beautiful build, great looking truck

looking good, love the springs, nice work.

tanks are looking great!

Brian, can't tell you how many times i start out with one color in mind, botch the paint, strip it, and end up going a whole 'nother direction............

cool idea for this build. the beauty of the old AMT kits like this is that nothing really fits anyway, so you're adapting as you go anyway, lol. look forward to this coming together.

wow.................looks fantastic, very realistic looking, not sure what else to say except wow..........

that is one heck of a build! just stunning from front to back, well done!

well, it's not going to match the engine, but i went this route with the body, interior is also done and is now in the cab. making pretty good progress and am in the home stretch i think

that clunk was my jaw hitting the ground man, what a beautiful build, well done!!

wow, that looks awesome! you are really raising the bar, great build.

Gator, thanks. Dennis, no problem. well, snafu city with the paint job masked off the green portions and proceeded to lay down the black, within seconds it looked like i had used paint stripper on the whole thing! not exactly sure what happened, both paints were testors lacquer. only thing i can figure is when i wet sanded the cab and hood i either had something on the paper, or something migrated off my kitchen counter and got on the plastic/paint. so i unmasked it after it tacked up and came to two conclusions, i didn't like the color combo [looked better in 1:1 than in scale] and it was going in the pond, so as of last night it is stripped, cleaned and ready for primer again when i get home from work. now to come up with another color combination.............

excellent work on the interior, motor and frame look equally nice. having painted a body 3-4 times, i feel your pain, but eventually they turn out flawless

thanks Dennis. that is testors 'sublime green'. can't remember if it's under the 'model master' line of paint, or regular testors. its also lacquer paint.

thanks guys got some color on the cab and hood the other night, hope to get the black painted tonight

looks great Jim. will you display that at the fire station?

looking good Jim, Bobo is gonna love driving that

that came out great, great save!

tough looking shorty, looking good.

just amazing, looks fantastic so far!

got this kit from Double Take Replicas awhile back, wish i had got a few more, but this will go behind the Pete 378 when that's done.

fabbed up a headache rack for it, and used some decals on the motor and frame that i got from Kurt Mclukas[sp?] ages ago. cab will be black with green roof and fenders

been working on this for a bit, just now getting around to posting progress so this is the kit,

looks great Jim, won't be long now

yup, you can't beat the service he provides, and the products are killer too

i wonder which issue it will be?
