Two of my wife's friends are crazy about "old red pickup trucks." Apparently its a decorating style trend. Anyway, every year I try to make a little craft project for each of them. This year, I decided to use my modeling skills (such as they are) to create a red pickup Christmas decoration. Thought I would share with you. They are both 1/25 scale: one it the AMT 1953 Ford F-100, and the other is AMT 1950 Chevrolet 3100. Each are built OOB with some minor decoration changes. Enjoy!

Thanks, Brian (et al). I forgot to mention that the wooden bases were (until recently) part of an African willow tree in my backyard.

Now, those are just beautiful!! Very well done, too.

Thanks Elmayarle! I presented the trucks to the ladies last night and they were blown away. They could not believe I had made them. The one husband who was at home at the time was also surprised. He had seen a WIP photo - his response: "I didn't expect it to be THIS good!"
A great personal example of "it is more blessed to give than to receive!"
Merry Christmas!
