The ornament is from a 1940's era Packard, not sure exactly which year yet.

I've got a swan in the right size - it'll be part of the photo etch and resin that George will be selling... we're still working on it. Lots of little stuff, to do still, but we're making good headway!
If you want to buy one yourself, eBay search "Anson Packard" and 1/24th diecast cars will show up.

What did you use? It looks great to me,
I got humbrols weathering dust wash smeared it on and dabbed it off I then got dark weathering powder mud color and smeared it up and down , it keeps the chrome shine but looks weathered you can only see fine scratches under really bright light it's under , I want to keep it chrome like the film and not aluminium paint tbh il do the grills and other bits and see how I go , I can always prime and spray it with alclad chrome off it ends up not good , but the chrome isn't great on paints and in the film the chrome shine is still there I also I rubbed with a brush into the chrome wheels which very slightly dulls them to

Jonnieboy,
You can hide some of the paint problems by weathering the truck so it looks like it did at the end of the movie. As for the trailer, I wouldn't worry about it as I doubt Jack had a trailer of his own. I'd stick with the dirty silver/aluminium look myself.

Yeah I was thinking that about the weathering so il stick with it , the trailer is fine though turned out good and it's the same trailer he had at the start of the film , just got to wait for funds now to get decals and printer etc but it's slowly getting there

Jonnieboy,
I know you want to get the Pork Chop Express finished but let's see what Moffeaton comes up with for the decals before you lash out for the printer. All in good time my friend.

Lol yeah I know what you mean but I think it's gona be a kit you buy not sure iff sold separately , but I may do the model again iff and when kit comes out and shelve it till I get perfection , I also need a printer with scanner and to do my own decals in futurE , I've just had a lone star truck delivered I may switch to that for now till mof comes up with decals , thanks for advice
