Nice combination, and I agree with the comments about the first picture, at first glance I thought you were showing us the real 'inspiration' before getting into the model pics. Best Regards, Wayne -

Peterbilt 352
Wmija replied to Murphy's Law's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Ahhh . . . my first truck model, (it was 1974 I think) Never could get the stacks to stay mounted to the cab, drove me completely nuts . . . Can't wait to see your build progress, please post plenty of pics. Are you planning much detailing? Best regards, Wayne -
Very nice work . . . personally I think that the chrome fronts look great with the painted tanks and quarters, if they were chrome then maybe that might border on a bit much . . . not that you asked for my opinion, lol! Best Regards, Wayne

Tim . . . are the wheels Duplicolor, Killer Chrome or ?? To me, those are your most realistic yet. I love the way you use different NMF finishes to get that real life look. Very nice Pete, Regards, Wayne -
Mid 60'S Narrow Nose Peterbilt
Wmija replied to bitner's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Very very nice and well built. I like it better with a shorter frame, but that's just me . . . What paint did you use on the front wheels and grille shroud. Very real looking . . . Congrats, Wayne -
Votres camions sont tres bon mssr. Merci pour les photos. That's about all the French I know unfortunately . . . and I'm sure it was pretty bad. I spent a bit of time in LeMans and Loue a few years back, very beautiful area out your way. Thanks for posting, very interesting customs, and nicely done. Salut, Wayne

There's a rare one - looks very good. O.K., I have to ask . . . are those goldfish in the water to the left of the truck. Looks like a you have a very interesting property there as well. Anyway, congrats on both I guess ! Regards, Wayne

I still remember being close to first in line on opening night for the first Smokey and the Bandit movie at our local cinema. Can't wait to see this build progress further. Your detailing is phenomenal. I wish I could have found brass channel for my cab steps, I probably scrapped at least 2 dozen attempts with Plastruct. I don't know if it's just the photo, but your door panels painted look just like actual black vinyl to me . . . any special prep/paint there that you'd consider sharing? Please keep the pics coming, I was very inspired looking through your album. Best Regards, Wayne

Yes, very nice . . . that color really works imo. Nice work on the wipers, window frame and louvres too, that looks sharp . . .
