John Teresi Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 Hello......I got the primer on the body and finished up all the body work.......I put on a base coat of H.O.K. Orion Silver and then shot H.O.K. Kandy Red.......I pinstriped the cab with White and Orange 1/16 KwikStripe tape..... The 1/16 KwikStripe was still a little to wide so I cut some strips in half with # 11 Exacto Blade ....... I like the width now..........thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James2 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) And let the jousting begin...I enjoy any good builds, I don't limit myself to specific styles or types. I don't just comment on my own builds or a select few members. I like to see what everyone is doing. Sharing techniques and experiences. Your both talented builders that have inspired the hobbiest. And while the subject may be a turd, the model is amazing. Edited March 7, 2017 by James2 + Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blunc Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 WOW, one (or more) people forgot to take their meds.Having seen Chris be constantly supportive of John and his talents, I a little surprised at John's response to Chris' post.I'm hoping all parties will just chalk it up to people "having a bad day" and move on...isn't that what friends and comrades do?
