Volvo VN780 + 50' trailer
tbill replied to PierreR89's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Thanks for the info. I usually build the cabs, paint them, then paint the inside with brush paint for my interior color, but this kit is a bit of a different animal to do that way, atleast I thought. Might not be as difficult as I was thinking. -
Pete 378 long haul

Thanks guys, and yes, the chassis is kind of hard to paint, all odd angles and shapes, not to mention the length . I finished it up this morning, -

Volvo VN780 + 50' trailer
tbill replied to PierreR89's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Good looking pair. Thinking of starting one of these as well, but at a glance , I can’t figure out how to stuff the interior into it if I build the cab first ....., any thoughts? -
What a great garage scene, lots of things to catch the eye. Fantastic job.

Nothing like a quick build to get the juices flowing, lol. was worth the wait, looks great Jim

Pete 378 long haul
tbill replied to tbill's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Thanks guys? I have the trailer about 1/2 done , I swapped on some moebius wheels to upgrade the look a little. And then naturally I had to see what it was gonna look like, haha. Still a ways to go, but I think it’s going to look pretty good. -
Pete 378 long haul
tbill replied to tbill's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Thanks guys . Needed a trailer for this, so it’s getting a revell car hauler . It’s going to be a matching red with silver ramps. Started on it last night and got it in some color today. -
Well, due to the pandemic, I have been out of work for 8 weeks now. The weather has mostly been crummy, so not much can be done outside. As a result , I’ve been spending most of my time at the bench, good thing is, I’ve been very productive. After seeing the other post about virus builds, I thought I’d post up mine, and update it as I go. Hope you like the selection. p.s. the lowboy was built to replace the one I swiped from my orange 352 awhile back for the Pete snapper I made into a day cab.

Ya, I’m on a roll alright, lol. been out of work for 8 weeks due to the virus, and the local weather has been pretty crummy for the most part. So, I’ve been spending a large portion of my ‘work day’ at the model bench. If it weren’t for building models, I think I’d be off my rocker by now.

Thanks guys?

Thank you for the kind words everyone, much appreciated.

Great looking pair! You’ve inspired me, I may take a crack at building one of these kits.
-
That’s pretty cool, I like it

Another one in the done column. Great kit, everything fit nice, easy build. Colors are testors diamond dust silver, revving red and the frame is mythical maroon. I did use aftermarket mud flaps, service lines and deck plate. Thanks for looking.
