  1. Great job. I love mixers. I drove one for a few months when I got out of the Army. Loved that job.
  2. Wow! Some amazing work for the year. Great job to all. I was hoping to finish my build for the year but fell short
  3. Nice job Jesus. I am building this kit right now. Just can seem to decide on a paint scheme.
  4. Man that is amazing work. The detail on the engine is very good!
  5. Very nice model and a great idea with the tractors! I think I will check my local DG and see if they have any. I am looking for something to put on the lowboy I just finished.
  6. Thanks for the comments. I just finished a Lowboy trailer for my model. Hopefully I can put some pictures up this week.
  7. Thanks for the comments. I am thinking about doing some slight weathering on this model with the airbrush and some slight washes with some mud and dust. There is an old cabover truck a few miles down the road I might go and take a few pictures of for refrence. I was also going to go down to the truck stop by my house and look at the trucks but I do not want to break any laws or rules or anger the truck drivers for looking at their trucks.
  8. I build airplanes for the most part but have been starting to build tractor/tractor trailers. I just finished this kit and to be honest it was easier to build 40 years ago on Moms kitchen table. I have alot of nostalgia for these kits. Overall it was a hard model to build and the instructions were not real clear. I scratch built the exhaust stacks and heat sheilds for the stacks. But I was glad i built it. My next build is the Revell KW and then when I get my gloss paint skills up to auto/truck standards I will build the Moebius Prostar. All the paint for the cab was done with the rattle can and then polished out some. The frame was painted with the airbrush and then sparayed with a testors semi gloss. Hope you like.
  9. Good luck James. I am about done with the AMT Freightliner COE. I also purchased mine at HL. I think that Diamond Rio would look cool with the logging trailer.
