Hermann Kersten Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Hi Sergey, I like your detail work and the art of modeling. The rear tires look very good. Hermann. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergey Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 Thank you Hermann! Glad you like it. So, I have came to hydraulic ram. It made out of aerial, cut to size. My aerial was stainless. So it was cut by tool, like "Dremel". Here is a jig to cut. I will use plastic tube to enlarge outer part of ram To drill new holes I used diamond boer Here is how the truck looks now Here are king pins soldered for moving parts A load I made for gate lockers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergey Posted December 1, 2019 Author Share Posted December 1, 2019 A little more progress. Side mirrors were made out of 1,5mm plastic and 0,5mm soldering wire Mirror brackets are little complicated, then Big trucks have. PickUp doors have a slope at the top point. So I improved my old soldering device. The wire was localy flatten and drilled for rivets. Here I broken one of my 0,4 drill bits. I have got Cab roof Marker Lights from Fireball Modelworks. Thank you Joseph! But as Joseph said: "they are smallewr then Silverado's one. Compare to photo 4. I plan to use rectangular black adhesive tape as a rubber for marker lights. Visually it should make them larger. Note, that wipers were cut off. Finally I made cab handles from square styrene 1х1мм & strip 1х0,3мм.

Sergey Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 Thank you Mike! So still working on small things: added a La brackets to fuel tanks Here I've made a crutch to front baterry box bracket becouse it interfere with front cab bracket Opened holes for reflectors. I had a big gap in left front wheel housing. So I drilled semi axis and glued 1.2mm brass wire instead of standart pin. And glued 2mm brass tube inside coresponding groove. I didn't like left fender panel line. Photo is bad, so I drawed it in photoshop Now I made a template ...filled the line. And lower wind sheeld gasget (scrached, when cut off wipoers) Sanded shooth Rescribed, but not ideal any way... Now everything is ready for priming. I have not used air brush for 2 years already Now the result has confused me. The pigment is going down too quik So first part of spraying is O-key, but the second one give me semi transparent layer. The primer is Motip aerozol merged out for air brush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergey Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 Some progress: Here is Chrome frame around headlight lenses Tried to copy with solder wire. Turn signals and tail lights were found in my spares. And future reflectors below Couple missing things. There is imitation of hood hinge environment below It is deep, under lower edge of hood. It will looks like this Here I tried to fix oblique tyres with strips of styrol, around the rim. Looks better, but not ideal Finally cut out flat windows Here is how I made an imitation of engine sump (in case it can be visable from one of angles). Used harden resin Noticed, that I missed one thing before painting: dump bed gaps I should fill with putty. Now it already filled and waiting for spraying again.
