Here’s another one for you guys. 1/25th scale Moibeus Ford F-150 built for a customer to look like his father’s farm truck. This build took around 30 hours.
Enjoy!
Well after 275 hours of building this B-29 is complete, minus the livery which arrives soon.
Each individual panel is painstakingly done in aluminum.
This is my fourth all metal skin build, and by far my most ambitious! If I never see [...]
