Anyone thirsty? Ford pop truck
tbill replied to GLMFAA1's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment

I've been using testors ultra gloss clear coat [product number 28139], it's lacquer and hasn't bothered my decals yet, plus I find it sprays great and you can lay it on pretty good without runs/sags. not with sure how it would react with what paint you are using, but might be worth a try if you can find/get it.

What do you use to mount headlight lenses and glass?
tbill replied to om617's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I have been using future for windows and lenses, I like it, and it's been working well for me so far. -

Canepa KW, new project
tbill replied to tbill's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
dragging my feet a bit on this one. got the interior almost all painted up on the sleeper, it's looking pretty good I think. been puttering on the tanker trailer for it as well [two builds from heck, go figure], pretty soon though it should all come together. thanks for following along. -
looks great, will be watching this build.

holy smokes those are nice!

the fleet......outside....
tbill replied to tbill's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
thanks guys after a long winter of looking at them in the house it was nice to get them into some different light [at the show and outside]. I will admit, that orange IS really bright, lol. best part of it all, with hauling it all to and from the show, messing around with them in the driveway, and putting them away, I only broke off 1 mud flap, and that was while putting the pete back in the cabinet -
It's not the cost, it's the value :)

after getting back into the hobby last September, I find I am buying many kits from my youth, it's amazing how seeing/buying the kit again seems to jog the old memory, takes me right back to the day I first built the particular kit. to me, that is priceless. -
the fleet......outside....
tbill replied to tbill's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
thanks, wish I had a better camera, but the cell phone does ok. was nice to see them in the sun for a change. [heck, it was nice to see the sun for a change.......] -
I saw this in person today at the Spring Thaw show, it looks even better in person, just a fantastic build. was also nice talking with ya today at the end of the show Bill. great truck! [love the condenser tubes ]

Building season is over for me...
tbill replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
apparently the fella who has to do all the outside chores you have lined up -
Justin, was nice to meet you, had a great time. you guys put on a wonderful show today, there were a ton of great looking models there well done for a first show, congrat's. also met a bunch of cool folks today, and a number of them are members here, was neat to see the builds I have watched on-line for so long in person. thanks again, it was a blast

well, after what seems like a never ending winter, I went to the Spring Thaw Show in Utica NY today, was a great show with an incredible turn out, and I had a great time. when I got home, I thought it'd be a good time to take some outside pictures [before they went back into the display cabinet], so here they are in some actual sunshine
-
packed and ready my stuff isn't great, but i look forward to showing it to other builders, and meeting some other 'locals'. and also plan on buying more stuff than i need.........
