  1. Well.....Yes and no.....This will be a day cab, but it will have some extras to named, later....I'll be adding stuff as I go along....Par for the course for me, as you may well know.....Not so much replication as representation for this presentation.....Say that 3 times quickly.....
  2. I do like that orange, Man.....It's the frame painted the same color that gets me....Man, that's a nice piece of work....I think I now know what I'm going to do with MY California Hauler.....
  3. Hey, that's a good chop, right there.....Great idea to use those fenders.....I'm really liking this one..... And that IS a nice looking Pete there, Clayton.....
  4. Everything does go together well.....However, when you get to installing the radiator to the chassis, that part can be a little tricky.....Make SURE you test fit where everything goes in relation to the hood and bumper tilt mechanism.....That seems to give everybody fits.....Stumped me, too when I built my first one, but I eventually figured out how it's supposed to work.... Here you go.....This is my build thread....This is how it is supposed to look..... Totally not trying to take over your thread, by the way..... I hope you don't think that......Just trying to help, as anyone here would tell you.....
  5. Got the cab and hood painted, last night, but Photobucket is down for repairs....I'll post something as soon as they are back up.....
  6. It's actually just BRBO....Big Rig Build Off.....I just pronounce it BiRBO.....
  7. Nice work, Man....Very nice work.....I like the way you did this one up......Great job.....
  8. Nice idea.....I've seen 1:1 Camaros done up this way using an aftermarket body kit.....Just a front end and tail light treatment, though.....Haven't seen any go as far as hood treatment.....Great job on these, though.....
  9. I remember these things....I wanted one, so bad, when I was younger....Nice work....The wheels really look good on it.....
  10. Depending on you budget and ambition......If you're looking to hone your skills a bit without breaking the bank, I'd suggest you go after something like a Snap KW or Pete to work on your paint skills....Or, if that's too easy, then snag one of the International Prostar or Lonestar kits......They don't disappoint......Both are WAY COOL.....
  11. Nice looking Pete.....I really like the first pic with the lowloader.....It really looks good set up like that.....That excavator and loader look awesome, too....Where did you get those??? Very nice work.....
  12. That, actually, looks pretty good.....You've done a great job on this.....Everybody knows how much work it takes to make this trailer look "right", and you've done very well....Everything looks good....I'm, genuinely impressed at what you've done, here.....What a build.....Very nice work......I like what you did with the headlights and such.....Looks really good.....
  13. I see nothing but excellence, here.....Awesome work....I'm loving it without the "go faster" stripes.....Very nice work.....
  14. Definitely, cool....I like that license plate.....Very nice paint job....And I like what you did with the interior and engine, too.....
  15. Oh, yeah....That is just too cool.....Too cool.....AND in my favorite color....What remains of it, anyway, thanks to the expert weathering.....Just beautiful....This is a great build....You've got some talent, my friend....
  16. I tell you what.....I absolutely LUV these Moebius kits.....They are spectacular.....About the ONLY thing I don't like about the Prostar is the length of the frame....As Clayton has pointed out.....But put a 1" stretch on it, and it looks awesome.....And the instructions are a BIG improvement over the ones that come with the Lonestar.....And that trailer kit is BONKERS !! You're going to love how it looks once completed, be Beware.....Make sure you check the trailer sides....The mounting tabs, in particular......There IS indeed a top and a bottom to them.....I know of one modeler that got this wrong.....Awesome kit, though.....Awesome kit....Can't wait to see what you do with it..... The next one I do will be done up like this bad boy......
  17. Now, that's a GREAT looking truck, my friend.....She's a beauty.....I like everything about it....Trailer looks pretty awesome, too....It looks right at home on the back of that thing......Man, this looks good....What a build....
  18. Little friction powered quad bikes.....How about that?? And I Do Not know why this picture is so big....
  19. Yeah, Man....I got the quad bikes from a little store called Five Below....They were like $2 each and they were just the right size.....Took them apart and painted them orange....
  20. Thanks, Bud.....And that's where I got 'em....Helmut hit the nail right on the head....It was an old Italeri race rig set up that had the traditional Mercedes Actros tractor and a race trailer.....The one bike came with each of them.......I got a SUPER deal on 5 truck/trailer sets....Got them all for $25 EACH !!!!
  21. Good thinkin' Krueger !!!! That's cool.... My wife has gotten into crafting, lately..... However, now she wants me to set up a a place in my garage.... Oh well..... I can deal with it.... Gotta take care of Mama....
  22. This bab boy is done.....Check "Under Glass" to see more.....
  23. Nice work, Man....I like the idea.....Great weathering....
  24. That's some really nice work, Man...Awesome.....Looks good out in the snow.....Excellent work....
