Thanks! It's off to paint now!

I just wanted to share a few images of the "special edition" parts that were cast for this build, so a test fit was in order !! I asked a local truck builder if he would handle the casting, and they 're back today !! The bumper and fenders fit perfectly onto the kit , so no changes were needed. ok...try to imagine the original lonestar. Pretty cool, but now... The set above is now available from gw trucks!!!! I'll post more info in the resin forum .. Jeff

Awesome work Dan! Everytime I look, some new detail jumps out...very cool

Awesome lowboy trailer! I'll sign up for one when ready!

Looks good Mike...those front tires looks familiar!

Thanks. Just a few more details to paint, and its finished.

Thanks ! The lonestar really flows nicely w this scheme. Should make for something out of the norm on shelf!

Wow, that would be an impressive model

Impressive work! Thanks for the step by step build. Your brass working skills are amazing

Awesome paint job!

Thanks

Looks fantastic!

OH !! Just heard the fenders,and bumper are done, should have them soon for installation! I can't wait to see them on the truck

As promised..ITS PAINTED !!!! well, almost. The truck needed several layers , akin to a camo scheme , to achieve the final look. The silver is MM aluminum, chrome is Alclad, and the black is Tamiya lacquer . JT should love the stripes..heard he has a thing for orange! Its testors International orange..fitting for the Lonestar. Heres the pics.. laying down the stripes..time consuming, but better than a decal in my eyes.. If your planning to model the HD, you'll need to change the side panels on the hood. I filed the kit panels , then layed thin .010 strips for the new sides. These received a coat of Alclad chrome. Well, thats it for today !

Thanks, I promised pics of the paint. .and I won't disappoint!

Love the ram! That's gonna look amazing on the gravel trailer. Thanks for the how to for making them

I'm working on the paint currently for the cab and hood. This wknd I'll have more updates, thanks for following along and the great feedback.Found the Line o Tape thru mega hobbies, just waiting for arrival. Hey KJ thanks for looking in! I gotta contact you about some wheels

Thanks! Glad I asked, that will add another dimension to the build.

Unsure yet on Utica, hope to attend.

Question - where's a good source for the reflective tape seen on truck sides?maybe called DOT stripe? Sorry for the dumb question, but I'm still learning

Thanks it's been a fun build, glad everyone likes it

Looks good Dan !! Must be you moved the truck again..had to add another gusset !! The framework looks amazing, gonna look awesome under a coat of color! I remember my dad working on his bosses car hauler,and he was always reinforcing the trailer before another trip..seemed that trailer was a solid weld before it was scrapped. gotta see if he has any pics of it.. Keep up the great work! Jeff
