Beautiful start....Good Gravy, that looks good!!

This is gonna look great....Great job on the lift mech....Can't wait to see this one done....

You know what, Tom? I just Had to have another orange rig...."Unfortunately", I have 2 trailers that need an orange tractor....So, I just Had to....I've got some Werner blue and some Navy blue and some Racing blue....Man, I got a lot of blue.... Pretty sure this is going to be the last can of orange paint I buy.....I have plans to build one of those Volvos I was talking about in orange, and I believe that's gonna be it..... And they charged you for the part, Jon?? Really....Not too sure I'm in agreement with that, but OK....At least you got another one....To me $3 is $3....But it isn't that much....If they're charging for something like that, I wonder if they'd sell me some extra wheels and tires....

Well, that's awesome about the Volvo, Pavel.....I know I'll be grabbing a couple more....And, unfortunately, I can't afford those PE parts.....I've never worked with them, though....Who knows, maybe sometime in the future..... Sean, thanks for the idea, but I think making just the front portion removable will be enough....I didn't want to cut that much off, because it would take just too much time....I toyed with the idea and this was, definitely, the simplest way.....I even thought about making a sun roof, as well, but I can't spend too much time on one model....Good idea, but, not this time..... Jonathan, the roof fit is near perfection....It looks like it's really gonna be nice.....You just must have gotten a bad shot....I hope it's not a common thing, though.....I have 2 more of these on the shelf....One of the reasons I don't dare build a kit unless I have a duplicate near by.....I would have lost my mind if I had to wait for a part to come in the mail..... Chris, you're reading my mind....I just went out and got some more orange and black paint....

I'm with you, Dave.....Until the Lonestar and Prostar kits came out, it was my favorite....I still have one of each of those Volvos left.....Gotta build one of each of those in orange, of course....

I'll bet that's what it's for, Barry.....Good call....The lock box to keep people from stealing the gas.....I gotcha....Now I see it....I really like this rig....That is, everything but those super singles on the back.....I just can't get used to that.....

I got a Prostar going, finally....I'm really diggin' these Moebius offerings.....The parts are crisp and clean and without much flash, at all....The instruction sheet is much better than the Lonestar's.....I hope they redo those in subsequent releases.... Anyway, I wasn't happy with a few things on the Lonestar and a few things with this kit that will have to be addressed....One....The interior is just too nice not to be seen....I was kind of upset to do all that work on the interior, only to be unable to see any of it, so I'm cutting a hole in this one some where......Next is that the dadgum frame on this model is too short!!! Don't get me wrong....This is a beautiful kit, and I'm totally greatful that Moebius put it out, but it is about an inch too short...I haven't seen a single Prostar on the road or in Truck Paper with this short a frame.....Must have been a licensing agreement of some sort or something.......Gonna have to stretch it, Man.....And Last.....Only a minor thing, though....It needs some side skirts.....Now, I've been given the "Heads Up" on the cab mounts, But I think it might be an easy fix....We'll see.... At the moment, that's all I can find, but if I run into anything else, you guys are gonna know about it.....'Cause I'm gonna be all over this kit in the next week or so.....

This is a good looking model, Man....Very nice....Can't wait to see more of it....

Looks like you have a pretty good start to this one, Man.....Craig's right....You've chosen a pretty testy kit to start building trucks with.....That's pretty much the biggest thing is that it appears that the front axle may need to be moved forward, maybe an 1/8", so that the cab will sit right....Mine still doesn't sit right after several attempts shifting stuff around, here and there....I wasn't about to remove the front axle, because this would be way too difficult to do....But it may not be too late for yours.....But, it's really not that big of a deal....Even with that the model will still look good, so it's up to you as to what you want to do....It's your model....Have fun with it, whatever you do.....

Nice work, Man....Turned out really nice.....I like the way you opened up the cab to reveal the Lonestar's excellent interior......Nice custom touches on that, too.....I just did the same thing with the Prostar I'm building....That interior is just too nice not to be seen.....Great work....

Went a long way back to retrieve this one....Awesome work, Man....

Excellent builds....Great execution on all of them....

Definitely some cool stuff, Man...Very imaginative....

Looking good, Man....Looking good....Way to get past those issues.....

Beautifully done....That interior looks amazing....And the paint is smooth, smooth, smooth.....Excellent build....

Thanks, Man....I'd love to see that one....

Interesting project....What kind of wheels and tires you looking to put on this thing....

Pretty serious looking truck....Love the interior....Very nice....

Looks good....Even with the white rims it looks pretty good....I don't think I would have thought to build this one with white rims....But it looks good....

LOL!!!!! Man, that's cold....Hilarious, but cold....

Very interesting project you got going on, here....Lots of scratching and sniffing.... :rolleyes:Looks awesome already......

I've seen some of your friends other stuff, as well, and I can't believe my eyes every time I see anything of his....That guy is AWESOME at this stuff....Don't think I'll ever catch up to him, skill wise....This current project is nothing short of amazing......Hats off to him......

Good work, Dude....Very nice work on this model....A little too rich for my blood, as they're very relatively expensive, here in the states....I'd love to try my hand at one of these, but just can't afford it....Just like the newer bus RG kit....I'd love to build that thing, but I just can't justify $120 on one kit....My wife would KILL me....Awesome job, though, Man....Awesome job....

Wow, Man...This is one serious looking project....Your skills are top notch....Excellent work, Alain....I hope when I grow up, I'm as good at this stuff as you are....Outstanding....

This looks really good.....Man, I want one of these, so bad....They're so expensive, here, though....Maybe I can trade for one.....Great job, so far, Man....You've been working on this one for quite some time, now .....I hope you get it done, soon....I'd love to see the finished product....
