  1. well, was a good day when I got home, these got delivered today the Alaskan hauler is sealed, the other two are sealed inside the collection is almost complete, few more kits I'd like to have, but the list is getting shorter...........
  2. will be waiting patiently for your return I happened to hit hobby lobby the other day, they finally had one of these foose kits in stock, so after a 40% coupon, I added another one to the pile
  3. welcome back to the hobby interior is looking great, nice work. looking forward to seeing your progress on this.
  4. Joe, you are out of control......in a good way looking good, keep at it
  5. well, got 4 interiors done now,
  6. you can get great results with spray cans. I bought an air brush and have used it 3 times [on stuff I couldn't find a color in spray cans for], I prefer 'rattle cans' as many people call them. as mentioned, with spray cans, a little polishing can go a long way to making awesome paint jobs. I will say this, it does take some practice, but can be done quite well. here are some spray can jobs, that is spray can paint with some spray can clear before being polished.
  7. good looking stuff Terry, you build some really cool looking rigs.
  8. JT, awww, you're just sayin that cause it's orange Clayton and Carl, thanks guys
  9. how'd I miss this???? James, holy smokes that thing is pretty [yes, I am a grown man, and just used the word pretty ] but it is! fabulous looking build, absolutely love it! you're gonna fit right in around here, can't wait to see what else you have 'laying' around
  10. Sam, excellent build, I agree with what everyone else has said.....just wow man, terrific...
  11. Jeff, man what a difference those two details make! I see I need more stuff in my arsenal of detail bits and pieces.
  12. I think I am going to stick with mostly kit parts, as I want to keep it a Titan. time will tell how it goes I guess I do have a couple 3 Astro's in the stash, so eventually I will PE kit one of those. Dennis, as Jesse mentioned, it was leaseway . I assume that was the company name, as I clearly remember the trucks doors having the GM logo and leaseway painted on the them. going more for the color scheme of those trucks, then doing the Titan as a replica of one. Jesse, my grand dad sold GMC rigs for a lot of years, somewhere around here I have a 'build calculator' he used to use to determine just how to build a truck per customers hauling criteria. I really need to find that and post some pic's of it, it was kinda cool. might actually start the chassis on this this weekend between Camaro parts assembly.......stay tuned........
  13. looking great Stan, that grille is awesome, great job opening it up. also love the window treatment!
  14. thanks Carl tonight's little bit of progress, two door panels done on another interior, also have the dash about done, and waiting on the super glue on the PE part of the steering wheel to dry so I can finish that off. not much time on the bench this week, hopefully Saturday I can get some work done. thanks for looking....
  15. Jim, thanks. Pavel, I have PE sets for all the cars, but hadn't even thought of getting/ looking for a set for the Titan! guess I am off to see what's available for that. and I absolutely love your astro/car hauler build, a thing of beauty!
  16. haha, my pro star and 53' trailer comes in at @ 36 inches, now I have a complete idea how long that sucker is.......looooong.....
  17. Dan. awesome picture!!!! I have a few more of these auto transporter kits, one of them is going to get done like the killer build you have going on, so it looks more like what you posted, just need to hone my skills a bit more.
  18. .....it's funny in a way now that I think about it, all the Camaro's are in GM colors, the Titan on the other hand is actually an AMC color, lol. I went with the AMC light blue as it looked to me about the color of the GM car haulers I used to see when I first started working in GM dealerships. with luck, when this project is done, it'll all work together and look 'right'........
  19. Jeff, the plan is a chevy Titan pulling a revell auto transporter full of 69 baldwin motion camaro's, IF i can get it all done in time
  20. what's the total length on this bad boy??
  21. looking good so far, look forward to more updates.
  22. too cool man, will be watching as well.
  23. beautiful! [not much else to say really, it's just beautiful]
