Duel truck and Plymouth Valiant

[JeffBond]

I built this truck about five years ago from a 1/25 AMT Peterbuilt 359 and a trailer kit I modified. I spent the next few years trying to find a Plymouth Valiant kit and settled for a 3D printed ‘67 Valiant that I surgically implanted a Duster grill and other things on—it’s a mess but it’ll have to do. I painted a shelf to look like a section of highway and took it all up to the hills above the 118 freeway in Simi Valley and shot them there.

Good stuff for sure Love the truck and, as you said, that Plymouth could've been better...but it's hard to find the right scale/kit with the proper wheel caps, etc...For your road, you could've apply a 180 sandpaper grid to mimic the asphalt and painted it black afterward.
The white lines on the road are too big and too long also...my two cents of course

I like that you kept the truck's "driver" obscured -- since the driver was, of course, THE DEVIL!!!!!

No, it was just Festus rubbing it in.

Note to self; no more Gunsmoke references.

Nice.

Great weathering on the truck.

Doing that Valiant is a thankless job with the available kits. You got the gist of it.

'Duel' doesn't get enough love IMO.

Overall it's a nice job. The road doesn't really need too much touch-up. The fading at the back the lines gives a sense of speed. They could be narrower, but leave the models alone, they look good.
