  1. Jarda, this is probably the best detailled truck model what I ever seen. Really. I hope will enjoy it in Bratislava Exhibition. I must learn so much from you detailling of models. This is something AWESOME! Paul.
  2. Hi. I' ve also this PE parts. It is awesome. But I bought it direct from CTM. I can tell that the souls of this company are Karel (specialist for U.S. trucks) and Jan (specialist for Euro Trucks). I used PE from them on my GMC Astro 95 (conversion of chevy titan). You can see it in gallery. I'll planned also GMC but with big grille, this is also from them. I've also White freightliner parts, W900 parts, Lonestar parts, such as accesories parts. New are PE parts for Iveco Stralis (maybe the best work from guys) and of course new Prostar. Such as preparing of some new parts for W900....
  3. So here some photos direct.....
  4. Where are photos...I´ve some problems with upload photos here. Here is some link: http://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=165&t=76978
  5. Hi all.... This is my firt model in model cars section, because I specialized for big rigs... It is world famous Ecto 1A - the car of Ghostbusters. This reedition is quite good - pass together very well. Some details are after my ideas. Antenas are made from guitar string 0,36mm. Weathering I made only with Tamiya Weathering Set (oil stain) and Tamiya Panel line color. PE parts are only windshield wipes (Model Car Garage). Interior is also after my ideas. Car Windows dimming is made by original Car window Foil. Paul.
  6. Hi boys, My name is Paul, I´m 36 years old. I live in town Nitra in Slovakia (middle of Europe). I´m interesting in models from my 20. I´m very big fan of U.S., Canada and Australian truck. Love all this KW´s, Pete´s, Internationals, Macks, Old Autocars and more. Unfortunately , in all my life I seen some of this trucks maybe 3 times. Hier in Slovakia we have only European Trucks like Mercedes, Daf, Scania, Man.... I´m also big fan of import cars (Japan, I drive 4 real Honda cars). When I started with making of models, was not here AMT, only kits from Revell and Italleri. Just now are prices of this kits on same level like AMT. Here are some links on my works: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=74635 http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=71114 http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=71115
  7. Excellent work. Nice and long...great paint and decal scheme....
  8. Hi all... So Jimmy is ready. Quite good. By assembling I don´t have some problems. It is conversion from Chevy Titan 90. For this conversion I use PE parts from CTM (http://www.liaznavzdy.cz/nedtrans/ctm.php), such as mask, mirror brackets, logos, steps, windscreen wipers and more.... Hand rails are made from welder wire 5mm strong. Cabin is lowered, than the cold intake is changed for new one. It is my first all weathered truck. Antenna is made from guitar string 0,36mm strong. More in topic:http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=71815 Thanx for looking, Paul.
  9. Jarda excellent work....i like it. Pavel.
  10. Only for information. Guys from Czech Truck Model prepared PE parts for this model (prostar). For Lonestar are this PE parts excellent (including interior colour parts). I can recommend it. Excellent work.
  11. Hi boys... Here´s some short update. I have must "reworked" cold intake, because the cab is now lowered. New is also black line on cab and I try made a new isolation over the engine on the bottom of the cab.
  12. Here´s new step. Polishing and than making of sealing with sm black. So what can I say, I´m satisfied with me...
  13. Today I decide make a links around front lights. The colour is solidmat white - excellent for covering any colour (also black) in very thin coat. So without stairs I mean...
  14. Hi all. Here is new update. The cab is in colour now. The scheme is gloss white and solidmat red. It´s under my idea. After dryof colours will follow Superclear III. There are also new some parts in alclad chrome.
  15. Short update. I used PE parts from CTM: hose clamps on intake and "tear drop plate" on steps plates. As wire is used welding wire, I think 0,6mm it is (maybe 0,8mm). It is with cooper coating. after the sending (sandpaper 800-1000) it is polished like chrome.
  16. Hi... Here is some new photos from "making of exhauts". Today were some terrible day - my work with alclad is no good. Alcladed are also some PE parts such as footrests on tanks.
  17. Hi... I´m back again with some short update. Following photos of interior a selfmade CB (transmitter)
  18. Mark, excellent work, top detailled interior and exterior parts. Awesome built.... Pavel.
  19. Hello, Some new photos from my project. Followed a work with next PE parts, Concrete "raindrops protectors" on exhauts. It´s mounted together from 3 parts. It is suggest to mount on tube of 4.8mm diameter. Unfortunately i had only 5mm. But it´s in norm, Installation without some bigger problem. After than I airbrushed in blac, as a base colour for alclad chroming.
  20. Yes truckabilly, you're right. It is possible to "assemble" it without some special tools, but it is more easier with it. And I think this bender from mr.šrám is very good in this price level (about 20 eur). And I'm glad that my first contact with PE is quite positive...It's a very good skill for me. Pavel.
  21. Hi all, how I promised here are some photos from the work with PE parts from Czech truck model. This is my firts try with PE parts. I feared that this work will be hard for me. I must to talk that it was very nice and not so hard work. The great helper is bender tool for me... Exellent is that man can polish this parts. By the cutting off the parts from planchette is very good to used something hard like the underbase. For example some square of glass or I used smooth ceramic tile... So, if you have some questions.....
  22. To Tony: please look 4 topics up. Over there is photo also as small list of parts which are in PE package for this trucks. Thanx Paul.
  23. Thanx Doobie. Only for information - this is my first bigger weathering ever. Paul.
  24. Hey guys, sometimes I'll make some photos from "before of my reborn". Over there are some terible trucks...Pavel.
  25. Hi all... Here are some new photos of my ,,working" on theme GMC Astro. The tanks, batterybox, and some rust are ready. The b.box is not placed, yet. Because I don´t know what says interior and exhaust connection with engine. thanx for looking. Pavel
