landman Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 That is gorgeous Brian. I agree with everything that was said above. What size tubing or wire are you using for all the chassis plumbing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpreadAxle Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 What did you use to simulate the greasy 5th wheel? A very nice addition to the realistic weathering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpreadAxle Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Thanks. I have heard of using oil based paints for this purpose and thought that's what you did. I was using actual 5th wheel grease, but since I no longer drive I can't use the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
