X2 !!!! -
Hey Rusty welcome to the forums !!! I'll offer my 2 cents about aitm, you'll be very happy with the castings , and the service is fantastic. Dave's a great guy to deal with and is willing take phone calls and definitely enjoys talking trucks As far as updating website inventory, he recently changed his site which is much nicer and easier to find everything, you've probably already seen it . He's really quick about replenishing out of stock items , I've had cabs shipped within a week or 2 . When he told ya tomorrow, the cabs were close to being ready. A quick email to dave should get your order placed Hope this helps

Highway thru Hell
gotnitro? replied to dieseldawg142's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Last episode I watched had an employee return after being involved in a n accident driving a Tundra , she looked pretty sore , but missed what happened. Jamie and 3 other heavy rotator were called out after a pete slid off road edge hauling wood, and it took the entire team to upright the truck without spilling a single plank...very impressed Is the Slammer the area around the huge tunnel ? -

Stellar work !!!! Your lines are super sharp and look great. We're definitely having fun with the Bear tributes !!!! Check your black stripes when ya start them..a few of mine looked like the ink ran low and has a purple look . Mainly on the ones that go right below windshield that taper -

Time for decals ! I'm using the fantastic set from model truckin..it's the truck and trailer set . I'm super impressed with them, they have a slightly thicker film over the stripes allowing several adjustments without tearing !! One issue I ran into was a few looked like the black ink was running out and they appear slightly purple. Here's the NYR Kenworth Bj and bear tribute a few touchups around the gold pin.. Now to see if my stripes line up... Hope ya like ! -

Thanks doc !! -
Most if not all US military equipment is painted using stencils and has a hard edge . Our booth used them for each type equipment, until everything was sprayed CARC tan . Touch ups which were frequent was done free hand . When I paint armor in 3 tone NATO or other it's with an airbrush and use silly putty or blue tack..

50,000 + kits from just one mold ?
gotnitro? replied to Greg Myers's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Impressive to say the least! Funny to ponder a warehouse full of these molds just sitting there waiting to hopefully be used again and not sold for scrap My employer used to make powdered metal sprockets and gears. It was amazing watching the powder similar to dust compacted into a sprocket in seconds...thousands of time per week.watched a row of parts green(before heat treating) from compaction hanging on pin rack start warping like taffy. -
