Custom Hearse

Thanks Matt! I drove one back in 1999. Hope you find time someday to fix those 2 that you have, I'd like to see them.

That is a great build! I have the kit waiting to be built as well. I just hope it turns out as nice as yours! More Titanic trivia... There actually was a passenger by the name of Jack Dawson on board the Titanic who died... The Titanic was the first ship ever to use the emergency call sign SOS... Charles Joughin was the only person to survive the ice cold waters of the Atlantic. He was reportedly drunk-as-a-skunk as the Titanic sank, and the amount of whiskey in his body seemed to serve as a type of anti-freeze, protecting him from the frigid temperatures of the ocean water. The character in the movie Titanic, who is seen peering at Rose while gripping the railing of the vertical stern with one hand and his flask with the other as the ship goes down, is based on Joghin’s real life persona... The Titanic was the first ship to ever have a heated swimming pool... The Titanic almost did not make it out of the harbor at the start of it's voyage. The suction from it's propellers was so great, that it sucked the R.M.S. New York away from it's pier, snapping the ropes holding it to the pier. The two ships were mere feet from collision when Captain E.J. Smith ordered the engines stopped. The R.M.S. New York was then towed back to the pier. If they had collided, the White Star Line would have had to delay the maiden voyage, and the Titanic would not have hit the iceberg and sunk... Morgan Robertson the author of Futility (as mentioned on another post), also wrote a book about Japanese flying machines attacking an island in the Pacific on a December day in the early 1940's...

Dr. Ted Fujita (the man who came up with the Fujita scale), once followed a tornadoes path up the side of a mountain. Scary what these things will do, which is why I chase them.

Okely dokely...

Actually, I don't think it was the number of tornadoes record that was broken (148 in 24 hours, April 3-4 1974), it was the longest tornado on the ground record that may have been broken. The longest running storm was 218 miles non-stop in 1925, but this tornado may have beaten that. My prayers and hopes go out to the survivors, and my condolences go out to the families of the victims.

That's pretty cool! I like!!!

YIKES!!! Thanks Matt! That'll help me out quite a bit!

Thanks for the info Matt. I would probably just use the tandems, and scratchbuild the rest. I wonder how long a 53' foot trailer in scale would be...

Thanks for the info. As for the blue molded KW... Yes it is... (GULP!)

I finally got a 1/16th scale Kenworth, and I was wondering if anyone made a trailer for it. Any help would be appreciated.

I'll say model...

Looking good. This is turning out to be an awesome build that has me wanting more! Looking forward to the next installment!

You mean have our brains removed and replaced with cranks and gears?!?

AWESOME! I just started getting an airbrush setup together myself, so I need to get some of those masks... They look like they worked great! I like the car as well, nice job!

I put the kit back in the box and accidentally dropped the box into a black hole... The ghost that haunts my house keeps making parts disappear....

Is he selling them?

Cool! My better half and I have plans to make a hobby/craft room ourselves. Yours is great! Happy hobbying!!!

My favorite Vette kit! You did a great job on it. On the wheels, did you use the Dupli-Color chrome paint on them? They look nice! I need to finish mine, but the paint needs to be removed first. Good workmanship!

Thanks guy's! That helps me a lot! Now I can paint the engine the correct color.

I'm trying to figure out which engine is in the Italeri Freightliner FLD 120. There is no name on the box or instructions. Can anybody tell me please.

Looks good Kevin. I like the colors you're using. Looking forward to... OKAY! I'll stop asking! LOL!
