awesome build, looks great.

thank you as well guys. it's amazing how many everyday items get repurposed as model supplies.

well, it begins... 3 hours later it's ready for a wash and wet sand, then off for primer. amazing how time goes by as you file/sand/fit repeat.....

speaking of putty/filler, what're you all using for an applicator? I've been using a knife, but a 'scale squeegy' would be better. suggestions?

I guess if he had a chevy volt, it wouldn't have been an issue

thank you for the kind comment on my build. I was told that the log trailer kit was originally designed to be smaller scale, I wonder if that's why it is like it is?

that's pretty slick, I like the way you think!

thanks guys. I think i'm going to start it this weekend. have been looking over the instructions to get familiar with it, and I think I may start cab/body stuff first [like my last build], get the hard stuff done first, then relax and build anyone interested in a review on this kit, or is it old news? if interested, I took pic's of the sprue's and what-not just in case. I thought maybe a novice review might be entertaining, lol.

hahaha....you guys are OTL out to lunch.....

thanks for the reply. it's actually the testors acrylic paint and I want to run it thru an air brush. as I have read a ton of stuff on how paints of different composition don't play well together I wanted to make sure of what I needed under the acrylic.

I have read a ton of articles on this paint, but either can't find the answer i'm looking for, or have over looked it, so forgive me if it has been covered already. the question is this, what primer is suitable for use under acrylic paint?

hard to add anything to what's already been said, beautiful build, and very nice mix of 'old' and 'new'. well done sir!

fantastic job! it looks real, incredible detail, and the paint,.....fugettabout it, WOW!!

thanks for the laugh, that was some funny stuff [all of it so far].

my wife bought me the 'sox & martin' GTX today while she was in hobby lobby

welcome, get ready for information overload, lol.

hey all, about to start on this, any hints, tips, suggestions on this kit? it'll be my third truck build, [which so far has been a snap w900 and a mack r model] any pitfalls or crazy stuff to look out for? thanks in advance, tom

awesome job, that looks fantastic!

just to update, got the correct trailer today, and he threw in a couple extra goodies with a note, how can ya beat that?

not too bad, had a few warped parts [tow bar sections--not sure what else to call it], and sanding/filing the inside of the main chassis that the bar goes thru is a must [was for me anyway]. it was my second build and I managed it ok

maybe, saw this weeks hobby lobby add, 25% off all model kits, maybe they are getting ready for a 'new' batch of plastic inventory.

thanks all. JT in about 6 months when the sun comes back out around here, i'll do an outside pic, NY winters are looooong........

hey all, I just wanted to post something about Jimnohio, I recently ordered a couple kits from him, they shipped fast, but I had one wrong item. I e-mailed, and within an hour I heard back from him. he explained what happened [honest mistake], and gave me the option of him sending what I ordered and upon receiving it, return the wrong item and cover my shipping cost, or sell me the wrong kit at a great price. I opted to buy the wrong one, and the correct one is in transit. I guess what I want to convey is, I had a small issue, and he offered two great options to correct the problem, and did it quick without trying to avoid the situation. that speaks volumes to me. will shop there again without hesitation.

supplies- hobby lobby [last two trips out got a ton of paint on clearance] kits- hobby lobby, e-bay, model roundup, jimnohio, scale hobbyist, and lately at shows random equipment [dehydrator, paint booth] amazon.com

doesn't seem likely, my 'local' one has had the same kits for what seems like forever.
