So far, I’ve been lucky enough not to run into a build that didn’t go as planned, except for one in particular: an FCX18 K10 flatbed that I intended to paint a specific copper color. Somewhere during the painting process, the copper paint didn’t adhere to the primer correctly. At first, I was disappointed because I had planned for it to be a showpiece. However, that botched paint job ended up creating the most awesome patina I’ve ever achieved on any scale vehicle build.  In the end, the Flatbed Mod Beater Farm Truck became one of my favorite builds. It looked completely unique, and I wasn’t afraid to run it hard because I didn’t have to worry about damaging a pristine paint job. It already looked like an old junkyard dog.  The lesson learned was that even when something doesn’t go according to plan, it can sometimes turn out even better than what you originally envisioned. And in the end, I still built a separate Copper K10 flatbed show truck anyway and ended up with 2 unique K10 flatbeds.
