Keith Benes
Orland Park, Illinois
Fascinated by modified vintage trucks, Keith stretched the frame of a Monogram 1/24 scale Mack AC Bulldog and made the deck from wood to support a model railroad boom crane. Using Tamiya spray-can lacquers, he painted the cab dark yellow, the frame olive drab, and the boom dull red. Sponge-applied acrylic colors added rusty paint chips and dust to the working vehicle.
