Awesome interior work

Thanks ! I was very impressed with the color Thanks for following along ! That little can of mystery was awesome...only one faint area I can see Tom has been knocking out his paint too !!! Wait till ya see his ...forget our plans

Fantastic job cramming that 302 into the Fox engine bay ! I thought our 03 Mach 1 was tight lol Interior looks ?

So the back story on this...typical daily model chat w a good friend about a future project and suddenly we're doing a mini group build ! Tbill and I ..with the never ending support of our squirrels ..are building Revell 69 Camaros . The plan was hashed out for both to be mirror builds. Same kits , paint , details everything . The hunt began for the proper kit..meaning I'm searching because my stash of kits is embarrassing lol. My quest to find a good Revell kit was fraught w trouble..apparently this kit was backordered everywhere . A chance search on eBay turned up a suitable kit . I neglected to notice the molded color on mine..and later this would surprise me opening the box and seeing metallic dark blue ! I nearly called off the build because everyone knows yellow is very transparent..what to do....this wasn't going to be an issue I later learned ..keep following The paint was another issue...Daytona yellow is the go to color , which has sadly been discontinued by Testors. I wanted to avoid using the airbrush , keeping w a flea bomb for painting this . I picked a close yellow and paid the tab . A quick stop by MCG had their etch set in the cart along with other goodies ! So it begins.. my kit..in beautiful blue lol Hmm..how is this ever gonna be yellow .. A quick clean up of the faintest mold lines ever, I sprayed the body w 2 coats of tamiya fine white primer. Followed up with 3 coats of tamiya TS-16 Yellow. Now..I really don't know what sorcery they brewed up in that tiny can of magic..but folks..it worked beautifully Thats all I have finished right now ...stay tuned for our adventure

Nicely done ! I've never tried the balloon method before, gotta try that .

The RD would be a great option ! There's a CH hood floating around too, but not sure how it mates up w R cab .

Outstanding work ! That transport looks great

Your really making progress! Those pe deck plates worked out good for the extension, really can see the detail on them I agree ..gotta shift the supports . The a- car better get the green treatment under the hood , it is hauling a load of "the brother of muscle " !

Exciting news for building either way..msrp doesn't scare me away , and offers another opportunity to support the brick and motor shops that still exist .

Fantastic work! All the subtle grime and wear really show off the details Really like the Heil style packer shape.

Thanks its really turning into the build I hoped for Haha sprinting! Gotta sneak up on the dirt bath..I always get anxious about adding the crud layers after months of detail painting..but its a mixer and they're always dirty lol

Gorgeous paint ! What brand pearl orange did you end up using , its really gonna sparkle in the sun

Nicely done and excellent weathering. Very road weary appearance. Both together really tell a story A load suggestion for future builds , cat litter..non clumping stuff . Toss a block of foam in the dump bed then add litter ! Cheaper than RR stuff , and looks scale

Thanks Chris !

Now thats scratchbuilding !!! Really interesting how the whole idea for the cab starts w pinstripes ! Awesome fabrication,

This is gonna be a cool paint scheme w the blue

I borrowed the idea from article in classic truck modeler . Hardest part was setting the wiper angle without sliding off near the glass . Took a few tries on right side

Looks good from here !

nice work ! I watched a show called " Pure vision " one afternoon, and the owner modified a Ford wagon . One of the subtle changes was the door pillar, its almost vertical, where all the others slant forward..that tweak changed the entire flow of the car.

nice wood decking

this is gonna a be a fun build ! cool idea using the tracks and cab together, it really fits well Some utilities company is laying groundwork for upgrades nearby.There's similar tracked vehicles driving around the woods on wood platforms.

wow, building a 7 car hauler ! I cant wait to see this come together.

thanks Dan ! I'm getting much closer to weathering the truck, probably seal w hairspray before the cement goes on just in case it goes South. I really want the chutes to have that worn away paint leaving a bare metal slough down the center. I'm away from the bench a few days, we sold off the saltwater tank..it was costing a small fortune to keep . I started having lousy coral growth and losses , and instead of investing in much more expensive lighting..I'm walking away. Works been really slowing down since I'm employed by an automotive supplier chain..literally timing chain and VCT systems.

Update ! I added the iconic mascot and scratched up the 361 hood placard . I'd love to find some tiny numbers to fill in the 361 plate..gotta be some molded to sprus in the parts boxes The eyeballs got worked last night fabbing up the windshield wipers . The main arm is 040 rod, w 10x20 strip . The actual wiper blade is also 10x20 glued on edge..kit parts are horribly thick. Now the wipers ..their just pinned in place right now to check the shape then ill brush some dull metal / black over parts . The rubber seal around glass was ignored too..oops The extra chute rack needed cleats , strips of scrap brass looked to scale. Mocked up w chutes in place . Lastly the Barney mixer would be amiss without its iconic log chains under the truck . Strips of 040 made the brackets , and chain from craft store i picked up doing the snow tire chains looked the best in scale . Ill dust these w rusty paint later Till the next time ..thanks for following Jeff

Gorgeous Jeep Dan !
