Lee Drennen’s AMT Chevy Titan Build Truck #1

[Lee Drennen]

I sold this truck to a very good friend of mine years ago and decided to see if I could get it back. He restores farm toys so Yesterday I traded some old Farm toys for this Model. When I sold it to him I had already painted the frame and cab one color. Yesterday I painted the top of the cab Mopar Stone White and also painted the engine and installed it painted the wheels sanded the tires and added them as well.

Yikes Lee! That came on all of a sudden.........1/25 scale I assume. Looks to be a beauty, think I'll watch this one and do you have a trailer in mind? Rick H.

 

[Lee Drennen]

Rick. Thanks for the complement and stopping by. Yes it’s 1/25 Scale I used to build these years ago as a teenager. Thought I would get back into it. It will be pulling a AMT Fruehauf 40’ flat bed

 

[Lee Drennen]

Work on this interior most of the day. I hand painted the interior when I was young this would have took about a hour as I remember it’s fun getting old

Lovely cab but that bed looks a bit disappointing.

 

[JR]

Hi Lee, that's going to be some size then. Love that style of cab, old school

 

[Lee Drennen]

John thanks for the complement and stopping by

Karl. The bed will never be seen so why waste time on it I’ve built these for over 40 year and never detail the bed because I think it’s a waste of Model time if not seen

I'm saying the kit part looks dissapointing, not the lack of work on it, I never had a sleeper look like that......

 

[Lee Drennen]

Not much work done but I did get the grill a wash

 

[Steve Jones]

Thats quite a beast Lee. How many do you have in the collection??

 

[Lee Drennen]

Steve. How many of this type of truck or How many total? I have 5 of this type Chevy Titan and about 50+ in 1/25 scale I have about 7 built

 

[Si Benson]

[JR]

That grill looks good, nice moulding, looks real

 

[Lee Drennen]

John I’ll try to post some picks of my truck Kit stash I also have a lot of resin conversion cabs to been building these truck for about 40yrs now

 

[Si Benson]

Great work Lee

 

[Lee Drennen]

Si. Thanks for stopping by and the complement thought I would take a break from the Millitary stuff for a bit glad you like it

 

[Lee Drennen]

This morning I put this build back on the bench and added the plumbing and some cab components mounted it to the frame this is very close to the finish.
