  1. nice staining on the wood deck ! It really makes the grain stand out I spy replacement lights too..guessing CTM ? The decals on the tractor look great, hopefullly the replacements wont take long to arrive
  2. Very nice work on your Gato ! They are a huge ship when complete, the sail looks very busy and intricate details. Nice work on the fine railings too Love the small shop tools , I've nearly worn out my BUG doing etch
  3. Thanks Brian ! I'm not done adding life to the Detroit since the hoods able to open . I attempted to fab an exhaust pipe but not happy with results . Another go at that soon
  4. Love the stlying on these old Buicks , enjoying your progress
  5. Really nice looking build so far ! The Cat looks ready to fire up The archer rivets will show up under gloss paint, KJ has used them numerous times on his killer KW builds and they look perfectly to scale after paint
  6. Thanks Dan , getting the mixer to this stage took way longer than expected. Trying to add more subtle details brings it to life , but burns thru the bench hrs quick lol. I'm hoping when its finished to photograph it together with the real survivor truck .
  7. I had a few hrs to putter with the mixer , I ended up installing the cab, main mixer unit and odd details while larger sections dried. I found a package of deck plates from moluminum id ordered that I'd forgotten about, and decided the walking areas needed some boot scrapers. The fuel tank, battery box and the side air tank rack had small pieces attached. I'm really close to final assembly now that its looking more like a mixer. Once everything is installed..the fun part begins..this won't be a clean truck .
  8. Very interesting concept, looks fantastic
  9. Beautiful GOATS !!!
  10. Thanks ! The color seemed right for the theme , and the wheels were something my buddy suggested. I originally left em white , but it looked too stark..hence the gray areas . That tied everything together Thanks alot ! Another Finned car for my collection Thanks I appreciate the comments
  11. Thanks ! I wanted to try a full blown engine wiring job, but decided to add the plugs and move on . Thanks ! Thank you ! The color really pops Thanks ive only built a few cars, and definitely plan more..a 69 RS camaro is next up
  12. Very nice work now your hands can take a rest lol
  13. Looking forward to your General!
  14. Your color scheme sounds perfect for the Astro ! Starting to see more cab overs built on the forums of late
  15. Love the colors on the Ford Gareth beautifully done
  16. Thanks everyone ! I tried to keep the changes subtle on the car , not over the top .
  17. Here's my take on amt's kit , definitely a fun build w good details . I wanted a mobster vibe, low and sleek showing off the land yachts huge body lines and fins . Paint is Tamiya gunmetal cleared w wet look and polished . The smoothie steel wheels came from ebay, painted German gray w a wide white wall . Spares box chrome dog dish caps the wheel off Any comments welcome !
  18. Well folks , I can finally say its finished !!!! I painted the huge smoothie steel wheels german gray , leaving a nice fat white wall after trying a few different ideas. A chrome dog dish covers the lug nuts adding a touch of shine . Overall I'm happy , the hood twisted again after paint ..so it doesn't sit flat anymore but my shelf doesn't care Enjoy the pics The mcg pre-wired cap gives the Hemi from Action Modeler plenty of spark and Detail Masters chrome Hilborn stacks allow plenty of cool air into the engine Thanks for following along !
  19. Looking good ! The skirts / ribs tie everything together nicely. Really trick idea w the stacks running up behind the cab too
  20. Awesome work on the decking and struts ! The pe heads your way today
  21. Thanks , its been waiting for me to add the NYSDOT decals awhile..probably should get this under glass lol
  22. Absolutely stunning finish and beautiful build
  23. Thanks Steve , your TA is no slouch !! The fella that sold us the Mach 1 had a gorgeous white WS6 Firebird also, I wanted so badly . The Mach is a fun car , surprisingly its only 305 HP..kinda low and slow for a pony . My Ram 1500 will spank it right down the road lol
  24. We sold our Cutlass convertible after tiring of fixing it every trip..and picked up this beautiful pony car . 03 Mach 1
  25. Fantastic detail work on the little KW
