Promoting Excellence in HO Scale Vehicle Modeling

Ford F-450 Pickup & Boat - By Jim Groeneweg


Jim Groeneweg started with a Wiking inboard/outboard pleasure boat offered with a VW Toureg in the early 2000s and repainted it in a Suzuki color for the green along with a GM color (Doeskin) for the beige. The drew out some of the yellow from the molded plastic and came up with a pretty cool color for the two-tone. The trailer has some modifications, added rollers along the length, added “steps” fore and aft, changed out the wheels and tires (from the Toureg), added tail lights, removed the extra “bumper extensions” giving it a more “North American look” and gave it a splash of silver base clear. The Ford F-450 is a stock River Point Station model with mud flaps and a trailer hitch added.
