  1. Great job on your restoration! Thats a nice looking DM
  2. Excellent work, looks fantastic behind your rubber duck mack
  3. So many excellent builds waiting there turn being finished up!
  4. I wish I had seen those CTM hose fittings after making mine, so much nicer. Your interior looks great, those PE sets make a world of difference, especially in the office. Armor builders have been treated to PE forever, glad it is finally making its way to rigs
  5. After reading about all the issues people have w Rustoleum paint, I can now see why it shouldn't be used. When Line-O-Tape peeled it off in sheets, I almost stripped the entire build. I decided to push thru the problem, I'm too far along now. A couple touch ups will suffice. CTM trailer lights and reflectors set worked perfectly, and gives a modern look I really like. I'm not building a show trailer, more daily used kinda build. The hopper was sprayed w a random mix of tamiya paints, creating a old steel base color. More rust and dirt tones will be added over this, then the entire trailer a dusty wash. I hope it turns out like I plan...nothing like screwing up a build after months of work if it goes south! Thanks for following along!
  6. Excellent work Jeff ! I can't get over the details on the Detroit engine, compared to kit offerings this is a huge improvement. I order from Paul quite a bit, very pleased w his selection
  7. Thanks ! I kept changing my mind about color..yellow or white. Finally settled on this @BK9300 honestly unsure what equipment was used to cut the sides out. If I hear anything I'll let ya know for sure
  8. I sprayed the trailer this morning, Rustoleum white enamel that was sourced locally. I expect the paint to take several days to cure enough to handle, then start adding the plumbing and lights.
  9. Wow I'm blown away how nice this looks
  10. That would look really sharp pulled behind one of your Brockways! Sorry its that time of year again when the Huskies come back to Cortland lol everyone around here has sled dog fever this weekend
  11. Nice rebuild! Glad to see you remove all the ridiculous chrome this kit has
  12. Looking good! The stripes turned out nice and dull..unlike the kit offering lol Your engine bay details are popping too
  13. ditto what everyone said about this build..love all the small hardware tying everything together sharing the actual parts really shows your attention to detail
  14. I pulled the T800 back down from the wip shelf planning to tackle those fender mods. After several hrs of muttering under my breath, I cut my losses and ordered a replacement hood. I'll just run the internal air cleaner, time to move along
  15. Thanks for following along! Im almost ready for primer and paint on the trailer the laser cut frame rails were parts that a fellow model builder was working on before he passed away, and I was asked to finish the trailer
  16. glad to see this build back on the bench! looks like you've been stocking up
  17. Thanks @Mopar - D I really enjoy the challenge of doing a build just from a couple random photos
  18. Incredible scratchbuilding! The individual parts already show the potential for serious detailing as the build progress's
  19. Beautiful work!!! That red Georgia clay looks great spread about the build, and the small details stowed in the boxes
  20. Nice job on the railings! Your grandkids will definitely appreciate them Your bench is wayyyy to clean..time to clutter it up lol
  21. @Mopar - D thanks ! I used your photos to judge where the cylinders would fit best, keeping my pins held in the brackets made for some interesting language. I finally used a dot of poster putty to hold them..and attached the brackets I figure if it was easy..we'd have a kit of it by now lol
