The bulk of the work of the pickup truck is finished and it is time for some old fashioned hand sculpting. We use Abracadabra Sculpt in our shop. It dries rock hard in about three hours and is the perfect medium for our slightly bent, cartoon style.

We worked on the cab from the top down, then worked around the front of the truck. The box (the easiest part) was saved for last. We marked the seam lines like the doors and hood with a sharpened, wooden stir stick — sometimes the simplest tools are the best.

The truck is definitely hand sculpted and looks like it has been well used through the years. The paint job will feature lots of weathering and dirt to enhance this look — giving the truck a lot of character.

With the sculpting is done the last step is final paint and assembly and the results are shown below.
