F100....diecast to resin

A mate sent me a diecast Ford F100 and asked if I could turn it into four bodies that he can use as a house class.
It has taken me longer than I wanted but the results are good. I used the Penelope Pitlane chassis for the wheelbase(85mm), the narrow waist of the pickup body and the low down weight. Final weight is 101 grams.
The truck is smooth and stable. Independently rolling fronts and urethanes all round add to the result.
I hand this over on Sunday with another bunch of shells and parts so he can complete the set of four.

Apologies for the carp silver painting...the pot is old and this was the last of it.

Yes, Richard.

In the future is the best way to describe it. If you want a body kit...shell, windows, interior, driver, Steering wheel then just confirm by PM and I will put you on the orders board. When it is done we can swap details and do a deal. $US37.50 all up. I pay the shipping.

Regards
John

Thanks guys. I appreciate those words.
I can see my impatient work standing out a mile but it works and it looks OK.

I hand it over to my commissioner on Sunday.
