    White Freightliner Cabover *New Project* 2/13/13

    in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment

    I used .010'' thick evergreen sheet as a tab glued inside the cab,then taped the outside skin right up to the edge on the front cab section and did the same on the outside of the sleeper so when i glued the pieces together, I would simply use my finger and wipe the seam and not smear glue everywhere and be a mess!! Then when the glue dried, I would peel the tape off and have very little bodywork to do. Oh, and clamping the cab and sleeper together while it dries is also helpful!!! Roy

    Congratulations on your well deserved award. Yours is the sort of scratchbuild that has drawn me back to modelling after a few years feeling like I couldn't make anything worthwhile. Now I'm back into it, fearless and surrounded by offcuts of Evergreen! Thanks for the inspiration.

    Thanks for the kind compliment Kelly!!! With alot of imagination and alot of hit and miss fabrication, I was able to get this truck together!! I'm glad someone was inspired or motivated to just plain "GO FOR IT" !!!! Roy

    Ok, I've had it!

    Yeah this is a crazy,aggrevating problem...But, I have learned a little "cheat"....Type in your post content(pics included) and Right click and copy your entire post,Then hit the Little black "Post" button....And give it about 10-15 seconds to post. If you get the little green bar with flashing dots and nothing is happening after several seconds, Hit the refresh button on the address bar and refresh the page.Then hit the Reply button and the clear reply screen will come up, Right click and "Paste" and you can hit the Post button again and it will post on the thread!! This works very well for me, So, you really have nothing to lose by trying this!! And at least you won't have to retype your post....I'm just trying to help....Roy
