Looks really nice in white.

Finished the basic paint job. The off white paint turned out pretty good. I will need to clean up a few areas. You can see the front left corner of the bumper. When I removed the masking tape, the paint pulled off. I am also going to add trim to separate the two colors. Bill

Very nice clean looking build. I can see you did a lot of paint detailing on the chassis and suspension. The Pearl White color always looks better in person than in photos, it just doesn't seem to show the same shine in photos. I agree with '70 Grande about the white color giving it a more elegant look.

Figured I might as well do a wip on this one. I’m hoping to have it done by the 4th for a local contest. Painted Tamiya Coral Blue, it will have a white interior and white tail stripe. Engine will be a wired and plumbed 440, and the steel wheels from the special edition ‘68 Charger kit.

And we continue! With all the rivetting with the Freightliners, i also complemented the rivets for this cabin. This cabine is shorter than the Freightliners, and that's why I "only" needed about 250 till 260 rivets. The edges of the door handles are made out of 0,25mm thick styreen and i have cutted and sanded this completely to the right size, and i can guarantee you, these edges are quite thin and small. After all this work I sprayed the cabin in a primer and all look good and smooth. The only small spot i found, is an edge in the corner of the left headlight. And with ther cabine on the chassis for the looks..... Looks more better with the primer instead of all that white plastic. Thats it for today guys, and see you next round! Hermann. Hermann. -
I run the quiz and if somebody would do a photoshop or real quiz that has nothing to do with the quiz. @admins: You are running the Forum so it is your decision if a Real or Model or a Photoshop or real quiz or a auto quiz should be running or not. So please make a decision and then close this thread. Thanks

Stunning!

The Chassis is decent, the floor is bad. I ended up cutting the rear (under the rear seat) out of mine and raising it to make space for the mufflers so they did not hang down. Revell has the entire thing flat from cowl to rear end, it is not. As for the body, I will not even go there, I do not feel like typing that much.

The pick-up looks like a '32 thru'34 year model. I had one in the mid '60's with a warmed over Flathead and 15" wheels from a later Ford pick up. They had the 5 on 5 bolt pattern. The wire wheels make me think it maybe a '32 but these things got changed around so much and you just ran what ever you could get your hands on.

The evening bus is departing from outside Hooper & Co., just before the lights come on...... the daylight hours are fading and weary passengers are making their way home. This is the 294 to Romford Station. David

Freightliner FLA (fsba) 1/25
Hermann Kersten replied to Hermann Kersten's topic in On the Workbench: Big Rigs
And the cabine is done! All the rivets are attached now, cut a new windshield out of 0,5mm transparent styrene, and the inner roof modified. After all this work , i sprayed the cabine in a primer and found 3 small spots, which have been filled, sanded and smoothend. No i can hand out this cabine to Koos, so that he can start the paintjob and continue with his Freightliner. In the meantime, I still have to make 2 under grilling, and 2 bumpers for both Freightliners. Thats it for today and the progress of this cabine, will be continued in Koos his topic. See you later!

Hi Jürgen, Absolutely fabulous, exactly as we are used to from you. Hermann. -
Why so??? I thought the chassis was pretty well done.......better than the bodies roof.

These are great and perfectly built. They are two of my favourite Tamiya kits as well

A real eye cather with these colors , great job. Hermann.

"Bring Out Your Dead" Completion Build--ROUND 2 Is On!
Superbird McMonte replied to Snake45's topic in On The Workbench
Casting the hood is easy and doesn’t cost me anything. I usually use leftover rubber because I mix up too much for something else.😆 -
Nice build, looks great with the 2 cars on it. Hermann.
-

Good build and great photography setting Guess it got a little windy in that first pic??

Replica of Father-In-Law's 1940 IHC Log truck, DONE!
Hermann Kersten replied to redneckrigger's topic in Under Glass: Big Rigs
Great build arose from a great idea! Hermann. -
I believe Modelhaus made the conversion at one point, before the revised kit came out. I think that's where I got mine.

You never know what condition it was in when they started.

Wow. Well done.
