CAN YOU SAY IMAGINATION. I like the truck with out the wings, is it a salt flat truck? Great builds, i need some ideas for on the back of my papa truck and i think i found one. cheers Ewan

Coming along great. Did you use poly pipe for the fenders and just cap it ? They look great. Also what kit did you start with, tamiya knight hauler? Ewan

Yea i am to Tom There a bit fuzzy, next time i will use my camera not my phone. cheers Ewan

This is what i got yesterday. The boxes are a little worse for wear,but they will be built so thats ok. The papa truck has some stuff glued and the coke truck has enough parts to almost build two. cheers Ewan

Got this in the mail a few days ago, can't wait to get it painted when it warms up.

This is what it looks like now, theres a lot of ramps to tape off. For an old kit i haven't had any warping issues

These pics are from about a week ago when it was still primer.

Welcome you will learn a lot here, this group of people is awesome. OBTW can i send you some snow. let me know,free shipping.

Thanks to EVERYONE that helped out with posting pics, I will post them soon. cheers Ewan

I will be watching for sure as i have the old ertl version and the new amt one. I like the look of the baby blue one, were did you get those tires? All the cement companies around here have the mack front like your other one. They both look great. Ewan

I just got back into modelling, i think i will through my stuff in the garbage and take up knitting… THAT TRUCK IS JUST SICK. cheers Ewan

Well this is my first build thread and only the second rig i have built since getting back into modelling. I will start how i obtained this incredible kit, i bought a few truck kits of a gentleman that was for alack of words was just getting rid of them. Anyway i forgot a kit when i left and he phoned me to come pick it up. The next day i went back and he showed me stuff he had hauled up from what he called the dungeon, there was a bunch of car kits pilled on top of this huge box. He showed me all the car kits and remembered when and where he bought them, i lived in that small town back in the seventies and we talked about the old hobie shops that were there. Well we got to the bottom of the pile and he said you can have this as long as you build it, well when he open the box i couldn't believe my eyes, it was reboxed but the lid was there and when i unfolded it i nearly fainted. So this is where my build starts, i primed everything a few days ago and started last night with it, the main trailer is dun and just working on all the ramps. I will take some pics cause whats a build without them. O BTW I promised to show him it when it was dun. cheers Ewan

What did you use to get such a smooth cut?

Looks great No fumes from the paint now i bet

Still not rollin in it but manage to buy models and stuff. I to had a patch of dirt beside my dads shed were he should tinker with stuff and watch me. I sent you a pm also. cheers Ewan

WOW if you had photographed that outside i swear it would look like the real deal, awesome good, i just got one of the older versions with the truck and camaros, i just primed the trailer and hope mine comes out as nice. I might start a build thread. cheers Ewan
