I don't want kits just sitting in the boxes. Never building them and not seeing what you can do with it is not for me. It's just money sitting there with no purpose. It's more fun to build them than look at a box full of parts wondering what it would look like. I do know some people around here who has room full of cars that they will never build, one tried to sell them and thought he'd have a small fortune. He was wrong. Remember you can still look at the boxes even after it's built and you still enjoy the building. One problem people do forget as kits get older the plastic gets brittle and the decals are no good I've seen this happen.
Thanks Force there are some great pics there, I think they would be beyond my ability to make. I will have to try the vette if I can find a car trailer that looks right.
Surprised no one put on the old Fords like the W-9000. CL-9000 There are some good ones there too but it seems boats and war stuff are really very demanding.
Thanks guys. without the help of some great people here which I'll name in the finished pics, I couldn't have gotten these done. I'd like to try Defiance, and or the wheel standing Freightliner COE. But can't find many pics at all
The Mama is done now just wating on the air conditioning unit for the roof. I tried to duplicate the bed decals but they didn't suit me. I may have to skip them.
Thanks ,
I am retired so I spend most of the day watching the tube and working on models. It's been wet here so can't go out much. It just keeps me busy. I would do more but am running out of the stuff I need. I have some parts comming to finish these off and these are a bit of a guide for you others who can do much better. You'll notice things that could be better. I may down the road have to shorten the bed. Wish I had the right decals to finish it right
