Dana Mathes
Boerne, Texas
Dana cracked into a couple of AMT 1/25 scale kits to recreate his granddad's 1955 Chevy Stepside pickup. With kitbashing, he modified the fender for a spare tire mount and scratchbuilt the spare-tire rack. He used the hairspray technique to show weathering and rust, along with washes and dry-brushing. "This was the first vehicle I drove on my grandfather's farm," Dana says.
