Swamp Dog

i live in south Louisiana near the Gulf. we have oilfield trucks down here but most are in Tx. i have pictures that friends have sent me that work in the oil patch in Canada. if you on facebook or have a email i can send you what i got..i do know that once the winch tower in in place another i beam sat on top of the maim truck frame then you have cross beams. part of the bed is wood up front, rear is flat . you can add a flip hid-a-way 5th wheel if you wish..let me know how i can send pictures then i can call you and enplane some of the pictures..going to work on the Mack i may not get back on here till tomorrow.

you just like a woman got to have the last word and always blaming the other man..i dont guess you know what Nuff said meant. it means to please dont comment to me anymore..but you just had to..🤪

you have came a long way since i seen it last..gonna look great when finished Ronald..

bringing your emotions back into it have you lost your mind 😂 at my age i dont have any...i got pictures in all the magazines to until my 60 plus years experience and health stop me from running the shows. and no im not interested on how you pant. im doing just fine. say by and please never comment on anything i post or say on here..nuff said..

started this a few weeks back. i decided on a 3 rear axle set up. the MP8 & back cab panel are from ST Supply Co. tires, rims, winch tower, 5th wheel & tail roller are from Cults.

Ron its been 3 years since i worked on it. my neck got to bothering me and had to have surgery on it. i been building smaller models (ck out my service truck in lite commercial) its so hard for me to get back on a build that i had to stop on. im working on a Mack Superliner Heavy Haul now , but when finished it will go back on the table..

that had to take you a few day to come up with all that to cut Rust- Oleum paint down.. 15 coats..wow..i only spray 4..☺️

i have a can of Rust Oleum metallic and find it dont do well on small parts as you got to really lay it on to get a shine. also you gotta shake it at least 3-4 minuets. works great on large parts. i did these rims with it. here is a tip for you, look on the can and call the 1 800 # and request extra tips. i use a lot of their paint and get 30 at a time. they know they have a problem with them...get you some Rust Oleum aluminum that's what you need. these parts on my MP8 engine was sprayed with it..https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002BWOS80?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

CA glue (super glue) thick or a medium will do the trick.

that is one thing i will never do is tell someone what kind of paint to use or cut them down, laugh at them for the brand they using. but they a lot out their that love to cut Rustoleum paints down. i have won a lot of contest here in the south with my trucks all painted with yep you guessed it Rustoleum.☺️

GoGo the problem is not the paint its the spray tips and rustoleum know this. they is a 1 800 # on the can. call them and tell you need tips. the old cans you could turn upside down to blow out the tips new ones you cant. ether change them out or soak in lacquer thinner and blow out with a can of air. i get them to send me 30 at a time...

im old school. i been using Rustoleum paints for many years. i know how it sprays. i know the tips clog up, they do to. they is a 1 800 # on the can you can call they will send you extra tips . why would i want to change paint if it works for me..kinda like a good wife why swap her out..everyone talks about Tamiya paint thats why everyone buys it and all its products. the reason Rustoleum has a bad name people like to run their mouth on hear say 90 % never even tried it. you use the paint brand you like but dont try to get me to change. i like what i use just fine and get way more fore my money..

thanks Victor. Yes 3D has came a long ways in such a short time and will be the future of the Hobby.

Very Nice.

i use Rustoleum 2X all the time with no problem. dries just fine for me..
