  1. OOhh....I like that.....I've looked for this color in Duplicolor, but they Autozone always seems to be out of it.....All the variants of this burnt orange are great....Awesome idea....
  2. You've done a wonderful job on this one.....And that engine looks fantastic....Great work on the paint....It's hard for me to get this kit to look good....Kind of why I traded them all off....So, you've definitely got my admiration.....
  3. This is a striking model....Very nice look in this color scheme.....Just jumps out at you....
  4. Oh, that's awesome.....Those wheels and tires WILL make the snaps that much better....Italeri has something out like this, but has a few too many other things in it that I won't use, and the wheels aren't chromed......Sometimes, that's all you need is some dadgum wheels......This will greatly facilitate some scratchwork for me..... Gonna look for those, right now....
  5. I find it a little amusing that trucks aren't a hot item....Seeing as I live in Texas, none of that makes any sense.....We got trucks EVERYWHERE.....I know I got one....My brother and my daddy, too!!! I see where the model companies a coming from on all this, as, after all, they do have to get permission to model whatever truck they consider to, before they can even, actually do it....That costs money.....Then they have to produce a prototype....That costs money......Then they have to tool it up.....That costs money......Then they have to produce it in vast numbers....TCM.......Then they have to market it......TCM.....etc.etc.etc.....I can't say I'm as discerning as others are about accuracy, but it does need to be, at least, CLOSE to the real deal......So, I'd imagine we're all as much to blame as the model companies..... And, to be honest, If the 1:1 companies would relax a little about licensing, which they ain't gonna do, by the way, they probably would produce more models......Just saying....
  6. All you guys' suggestions as for what to put on the back of this thing are all good, but I just got a really cool idea when Meng announced the release of the F-350.....Dropping a big hint as to what I'm planning, now.....
  7. Nice work....Looks really good and well executed....Very nice...
  8. This is one beautiful looking set of wheels.....I really like the paint job....The wheels are a great fit for this car....I really like this one....
  9. Awesome work, so far.....Glad to see someone actually building these and not looking to make a fortune on them.....Lovin' it....
  10. Excellent work, there, Pavel....Very nice weathering and detail.....Looks just like most of the rigs I see around, here.....This is very well done and something to be proud of, as all of your models are.....Great job, Man....
  11. Very nice work....I thought I had commented on this, but I guess not.....This is a marvelous rendition....Very clean and tidy.....The mirrors are my favorite part.....Very nice work to get that done.....And the doors look great, and the winch on the trailer, along with the ramps make it work....The truck on the back ain't too shabby, either....
  12. I gotcha....I see what you got going, here....Nice idea....
  13. Should be a cool conversion.....I've never really liked that old Dodge, but a few guys have made this thing look pretty good.....This project has a lot of potential....Great idea....
  14. This is a great place to start, for sure.....I like the idea....Should look pretty cool.....Awesome....
  15. Now that's original thinking.....I can actually see this 1:1 in my mind....Most certainly could be a race car hauler....It's already got tool boxes everywhere, and long enough to put at least 2 cars on it......Why not???? I really like this idea....I really like it.....
  16. Hey, thanks, Guys....I've had that container for several years, Travis....It was issued and reissued years ago from Italeri....Funny thing about that 20'.....It's one of my wife's company's "China Ocean Shipping Co." chief competitors "China Shipping" that they've made the decals from.....I can't even bring that thing in the house.... ....
  17. Does seem odd, Rob....Thought for sure they would've gotten it out, by now, too....
  18. Yep...Too many middle men....Pretty sure of it....Everybody wants a cut, so.....It's a shame....When a new Corvette comes out, you KNOW there's gonna be a model of it, somewhere....Wondering when the new Sting Ray will be out.....But a truck?? Probably not....I was shocked at the turn of the century when the '99 Chevys came out along with the Ford F-150's....But, since then, nothin'....Those can still be had, too, by the way....
  19. I built this Volvo about 8 years ago and the drop deck a couple of months ago.....I had this old container (my wife works for COSCO steam ship lines) that I built about 15 years ago and threw them all together for this combo...I made the decals on my computer a long time ago....About the time they started making decal paper for ink jets.......I haven't strapped it in, as I'm still not sure this will be the load I keep, but I see these things hauled this way all the time....The low slung tool box on the trailer was, actually a mistake, but I kinda like it, so I left it thataway....Wouldn't even make it out of the yard with that on it, but....Anyway....Here it is....
  20. Oh, Man...That was quick....Excellent work, as I've said, before.....Love this one.....The orange is just awesome.....Looks great as is, to me....The "visorless" look, that is...If that's even a word......I'd love to see some pics of this thing, outside.....Looks great on the shelf, too....Love the peeps sitting on the flatbed......Again, great work, my friend.....
  21. Lol.... I really like this build.....It looks great behind that tractor....Can't wait to see it finished....
  22. Every time I look at this thing, I think, "There's no way I'd ever have the patience to add that kind of detail".....Your work is just, truly, amazing......Excellent....
  23. Looks great, Man....What!!!!!???? Tired of looking at orange!!!!!???? Shame on you.....
