  1. Quite a few people have them at work, and have heard nothing but positive comments about the Maverick, seems like the blue oval has hit a homerun
  2. Small update for the wknd, I assembled the kit frame and installed the T800 conversion frame brackets. I planned to replace the kit 8 bag rear susp w an air ride, but the parts looked very large next to the frame. I started clearing space inside the resin hood to fit around the kit cowl. Theres more work to go, but its taking shape. I just set everything on the kit frame to check fit. The entire project mock up... Thanks for following Jeff
  3. Oh man your breaking out the serious toys now lol, all the gauges and calipers its starting to remind me of my bench at work Which wheel set are you using on your trailer
  4. Awesome review ! I've been looking at the GSM products online, but never seen one up close. The finish looks very good comparatively, and should be easy to paint Which engine are you planning for this build
  5. Sounds like a good plan! Shows how prices have risen, sadly affecting our hobbies
  6. Thanks Gary! I looked over your builds for inspiration Thanks for following along! @Rockford haha I've tried getting help for the addiction, but get drawn back in by shiny new kits
  7. I was staying pretty focused on my current build...then a huge box of plastic, rubber and resin arrived. I fought the squirrels off long enough, then caved in.. I'm building an Anteater T800, using all the updates I could source from plaskit, st supply and others. I'm planning a regular trailer, but adding a lift axle. Here's the pile so far, there will be more surprises along the way. Hopefully I'll stay focused on this build ! Any comments or suggestions welcome Jeff
  8. Looking good so far , keep the updates coming
  9. Outstanding job! Little tweaks make a huge impact
  10. Nice start! Picking colors is fun..I usually leave that to my paint guy..he never steers me wrong lol
  11. Great job ! Loved following along thru the wip
  12. Unbelievable work, there won't be a scale foot you haven't tweaked to perfection
  13. Wow , you drew up a complete belly dump trailer too excellent work Sounds like your tweaks on the cab will help out your printing too
  14. Thats how to build a logger ! Absolutely beautiful if dirty grimy was a thing
  15. Amazing work and love the color! I've used sponges inside cabins before to protect from overspray, but your method worked great
  16. Looking forward to your progress
  17. Looks fantastic so far, those DR trucks were used for everything My 1st truck build was a Reo dump truck and Montone !
  18. https://www.walmart.com/ip/1PC-5-Second-Fixing-UV-Light-Repair-Tool-With-Glue-Super-Powered-Liquid-Plastic-Welding-Compound/440554611 Product I'm referring to
  19. Similar to regular product. Apply the glue to the pillar, hold in place. Flip pen over where the light is..press a button to illuminate light holding it near the break...and it hardens the material. JB weld sells one also
  20. Man...that C15 looks cozy in the frames !!! Nicely done Your shifter ball is a great idea too keep up the cool updates !
  21. I'd repair the broken pillar w a UV glue pen. Tiny amount of glue, cure in seconds w UV light and done . Amazon sells them for around 5 dollars. I'm using one to repair 3d printed parts that normal " super glues" have difficulty bonding to, works excellent
