A practice run at a rotating stand. the next one will be made out of tubing and will have some angles corrected. And it will get casters too, eventually.

I got this. Played with it a bit even if I don't really know what I am doing.

Hey Cobra, will you be using the engine & drive train or are you using other makes"?

Nothing wrong with your job. However frustrating it was.

American Industrial's version has the cab/hood combination molded in one piece. I wonder how difficult it would be if feasible at all to make all those panels swing open.

Made one out of sprue last night.

Sanded the filler I put around the windshield to bring it even like in Mike Schnur's post # 95 above. Gave it another coat of primer to bring out the imperfections. Looks like it did that very well.

Ah! That's what they mean by Decal restorer. What about the first stuff?

Are you using an American Industrial Truck Model kit?

I've been reading threads and watching videos on attaching decals and there seems two be two juices needed, one for before and one for after. I looked in my old stash and found those two: Gunze Sangyo MS-231 Mr.Mark Softer. I seem to remember this being "decal set". Microscale Industries liquid decal film Have I got all I need?

They are in Photobucket. IIRC?

I have passed the links to my two builds to a friend . He says he can see the text but not the photos. Do you need to be a registered member to see the photos?

The postage. Can't really ask for anything. You mailing address of course. See PM.

Made it, and the one below too.

I like the 8N idea. Old dozers too TD25, AC 21, Terex with cable blade.

Yup. It could use some polishing.

Hessel, is it possible to buy a set of those wheels?

Mike, I intend to build a Bombardier B12 some day. They ran Chrysler L-heads right up until the late fifties.

Joe, I found four reds in my stash, all of them pretty close. So I might practice on the Trans Am until I get it right and then have a go at it. I definitely won't be using the "real" car paint. Too dangerous without the proper equipment.

This quote thing is driving me nuts. Thanks Mike, I had forgotten about that.

you may have a point there.It was thin enough for the gun but maybe not for the airbrush.

I may need one of those later.

Gave the car a good sanding, filled a few scratches. I'll give it another coat of primer. I've been told to use a darker one with the red. After several cardboard windshields that I couldn't get to fit, I gave up on the acetate idea and will use the one from the fastback kit. tried it in the resin body and it is good enough for me. Also, the boot came in from Modelhaus.

Using up the scraps.
