every second counts

LUV the colour, I had a shelf full of vans back in the day. Wish they would repop. the califonia cruser and char lies angels.

VERY NICE I hope mine turns out that nice when i get it, i am getting that kit and three other mini craft kits in a trade.

very nice going to have to find a few of those kits.

That is so cool. Did you scratch build the nose and tail wing? I saw somewhere on here there was a guy making them, was that you? Another of my favourite petty cars.

YEA no kidding make some parts to sell, i would take a grill for sure OR if you could go into detail how to do it. That would be great to. Also one of my favourite petty cars.

The most i have paid was 225.00 for a sealed BJ and the bear truck kit, i was going to open it after i read some stuff on here about old kits, but i don't think i will.

santa is moving into the 21st century. VERY NICE

That looks so sweet, it is giving me so many ideas.

I have a Don garlits, wynns jammer that has a clear body. The frame and motor are moulded in grey. The kit also has lots of chrome.

AS lee said, use primer and your good to go. Thats all i use and have two rubber maids full of cans of all sorts of colours. I have tried grey, red and black primer under different colours to see what shades i can get. All you can do is experiment to see what you like. good luck Ewan

Nice save ,it looks better than it did back when it was built.

That looks amazing I agree I WOUNDNT change anything. Nice weathering or maybe its dust, mmmm not sure. That must be resin, never seen that body as a kit. I do see these in the summer as a lot of farmers in our area use them for corn and grain harvesting. I can't believe some of the trucks these farmers have. later Ewan

I am looking into casting the tyrone tires out of resin as i can't find a source for soft urethane rubber. Would there be an interest in resin ones instead of rubber? Myself i need some as the truck I bought didn't come with any tires. the seller didn't mention it was a partial kit. cheers Ewan

That weathering job is sick, woooow. I have two of the trailers waiting to do something similar, you might have just moved them up the ladder. awesome Thanks for the inspiration. cheers Ewan

Yes jt does some amazing trailers, i have one to and just got it painted.

Thats really cool and loooooooong

I just saw a 1/12 foose camaro at my lhs for 69.00.and was wondering if thats what you started with?

The black and red is killer, it looks like the rear fenders are a different colour?? Truck and trailer look awesome together.

I wish i could get a pic, every time i see one its next to me on the hwy. Yesterday i saw 3 alone in one day, all the older mack cabs and 3 different companies. I did notice that they all have the water tank and gauge were yours is, never really noticed that before know that i am looking for them. Ewan

That looks awesome, Great start. keep it up.

Thanks guys Its all wrapped up ready to move. Hope to get back to it soon as building helps me to relax after the day. cheers Ewan

A GREAT BIG WOW I used to work for the company up here that built those actual trucks, i welded the rear frame and the floor and then on to the next station for the walls.. Man you did a better job than us. FANTASTIC Cheers Ewan

Welcome to the forum ryan, luv those wings at gagsters. mmmmm

I agree with purepmd GREAT paint and colour combination. I might just borrow that combination if you don't mind, i just got a ryder trailer with natural weathering as it was i someones crawl space for about 20 years. I don't think mine would be a detailed. Ewan

I just built the race car hauler in school bus yellow and thought it was bright. you wouldn't loose that in a snow storm. looks great.
