"This is a die-cast 1961 Ford pickup truck. Approx 12" long and built by a professional model maker with more than 20 years of cinema and private commission work, each piece is completely hand-painted and weathered; no air brush was used.
Each model reflects at least 20 hours' work. The chassis are completely painted and detailed, the die-cast bodies have been painted with an acid etch primer and then painted by hand with acrylics.
The trucks have scale licence plates, bumper stickers, parking tickets, even parking permit window hangers. Each cab has fully detailed interiors, complete with coffee cups, lunchboxes, maps, newspapers, and tools littered about.
The details are almost endless: windshields have cracks, beds have scale junk from classic motorcycles to vintage architectural pieces. The clutter is to scale and then painstakingly painted and weathered -- there is even moss growing on the floorboards. The oily gloss of leaking equipment glistens, as well. Period decals adorn the dusty body and there are even bird droppings on the roofs and fresh mud on the fenders. Engines are grimy and well used."
