  1. I’m probably one of the few who has resisted joining the Facebook party, especially at my age. Even my parents are on it. But even without my own page, I’ve been able to view the occasional hobby-related Facebook stuff. I looked him up on google, but no luck. Maybe it’s a privacy setting? I’d love to see what he offers. Anyone else have any luck?
  2. Very nice, great aftermarket additions. Subtle, realistic weathering and details. Great work!
  3. Beautiful truck. Moluminum will get you close, but you’ll have to modify the cab roof, scratch/modify the sleeper, etc. Lots of great items available from Jaime. http://moluminum-com.3dcartstores.com/KW-W900L-Conversion-Kit_p_135.html Hope this helps get you started.
  4. Anyone have success sanding, prepping, and painting the surface of a 1/25 3d printed cab or body?
  5. This is a really great thread, lots of very detailed and useful information. No one has mentioned it so far in this thread, but if I remember correctly, the AMT kit’s headlights are too high up on the cab. I haven’t located the thread, but I think some people have corrected that error on their models.
  6. Nice work! Up until now, I never thought Cruiseliners were especially attractive, just ok. Nice, but not that special. You’ve really made one look awesome. What a classy truck.
  7. Where do I start? Are the rear fenders, front bumper, visor, and rear light bars scratchbuilt or aftermarket? I imagine you started with the AITM hood, but cut out and scratchbuilt the headlight buckets? The headlight decals are a major downside to that conversion, but you overcame it. Lastly, the graphics are very well done, what is paint vs. decals? Metalwork Alclad? What a nice model! She’s a beauty!
  8. Another amazing build! Too many “how’d he do that?!?” questions to list!
  9. First time I’ve seen someone put an engine in it. Wonderful!
  10. Yeah, CTM is your best bet for modern marker lights, amber and red oval and rectangular light types. The light bar, I’m not sure where to find it. Are you going to use square headlights too? I was thinking about using Czech’s US oblong headlights to do that myself to a k100. Minor body work around the bezels. What a cool project!
  11. Excellent! I missed this one this summer. I hope this kit gets re-issued.
  12. Class A Resin used to carry the drop front axles, I think. I'd send Jamie at Moluminum an email, if you're still looking for those. He has lots of other great things too. http://moluminum-com.3dcartstores.com/
  13. What a fine model! Absolutely fantastic! Some of the most realistic weathering I've ever seen on a truck.
  14. The perfect clown car for formal clown occasions, like clown weddings and clown funerals.
  15. A&N is now making a great looking ISX15. an-modeltrucks.com
  16. Your trailer is awesome, nice details, great additions.
  17. Beautiful truck! Nice tires.
  18. Mack just announced a new truck
  19. Sure thing, they also have other Pete 379 items of interest. https://www.shapeways.com/search?q=1%2F24+Peterbilt&type=
  20. Welcome back. I ordered your Prostar Daycab a little while ago and it is excellent!
  21. It was probably a fairly late model extended hood (127" BBC) 379. It had several custom parts common to 379 owner operators and show trucks. On Shapeways you'll find several 1/24 scale parts like the hood, grille, and bumper specific to the movie truck. With those 3D printed parts along with the Italeri 378 kit and some other aftermarket parts you'll be able to put together a nice replica. To find the parts on shapeways search for 1/24 Peterbilt. Don't use Optimus Prime, the search engine is terrible and too many things come up.
  22. P&P resin had one a while back. Not sure if it is currently available, but it's worth contacting them.
  23. That's good news, I hope to see it happen.
