I never would have thought of the "Toothpick" trick for fine details on the dashboard. Most of the time, I probably waste money on those extra fine detailing brushes. The problems that I've encountered with them were that they either soaked up TOO MUCH paint, ruining the job, or not enough. Sometimes, they might even scratch up the existing paint job. Thanks for the tips. Much appreciated.
You know you could use oven cleaner or brake fluid or purple power to strip off all the Chrome that you don't want anything chromed. After it's the chromed run it through warm water and dish soap and wash it to get all the grime off of it after you strip all the Chrome off. I've never heard of baking powder for carpeting on a vehicle before go to Michaels or hobby lobby and get imposing powder they all come in different colors and use Elmer's white glue just brush it on to where you want to lay down your carpet and just sprinkle the imposing powder on top of it let it dry and then shake off the rest of it. Other than that I think your pickup truck looks awesome nice paint job
Not to be picky but the C-10 & K-10 are the 1/2 ton chassis and this one with 8 bolt wheels is at least a 3/4 ton meaning it’s a K-20. Buffing out the Pledge is a great tip. The yellow really pops.
Yeah I don’t really know much about the older Chevy/gmc truck platforms I have never worked on them besides I’ve rebuilt a few SBC engines. From the 1990 and up is where I’m knowledgeable with imports and domestic. I’m only in my 20s so you don’t see many of them trucks anymore.
I actually really like it. I haven’t had any issues with it. When I first started modeling I was using a 60 gallon shop compressor and I get the same paint results with the harbor freight tankless one. Some say the tank airbrush compressor are better but I can’t tell a difference honestly.
It doesn’t really matter what compressor you use as long as you thin the paint correctly then it should go on smooth. I would but the iwata neo airbrush as well because it’s only $60 that’s only $30 more than a knockoff Chinese one or the iwata eclipse If the funds allow
Thank you for giving me future model ideas
You are very welcome
Awesome build man!
Very awesome build. I have been looking at this kit, I think it is time to build one.
Thank you! It is a great kit but the bed has some fitting issues
Great job, looks COOL the paint come out great I have this one I think I'll have a go at it next.
Thanks! It’s a great fun build. No real issues besides my bed and rear fenders was warped but that’s it.

Looks good like the baking soda tip , I used flocking before
The baking soda definitely works well in a pinch. I went and picked up some embossing powder for the cars though.
Great build, awesome video! I have this kit, i hope tp build it soon!
Very nice
Thanks 👍
Thanks man 👍🏾
My 81 chevy truck was the same color yellow
I really like that color yellow.
Nice build!!! Looks Good!!!
Thanks! Also thanks for the support!
Looks great!!!!!
Thanks!
Cool.
That Truck came with a 3 speed on the column shift.

A question, black blocks colors in duty trucks did begun in the 80´s?
muy bueno
GOOD！
Thanks for watching
This truck wasn't an automatic. Back then the shifter was on the column. I had one it used to freak everyone out when I shifted gears
I thought they also came with the TH series auto trans?
Good choice with not installing sunroof, I chose to challenge myself . I'm just wrapping up my plow build. Sunroof did not fit well..
3 speed on the column or some say 3 on the tree
They did have a sunroof option my friends truck had one and it always leaked
I think every sunroof/ t top Chevy or gmc ever put out leaked lol
I have that same truck I made a custom stick shifter for my truck
I was thinking about doing that but never got around to it lol. I plan on building another one of these kits in the future but with a flat bed
@@CustomScaleModels well the truck be lifted?
Yeah probably 2-3inches nothing crazy. I’ll probably throw some mud tires on it and paint the cab army green.
I have a question what type of air compressor/airbrush do you use
I use the central pneumatic 1/5hp air compressor and the Campbell hausfeld airbrush but I just recently upgraded to the iwata neo gravity fed
@@CustomScaleModels are you happy with that air compressor I’m looking to get one just looking around for a decent one to get started

@@CustomScaleModels thank you !

Do you know the wheel base by chance
Does the hood and tailgate function?
Yes they both open
Hi there, i was wondering if you would ship the plow stuff? I’d like to install it on one of my trucks. Will pay for shipping, thanks!!
I just moved and have all my model stuff boxed up but soon as I find them If somehow you could send me your address I’ll send them at no charge..
How would I make my AMT GMC model truck roll freely
I don’t think you can unless you use a metal axle that goes threw the kit
Would you sell the plow parts looking to put one on my tahoe model kit
If you could send your address somehow you can have it for free
The sunroof was not stock
