Amt Pete 359 Restoration
kilrathy10 replied to bandit1's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I've got a couple of kits slated for "redo" on the shelf....Looks like you're having some fun with it....Amazing what you can do with an old glue bomb the other guy had no clue what to do with....One man's trash....Another man's treasure.... -
That's right! I forgot about that....This is a good tip, David....

Need Peeps? Hobby Lobby Find
kilrathy10 replied to kilrathy10's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
It's so funny....I don't think you can really "scale" a person....I've got a buddy that's 7' tall and about 350#....He drives a Ford F-150 and takes up quite a bit of space, if you know what I mean.....If you put a bunch of different "scale" people together, I think you'll just get a pretty realistic croud... I know special effects guys use this trick with actual people to create this kind of thing, so they don't have to build as large a set as would, normally, be required.... -
It'll be ok....I've been there....If you haven't put the interior in or any chrome pieces, you should be good....Brake fluid gets it done....Just don't leave it in there too long or the paint will go with it....Unless that was your intention....But Future is kinda weird....I've had those white clouds before, and just put some more Future on it and they went away....But, I've also tried doing that and they didn't, so you may have taken the proper course of action....

Open Road Camper from AMT
kilrathy10 replied to Jzaaijer's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
I like your idea....And the photos of actual campers are awesome....I always wondered why they didn't make more campers and trucks to pull them....The only one I saw that I had interest in was the Lindberg 1/20 scale Winnebago....Never got one....They went out of stock too quickly....Even so, it was 1/20 scale....Not sure what I was gonna display it with.....I know there's other stuff in 1/20 scale, but I don't have that much money....Anyway....Good luck on this one.....- 23 replies

Lone Star Build
kilrathy10 replied to baddgass's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
This is one awesome piece of work....It's more of a sculpture than a model....Your slide out execution is beautiful....I could never figure out how I'd attack a slide out, until I saw this one....You've opened it up and set the bar pretty high.....Nice use of the Ducati race decals with the Lonestar decals.....The paint scheme is Artful...Your application of the tile floor and the figures make this one a serious standout......Just a beautiful model all around.....It's not even finished, and you've captured my imagination.....Who cares whether you can steer it or not...I can picture cars honkin' and people cussin' in my mind, already.....It's a model, for cryin' out loud.....Looks pretty awesome to me.....Just BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! And I've got about 4 of those elevators laying around and never built a one of them....I finally think I've found some way to use them.....Thanks, Derrick.... -

AMT Pepsi delivery van
kilrathy10 replied to Rudy2013's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Actually, that was probably gonna happen, anyway....I, almost always, buy at least two.... Especially since I'm using the old 40% off coupon, anyway....I don't even have to print them out, any more....Just break out the phone....Awesome stuff, that technology is.... -
Man, this is an outstanding looking model....I, too, like the history lesson....It's almost an exact replica of the old pic you included with the model shots....Which are also, outstanding.....Great photography of a great model.....And that is one shiny chassis and engine....Puts my exterior paint jobs to shame....
