  1. Awesome looking model !!!
  2. Thanks DC haven't seen ya much around here..thought maybe ya caught that red hand rash too lol The decals lay down easily, but assure you cut very close to the stripes cause the carrier covers the entire sheet. I ended up with a few clear blobs . Using decal solvent like Micro sol will pull them into low areas and around details.
  3. Thanks ! It's taking much longer than expected
  4. Your work is impeccable, so clean and detailed it's a pleasure to follow along watching them develop. I run into the same issue getting tubing and stock to look proper, sometime I just lucky guess
  5. Tiny update for tonite..my first custom visor ! Thin metal sheet from k& s about thickness of soda can..it's extremely sharp Everything else is wrapping up but been tough stealing productive bench time lol I'll probably add the Texas bumper before long, once i practice technique on scrap, and all the finish touches . Stay tuned
  6. The use of comet isn't really an issue when using dawn and water imo. The parts I've done still require primer and painting...which fills in the tiny scratches you MIGHT get . I don't scrub the part just a light washing works fine...but it's just an idea . I use duplicolor primers for everything they bite into resin like a dog on steak.
  7. Ditto^ just placed another order from jamie awesome stuff
  8. Dawn dish soap w a shake of comet cleaner also works , scrub with an old toothbrush, rinse, air dry. Been using this on a few resin parts lately. Hope it helps
  9. Sure our local highway dept would let me snap a few pics and measure theirs , drop me a pm if needed, I'll chat up the super. Sounds like jeff b already has us covered ! Can't wait to see it cast
  10. Man that's a serious collection of old iron there..I think I spotted a 71 cutlass coupe facing a picket fence . Too bad they already know where Bullitt is or I'd suspect it was lurking there lol
  11. Wow those other pics really show how lucky the driver was, I think God played a hand in this one and it wasn't pushing those boulders off the bank . Insurance companies sure love to use fine print to avoid payouts ! Keep safe
  12. Thanks everyone I appreciate the comments! !
  13. Looking forward to another season ! Wow that boulder destroyed that rig hopefully the driver was ok
  14. Yup completely normal ! Life has a way of derailing projects
  15. Thanks it's some left over etch from a Stryker MGS . I'll add the NYR letters to it soon
  16. Small wknd update ! Added the CTM modern marker lights square headlights and reflectors. The parts are very impressive the lights even have a reflector kinda look inside The numbers came from jerry, actually forgot I'd ordered them !! Now to the handrail , and get the cab mounted finally
  17. You gonna make this a tri axle truck with all the extra length or a tag axle ? Your bunk looks good together with the cab
  18. Looking good from here !
  19. Thanks ! Man that is beautiful country, until the snow get whipping
  20. Awesome build..a real monster
  21. Garys casting is nice and thin, not the blocks of resin ya have to grind half off used by many .
