  1. Thanks for the info on the pin vice, Ken....And you, too, James.....If it's at Hobby Lobby, I'm all over it....I'd rather just pick my tools up for immediate use..... And, Kenny....My hat's off to you, Man....Like Jesse alluded to....I'd lose my mind on something like that....Just don't have the patience.....Just not here.....You are the Man.....
  2. This thing just looks downright cool.....I'm really liking all the plumbing on the turbos.....I haven't the foggiest idea what any of that stuff does or how it works, but it sure looks cool..... And, Jesse I love the Foghorn Leghorn reference at the bottom.....He is my, absolute, FAVORITE, Looney Toons character......LOL....And save some of them Genius pills for me....
  3. This is a very nice project you got, here....And a motivating one, as well.....I've just purchased two of these 1/16 scale KW's, because of this project....You've got some great ideas going into this one, and the simplicity of the cabinet doors is probably the best.....Piano hinges are NOT my thing, and this tip could open up quite a few doors for me.. ...If you'll pardon the pun.....
  4. Looks pretty cool....Great job....
  5. I know the older issue W900 wrecker has a sleeper in it, but I don't know about the current one.....
  6. I'm glad to help out and I'm with you, Man....I learn something new every time I jump on this thing, too.....Man, these guys are good.....
  7. Looks like you have a pretty good idea going on, there....
  8. Oddly, the Revell Aeromax kit was my first Italeri/Revell kit....Compared to AMT kits, Italeris are Awesome....They build up pretty nice, and most everything fits like it's supposed to.....The Aeromax is, actually quite accurate.....I highly recommend it, but take your time.....And use liquid cement....Works much better than tube glue for these models.....The Pete 378 has a lot of chrome, but is also a Great kit........But the Revell Peterbilt 359 and Kenworth W900 are excellent kits to start with and very inexpensive....At $20 a kit, either one would be a great practice kit.....
  9. Outstanding, so far....Can't wait to see more....
  10. Nice work.....Really like the engine detail....Awesome....I like the grill, too.....Good looking truck....
  11. No....That cheap Walmart paint....It's an Excellent primer as it's super flat...And cheap....At .98 cents a can, you can't beat it.....Also Home Depot sells a flat black that is a perfect match for Testors 1411 Flat black.....Also less than a dollar a can.....It's too cheap to ruin plastic.....
  12. Not hard at all, Man....Ain't nothin' to it.....Just use any paint.....It ain't goin' outside or anything....So, it doesn't matter what paint you use as long as it covers well....
  13. I get great results from that paint shot from the can....I think the flat black for primer is what brings it out.....I don't think you can miss with this paint....Good luck, Buddy....
  14. Nice dash conversion....That takes that truck to a new level.....The engine looks tiny inside there, but I guess that's how it was, back then.....Great work....Are those tires plastic??? I was thinking of using this model to replace the wheels on a Chevy Dually I have....
  15. It's getting there....Nice work, so far....Gonna look really good....
  16. Hey, Gregg....I used Krylon's Chrysler Hemi Orange engine paint over flat black.....Excellent coverage.....You can find it at Auto Zone or Home Depot, even.....
  17. This is one awesome model, my man.....Just a great piece of work all the way around.....That lowboy is superior.....Excellent weathering and scratch building....Just awesome....
  18. I got a couple..... Both of these are AMT 1/25 scalers.....
  19. They're there, now....Photobucket wanted some money for more bandwidth.....I didn't know I was at my limit.....Sorry guys....Got some more.....
  20. Very nice work, Man....Excellent replication....The paintwork is just spot on....
  21. Thanks, Guys for your continued interest in this project.....This was a really fun one for me and I'm glad you guys like it.....I really appreciate the feedback....Thanks, again....
  22. Looking good, Guthro.....Looking good....
  23. This is gonna be cool, Man.....I like the cab, too....Can't wait to see what you do with the tank portion.....
  24. These are too cool.....I really like the 52 Turtle Wax car....My favorite....
