FORD 1941 COE camper hauler
kilrathy10 replied to CUSTOMBOY's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Oh, this is just too sweet......That color is awesome.....It really pops out.....I, absolutely, LOVE this creation.....I'm going to have to do something like this, myself.....You've done a tremendous job.....What an idea for a model....What an idea for a 1:1 setup, for that matter.....Beautiful job on this baby......2 thumbs up !!!!! -
50 Slammed 3100
kilrathy10 replied to CelticModeler's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Love that description...."Fun with headaches".....Shows the love for the hobby, Man.....I'm totally with you.....Very nice build, indeed.....And I also Love the color....That shade looks great on that truck.....Beautiful.... -
Thanks, Man.....To be honest, it doesn't give the degree of satisfaction as a fully unassembled model would, but it was quite a bit of fun....It's a little more challenging than it may seem.....Once you take it apart, (that's an adventure in itself) you have to remember how to put it back together......I had a BLAST doing it.....Widening the stance, making new axles, raising the ride height......All without breaking something....That was FUN.....I recommend that you try one when you need a little motivation for another project.....I found it very therapeutic......

Man, I didn't know this one was out, yet.....Cool.....Looks pretty good for a snapper.....Great build..... On a side note, I went to the car show this year, here in Houston, and didn't see this one.....They had the Raptor, but not this.....Oh well.... Great job....I like your color choices....

New 26" custom duallies
kilrathy10 replied to Lownslow's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Those are some nice setups.....The tires look painted on !!!! -
Thanks, Buddy......I actually saw some die cast "desert" trucks at a Love's in Dallas.....Not sure why they had them, there, but they had working suspension with decent travel and everything......I ended up buying a couple Dodge Ram trucks instead, but I can't wait to go back later this year to grab a couple of those.....I haven't seen them anywhere else around here, so I'll have to wait till the next tournament to get to them....And I want another one of those Testors F650's, myself....I'll have to check around and see what I can find......I have one....I got it from Hobby Lobby years ago, but never got around to buying any more....Oh well..... And thank you guys for your interest......

T-600 Dump Truck
kilrathy10 replied to RocketJockey87's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Great looking dumper you've made out of that T-600....Very nice....As Dan has said, there are a LOT of those around here.....Some with sleepers still on them.....They just use whatever to haul dirt, here.....I've got just one more T600 left, and I wouldn't mind having a couple more.....I've figured out how to correct most of the things that are wrong with the kit that matter, anyway, and can now build them properly.....Great job, Man.... -
'59 El Camino
kilrathy10 replied to dieseldawg142's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
You see ? I hadn't even noticed..... O. L. D. kicking in over here, too.... -
Thanks, Man....I can't wait, as I said before....I like what you're doing with yours....Those Jada wheels and tires are going to really set it off.....I JUST posted a rebuilt and repainted die cast Chevy dually with those very wheels on it.....Going for a more work horse look for my Meng, though....I need to snag some of those fifth wheel hitches....Can't wait.....

Hummer H2
kilrathy10 replied to bandit1's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
I've gotta snag one of those..... -
I recently, found a subject that I'd been looking for the "plastic" model companies to produce to no avail.....Sucks, but I've had to resort to die cast models to get something that I want.....While the Meng F350 kit is an incredible offering, it is a little pricey....I've got 3 of those, but I don't think I'll be able to get to many more of those.....Happily, there is a bit of an alternative.....I found these Jada "Just Trucks" offerings......They're only about $22, and they come with an extra set of custom wheels and tires.....I thought to myself "A truck AND a set of extra wheels for $22 ????" I'm SOLD" There's gotta be something I can do with these.....I found it at Walmart, but the flea market had loads more !!!! Anyway, here's what I did to one of them.....I took it apart, raised the ride height, and widened the stance on this one.....But I couldn't just stop there.....I just had to put my signature orange paint on it.....This is what came off the re assembly line.....It's 1/24 scale, as well....Not some stupid 1/27 off scale Krap.....I'm quite pleased with how it came out.....Semi curb side, but nothing like this in plastic....

Just ordered a set of panels, wheels, and tires......If they're anything like the other stuff I've gotten, they ought to be pretty cool.....I don't think I've EVER ordered a resin piece of anything until I found your stuff, Man.....I can't wait to get it....I've got some serious plans for my F-350 kits.....Thank you for providing such a needed product.....Can't wait to get them....

Freightliner Conventional Aerodyne
kilrathy10 replied to V8 Trucker's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Excellent work, my friend....This is a great looking truck.....Very nice execution.....I like the single color paint, as well....I find that some of those kit decals can be a bit over bearing.....Sometimes a simple shiny paint job is all you need...And excellent swap on the tires.....I've always hated those plastic ones.......Great job....
