Every section is here for a reason,no need to end any of them. God Bless

I think its good that the big scale topic's are separate from the others because when you go there that's all there is,.and nothing gets mixed up and lost in 1/24 and1/25 scale topics, since not to many people build big scale kits. I believe they would get over looked even more if they were mixed in with the small scale builds. Anyone that doesn't go there and look around is missing out on some great & well detailed building going on. I don't care if I like the model topic being worked on or not its the talent and detail that I look at anyway no matter what scale it is. So if your reading this go to the bottom of the page and see what you've been missing. God Bless

Looks good man it should turn out nice. God Bless

Good looking little car man and nice detail work. God Bless

Been away a while but been messing with this one when I can. Every other truck I have started is packed up or busted up so this is my new start I guess. Lot of custom work on this one. It will be trimmed out with a lot of my scratch built and stainless metal items. That's the reason for this build is to show off the items that I sell for these trucks. The hood has a straight edge all the way down like the 379 for the look without stretching the hood, cowl, fenders are not finished. It has my grille insert on it and it will have Stainless trim with a Stainless turbo and single lights with J brackets. It will have a wide bumper for the front. The cab window brace's have been removed, front and side, it will have my parts added Stainless Visor, Vortex style Air Breathers, Lower cab trim, custom mirrors. The sleeper has my Light panel on it with the visor style rings, my airlines will be added later. I added a piece of .080 to the top of the sleeper like the high tops have just for something different. It will have Turbo wing on it also. Turbo wings came from Eric at P&P Resin The rear deck is a test run of one I will be selling also, the rear bumper has Aluminum rings for it. The frame will be loaded with Stainless and Aluminum parts. Fuel Tanks, Battery box's, Tool Box's, Big pipe's. The tires have been detailed with small files to look like the Pete rim's, smooth lug nut and center cap covers and valve stems. Stuffed with foam to fit the rims right. Not perfect, but there still nice looking. This is just mock up, still have to tweak some things to get the stance I want, but its coming along just fine. And it will be painted my favorite color mirror finished black. It will be pulling a racing trailer that I got from good ol JT on here detailed up a little bit, loaded with a, well I'll keep that a secret for now but it will be bad and black also

Sorry to here that Carl,however it looks like you have a lot of friends willing to do it for you. I can't do the BMF thing myself. When I do trim, I just mask and paint also,its been said but maybe you can go that way when trimming one out. God Bless

Looks real good. God Bless

Very nice work man, it looks real good. God Bless

Regardless of the truck your painting smooth your main body color by wet sanding it until you get it right. Gloss coat and let it dry until it is hard I wait a least a week or more for mine to gas out and dry. That way when it is taped for the stripes or two tone color,should any paint lift off it should just be the clear coat. The longer you wait the better it will be. After it is dry tape your area off for your next color,spray a light coat of clear over the area and let it dry before putting your color on, that will help prevent bleed through on the edges. As for the design I would make the top edge of the bottom line taper in just below the bottom of the sleeper door pull handle and wrap it around the bottom edge of the sleeper across the back of the sleeper. As far as the Sun design I would paint it like it was behind some clouds maybe late in the day with some orange against a dark color. Rough/Natural edges instead of sharp edges like a flag. Centered on the sleeper Same method if you paint a Moon mural. Just some idea's if you want to use them. God Bless

Man this is looking real good. God Bless

Your right,the small details take time to scratch build. However they make a BIG difference in the end nice work man. God Bless

Very nice build JT God Bless

This is looking better and better man. God Bless

That looks real good man. Nice and clean God Bless

Looking real nice Bob.

Good looking build on this one man. Keep up the nice building and take the advice given here for building anything ,it's the little details that stand out the most sometimes. Big Rigs are a slow build out of the box so that's the norm the better the truck the more parts to deal with so don't let that stop you from doing more trucks. God Bless

Nice and clean, it looks good man. God Bless

This is a very nice truck Dave,it came out looking great man. God Bless
