pete3522 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hey you need a 1/16 scale monkey to build too lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missing in Action Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 Hey you need a 1/16 scale monkey to build too lol LOL!!! Then I would have to clean up after him!! Seriously, I haven't committed to the Bj and the Bear paint scheme yet, Because I already have a very nice 1/25th scale Bj truck and trailer. And a 1/16th scale 40' trailer is a big "IF"...'cause I ain't got one!! Time will tell!! Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckyr Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I saw those at a LHS some months ago. I'm wondering if they can be noticed once the primer and paints is on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missing in Action Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 I saw those at a LHS some months ago. I'm wondering if they can be noticed once the primer and paints is on. This truck is a learning curve project...I learned that the closer you trim the decal film to the rivets, The more realistic they will look!! The rivets show thru fine in the paint, but the excess decal film, If not trimmed very close can be seen!! But on big rigs, overlaps in the skin are not smooth or perfect where rivets are used. I will post a few pics of the cab with paint on it so you can see the rivets... Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yahshu Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 All those rivets must have been a PITA, looks good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missing in Action Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 All those rivets must have been a PITA, looks good though. Actually the rivets job was only about 1 1/2 hours from start to finish. I should have trimmed the decal film a little closer though, But, I'm not gonna sweat it ...It still looks pretty good to me.

jay1968 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) roy you said if not trimmed close you can see the film well for those decals the make the stuff that you brush on to remove the film from the rivets its called decal solvent you brush it on the rivets and let it sit then it so called eats the clear film off the rivets were the only thing on the model is the rivets not the film. sorry the picture came out sideways. http:// Edited July 18, 2012 by jay1968 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
