  1. Excellent color choice for the merc ! Their wet look clear tends to bubble on me just looking at it..learned to leave alone and allow to settle
  2. Really nice work , enjoying this build !
  3. Sorry if I hacked your post , got excited when I recognized the truck from the show lol
  4. Ya know now you mention it , they do look odd, almost capped on top . I didn't get a close inspection of the truck, there was a big crowd lurking around it . I did overhear it had a 270 Cummins under the hood though
  5. I like the way the front blends into the body , especially looking forward to the rear treatment watching how you graft in those pieces
  6. Beautiful work
  7. Sadly heres the only clear one I have , my dad wandered past camera during the remaining shots .
  8. That truck was gorgeous, actually won people's choice award at the Cortland homecoming. I might have a few photos of the truck I took that day
  9. This is really starting to take shape now well done Interesting how well the cab and curved sides on the ramp flow together
  10. Thanks Dan ! I dabble w cars a little ..I have a few cars planned along w random specialty trucks .
  11. Thanks ! I'm really pleased it blended .
  12. Really like your plan, this old White looks perfect as a flatbed
  13. Were all heading into the last few months of the BRBO, and starting to see more builds restart ! Let's make this another record year for complete builds if possible Thanks again for everyone's participation
  14. The squarish angular cab really shows the trend of the day, reminds me of the snow fighters of Oshkosh , Walter etc all beautiful trucks over built for heavy work. Your winch is a tiny work of art ! One of those models that would really be special to look at left in raw plastic with only a clear protective coating applied .
  15. Beautiful work Fantastic color
  16. Well, im actually very surprised. I ended up sanding hood down to bare plastic after spotting faint ghosting in my new primer coat . Knowing this could be highly visible under the clear, and likely to annoy me more . A quick spray of tamiya fine red , then 2 even coats of gunmetal resulted in a sigh of relief. Checking the color against the car body showed I was there , and could clear it . My biggest concern was the metal flakes laying down the same. 2 coats of wet look clear had everything blending , and satisfied I could polish away any orange peel . ! I'll give the hood a solid few days to cure then start assembly! Thanks for all the feedback assuring me this could work
  17. Outstanding fab work !
  18. Beautiful old truck ! showed my dad your Dodge , and he was speechless. Reminded him of an old wrecker his shop had
  19. Love the color ! Another gorgeous car for your collection
  20. Beautiful interior details and the gold color really brings the seat details to life .
  21. Very impressive work and gorgeous fleet of trucks
  22. Hope your eye is getting better, looking forward to more amazing work
  23. Very nice work ! Excellent job fitting the roof panel in with a nearly seamless fit Love the color plan, gray is the new hot color
  24. I actually stripped the hood last night down to primer and plan to reapply it tomorrow. I'll watch the coats closely to hopefully avoid having a noticeable color difference. Really excited to see this together, the color combo should look good
  25. Wow really like the new color scheme w the white !
