plans. the truck is still a rat itself, but i'm scraping the gasser look. however i am building this lil guy for it's load. i believe it's a tall T kit, but sure the kit name, the year of the ford, or the size. i chopped the roof about a 1/4 inch down to give it the lowered look, and i will be giving it a slight California rake in the rear. but not too much. it was painted orange when i got it, and the paint kept bleeding through after i had wet sanded and dry sanded dang near a dozen times, so i said forget it and left it as is, figured leave the orange to bleed through to give almost a rust look to him. the engine is the kit motor, not sure the size of the cubic inches, but i do know it's a flat head V8 with 3 deuces. the wheels I'll be using are from a 55 Chevy pro street machine kit i acquired at a flea market with the parts to Brutus. so with out further adieu here's Brutus Jr.
). You can pick up a tripod at someplace like Walmart for under 20 bucks,or if not,you can try what I do...I'll place the model in a spot where I can kinda use my arms as a tripod,setting my elbows firmly on the surface (desk or whatever). Remember to breathe softly,and like they taught us in sniper school,gently squeeze (not pull/push or mash) the trigger...uh...button. That should improve the blurryness-I'm still learning/working at it too,but this has helped me loads.
