It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted anything.

I have been pretty busy for the past 8 months, but I have managed to finish this build.

1948 Metro

I got it as a resin from a model show a couple years age. I scratch build the frame and dashboard. Created the Psyches Custom Psycles theme decals. I converted a ’53 Chevy to a trailer and re fabricated parts of it. I also refabricated 2 motorcycles from the Cherry Bomb kit. Th handlebars are scratchbuilt as well as the fenders, tanks and seats.
The van and trailer are airbrushed in a mixture of reds amd a little black nail polish. The bikes are also nail polish.

I hope you like it.

Dave

Oh, THAT is good! I wish you'd done a step-by-step on the Metro truck. It is impressive. The imagination of using the Chevy rear as a trailer is genius! Thanx a bunch for sharing you skills and imagination here! More model sites need to see this one!
