  1. I like the way the front blends into the body , especially looking forward to the rear treatment watching how you graft in those pieces
  2. Beautiful work
  3. Sadly heres the only clear one I have , my dad wandered past camera during the remaining shots .
  4. 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
  5. This is really starting to take shape now well done Interesting how well the cab and curved sides on the ramp flow together
  6. Thanks Dan ! I dabble w cars a little ..I have a few cars planned along w random specialty trucks .
  7. Thanks ! I'm really pleased it blended .
  8. Really like your plan, this old White looks perfect as a flatbed
  9. 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
  10. 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 .
  11. Beautiful work Fantastic color
  12. 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
  13. Outstanding fab work !
  14. Beautiful old truck ! showed my dad your Dodge , and he was speechless. Reminded him of an old wrecker his shop had
  15. Love the color ! Another gorgeous car for your collection
  16. Beautiful interior details and the gold color really brings the seat details to life .
  17. Very impressive work and gorgeous fleet of trucks
  18. Hope your eye is getting better, looking forward to more amazing work
  19. 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
  20. 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
  21. Wow really like the new color scheme w the white !
  22. Wow nice work adding all the smaller details !
  23. My paint order arrived today and couldn't wait to apply some color . I'm using tamiya TS-38 gunmetal , w testors wet look clear . Normally I'd sprayed in the booth, but temps outside was perfect for painting . 3 coats later I had a even color and was ready for clear . I pre soaked the cans in a bath of very hot water to achieve a smoother finish Moving everything back inside to cure , I snapped a few inside photos ..when the accident happened. I was so happy w the color. , I was moving the body and separate hood onto my drying shelf when I hit elbow and the hood flipped in the air ...I caught it upside down and left a finger print in the tacky finish..hopefully after curing I'll ba able to wet sand it back and buff away Thanks for looking
  24. Gorgeous work KJ !!! Whew , I can't imagine laying all those rivets down. Adding the half round really makes the ribs believable Looking forward to your updates
