Perfect Plastic Putty Question
Swamp Dog replied to oldcarfan's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
what you need to do is throw it away and get you some Bondo Glazing & spot putty. dries fast (overnight) and easy to sand. been using this for many years. Walmart and any home center will carry it.. -

MACK SUPERLINER HEAVY HAUL
Swamp Dog replied to Swamp Dog's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
i got a friend that works up in the patch. some day you cant tell what kind of truck he drives but as soon as he gets to the shop the first thing he does is wash his truck. lol..the frame has been heavy weathered with pastels (that's all i ever use) tire tread also. it will get more as i finish but not like my oil field trucks.. i just bought a 1/24 scale file from cults for a Tigercat 630H skidder so it will probably be pulling a RGN trailer with the skidder on it.. -
MACK SUPERLINER HEAVY HAUL
Swamp Dog replied to Swamp Dog's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
UPDATE....been busy on the Heavy Haul but got to stop and build a Gasser race car for a friend. truck & fenders are Sunshine Yellow, frame Gloss Cranberry, winch tower & tail roller Gloss Colonial Red, tanks, tool box & catwalk are Metallic Aluminum..the tanks were a pain in the butt as i did not want them looking like freightliner tanks so i shortened the right hand side and re built the steps with Auslowe's tank step holes. since i added the MP8 i decided to go ahead and add exterior air cleaners. (paint drying) i had to dream on that one a few nights. was not the first time i fixed a problem in my dreams..lol..some weathering has been done with pastels. the winch line i weathered it first with Vallejo's light rust wash and while it was still wet i dusted it with a light brown pastel just to give it a worn and a little rusty affect..(picture kinda dark). found some Mini Code 3 on eBay. they were red but the guy did me some Amber ones. great guy to deal with.. added tool box and folding handle binders that Jay from 3D Concepts had sent me. added mud flap weights and i think that's about it.. still lots to do.. -
