You do realize that the Olympic and Titanic had differences. The Titanic was heavier. Also, the promanade decks between the two were different. If you want to model the Brittanic, your biggest problem is going to be the new lifeboat davits. Furthermore, if my memory is still good, the lifeboats were motorized. At least some of them were. I would really check some references. I'm just going off of memory, here. RYAN.

He meant April Fool's Day, only it isn't a joke. I actually found one but missing the instructions. I talked him down to $90 for it, so I may still get it. RYAN. -

No, I kid you not! It was real and I really wanted it! I might go pick it up this weekend. RYAN. -
How did I miss this?!?!?!? I only live about an hour away! Maybe I'll get to go to the April 7th show. RYAN.

Where was this located at?

I didn't have the money to buy it! I found a still in the bags 1/8 Pocher Alfa Romeo at my local flea market. He wanted $125 for it, but he said he would take $90. All that was missing were the instructions. He said he could hold it for as long as a month, so I might still buy it. Sorry. I just wanted to share it with you. Not every day that you find an almost mint condition Pocher kit in a local flea market. RYAN.

First Semi Truck
metalhead replied to BOSWELL891's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Revell's Peterbilt and Kenworth kits are real good starter kits. They were originally snap together kits, but with a little drilling of the holes, you can just use normal glue. I have built the Peterbilt 359 and I'm working on my second KW W900. With a little test fitting and drilling out the previously mentioned holes, they go together really well. RYAN. -

So, Dave. Are there any plans for any more trailers? Maybe dry bulk, tankers, flatbeds? Lowboys? RYAN. -
Truck Terminal Diorama
metalhead replied to chuckyr's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I've thought about building a diorama for the company I work for. The only thing is that we have over 20 loading doors. That can get very expensive as when in the mornings, every single door is used. Also, finding the different makes of trucks would be kinda difficult to find. Plus, our building is huge, so it would be almost 5-6 feet long and about 6 feet in width in 1/64. RYAN. -
2012 is not looking good so far
metalhead replied to Chad's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Did you use straight up acetone? If you did, it will melt the plastic. Try using mineral spirits or regular paint thinner. RYAN. -

How can I get oily residue off of rubber tires? I'm building a Chevelle and the only thing stopping me from finishing is this problem. Can I just use dish washing detergent and scrub it? Thank for any advice. RYAN.

BIG Cat on a lowboy!
metalhead replied to Ben's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
It's out of scale by 14mm. Also, the fur looks a little too rough.
