  1. Nice frame color that's gonna be killer
  2. I could but its actually green fish line , maybe a coat of gunmetal would give the look Other question I have , what does the gin poles attach to when stowed , they dont seem to hook to roller , guess theres a pivot in the trough they rotate on ?
  3. Okay I'm stumped , trying to decide how to paint the winch cable ? Its braided fishing line. Black doesnt seem right , but not sure how to make it look right...any ideas ? Heres what it currently looks like
  4. Thanks Sam ! I had a photo of yellow truck w black and thought it looked cool. I was planning orange sheetmetal, but the color didnt look good
  5. Whooohoo !!! Looks like your going for the quarantine 15 !!! Your really taking advantage of the downtime, looking forward to the Pete
  6. Oops missed ya Kerry ! Thanks for the comment . The panic color was more gray than in envisioned
  7. Thanks ! Thanks ! The visor is k & s aluminum sheet. I just eyeballed width, then bent ends over around doors. I used dremel to finalize shape Thanks , its really coming together
  8. Thanks Kerry ! I'm really having fun building a dirty truck. About had a panic attack whe I mixed alcohol w the powders , and it looked ruined. Luckily I had sealed the top coat w dullcoat, and the alcohol didnt attack the color
  9. More work on the kw. I needed to replace the kit glass w takeout container plastic , looks more to scale . While I was screwing with the cab, I fashioned a visor from aluminum sheet time for dust ! Using a tamiya weathering pack and water i applied a thin wash around the edges of bumper and overall on the cab/ fenders. the bumper and cage need chipping, they look pretty new vs the deck lol
  10. Way to go !!!! I hear ya on work stalling build time , I was called back also
  11. Stunning work everywhere you look theres super details. Like the tip on the fluid levels , gotta try that
  12. Perfect stance and rockers look good . Really enjoying this build concept , totally believable
  13. Looks good!! Nice work trimming out the cab too
  14. Looks fantastic!!! Love that weedburner exhaust too Awesome work
  15. Outstanding work as always ! Building parts from a photo and turning them into detailed pieces is stunning. Looking at the fine lines on your grill and fenders is remarkable
  16. Awesome work really like the blended in tailgate
  17. Absolutely beautiful work love watching artists paint The sun ray pattern is stunningly simple idea once seeing the masking , but takes a steady hand to accomplish well done
  18. Huge improvement on those tires ! Now it will look like a real dump truck
  19. I snuck it back into cabinet lol thanks Thanks Thanks ! Being back to work really slowed my bench time but stole a few minutes to hang fenders today . I used the round headlights from the kit
  20. Oh yeah that's gonna be sick !!! That blazin black is gonna compliment the chrome box perfectly
  21. In my case it's the lack of subject matter I'm interested in. I like different styles of trucks compared to every day road tractors , so scratchbuilding is my favorite
