  1. Really fun looking truck, and your nailing that box ! So for the angled windshield, since your cab is metal I'd try something like milliput. Its a 2 part epoxy putty akin to jb weld but used in the hobby world mainly. Its easy to apply and work shapes into before curing . I'd try to roughed up the area for some tooth, mix the putty together and apply to the windshield frame from the center outwards. Moisten the putty slightly allows working time and smooths it very nice.. Just a thought
  2. Opened a recent arrival from AITM , the RM Mack conversion. I have this ridiculous idea to build a truck mounted snowblower and this is the truck for it . I picked up the proper 14x24 tires , wheels , and suitable suspension also Now to find the time..
  3. Nice work on a cool little trailer seen frequently
  4. Anything will work, both of your primers mentioned will be fine . I spray mica red over white or gray , it takes a few passes to build a rich color
  5. I've used the pe saws for years opening doors and fine detail work. The bigger razor saws work good for larger areas where finese isn't needed
  6. Good tips ! I've forgotten much more from school than I recall yikes
  7. Fantastic work really enjoyed watching this come together!
  8. Awesome work Love the color choice too
  9. Stellar work Charles ! I truly enjoy your builds w very clear photos and explanations of your process . Really like how you always seem to start w a blank sheet and build off of that. Great tip using the pvc corners , curved corners have always alluded me
  10. Garbage Use the Ajax or comet powder and clean you'll be much happier
  11. Another tip that was suggested to me , was wash the parts in Dawn dishsoap . Then use something like Ajax powder or comet and make a fine paste and lightly scrub body . This seems to help the stubborn mold release on some parts . Rinse well and air dry . Prime w a good automotive primer , not the tamiya stuff first for better adhesion
  12. Nice and low !!
  13. Serious work truck right there !!! I built the Meng one when it became available, and was blown away by the details. The M911 would look right at home pulling a logging trailer , lowboy hauling heavy dozers or any other rigorous work that would break other trucks ..definitely looking forward to your build .
  14. Very nice ! The yellow really makes the lines stand out . The truck could really fit into any township service fleet or RR operators too
  15. Dec 31st is the official end Certainly looking forward to the finished builds that haven't completed yet , then everyone gets to vote..not by mail mind you..on their favorite build !
  16. Very cool color ! Definitely has the vibe of the era , where they used the same colors on every interior panel
  17. Definitely shows the immense scale of those vessels compared to the tractors wow , not that the d800 is a small truck by any means
  18. Excellent work
  19. You'll recover from your paint woes, we've all dealt with them ! Mine occurred when spraying clear and humidity was high...started seeing these little bubbles..argg Fantastic contrasts on interior though, really wakes it up
  20. Very cool looking forward to your updates
