model1:25th scale

well the body and sides are painted. man I do miss my airbrush, the masking tape peeled some of the paint off. anyways the boom is painted to, got to do some touch up some time today. man I got to get me another airbrush gun. lol

frame is done with wheels. wheels are alittle off gotta fix them and the driver seat and passenger seats are don. cab and bed prep and ready for the paint room today, but gotta figure out what's wrong with my airbrush gun, anyways, it's getting their.

well if they can't read and over pass height sign, then they should not be driving 18 wheels, and I have seen car on top of the cab. and I alos hook up my daughter model trailer to the the tractor and it is the same height. plus I used to drive big rigs for a living I need to build the trailer. which no model company out their is going to re issue them ever again. and I don't like ebay, and but yes they have them on their too.

here is a few pictures that I have taken to make support ramps, but I have used the extra plastic trees from the Galaxie 38 foot fifth wheel trailer. and then I am trying to make a custom transport trailer, and then I took this ramp support apart, and the 3 4 AND 5 PICTURES WILL SHOW YOU. I JUST MIGHT ORDER THE EXTRA RAMPS AND EXTRA PLASTICE TREES FROM GALAXIE. THANK YOU ALL picture will show you what I am trying to do

no sorry and I am telling you that the .040 is so weak it wont support a 1/24 nascar on a custom ramp. it bends under weight. so the Admin can Delete this post. thank for all on the help

I have bought evergreen 020" thick, angle .100 and as soon as you pick them up they are flimsy they bent to easily, and afraid they wont be able to support cars. I notice a scale chart on back of one of the packages, and I am going to go with the scale chart. because the .03. .030 and .100 are nice made but to flimsy . I will post the picture and a picture of the chart. and you will see this for Reference purpose. and thank you for the help and getting back to me , no I am not calling you all out on. but this morning when I notice the chart, I will be going with that and thank you.

thank you

thank you for that. it is a big help

I need help to find the scale in Styrene? I am using the plastic trees left over to build a custom trailer. and I am looking for information to what scale or size in the styrene. thank you

This is the Peterbilt 359 Wrecker by Revell. I am going to be using this kit in my custom Transport car carrier, Sorry the pictures are a little out of order.

microwheel I add 2 pics of my daughter paint. so your son will see. hope this is help him to come into our world of modeling. best of luck. hope to see your son modeling soon.

what I have done I have asked my daughter on a rainy day if she would like to help daddy with the model. (if I asked for a number game) can you please help me find, it. and about 7 different time she took intrest. just a thought best of luck. Thank you Dobbie.

thank you for the comments.

thank you. where making it into the maximum over driver trailer. these lower case letters are not working to well. I even went to two stores for the lower case letting and nothing.

My 9 years old daughter is trying to help me build this. she is new to the modeling. but I think she is doing good. remember please be nice again my daughter is 9 years old. More pictures will come some point today. I am watching her as she is trying by herself. and I am glade to she wants to try. I have added 6 new pictures. what a better way to say a nice job by adding your childs name. for her nice work. (with daddy's help) anyways the white side stripes will be red, and the bottom of the trailer will be a silver chrome color. but had to stop last night because the air brush kit was over heating and very hot to the touch. gotta wait for the replacement to coming. anyways free hand painting until. this will be fun for her.. LOL and the last 2 photo is my daughter painting.

waiting game for more styrene parts from amazon. looks like I am going to be building the ramps and trailer from scratch. I also have the peterbilt wrecker with a kenworth and amt baided trailer coming in. I will keep you all up -to - date once I start. either my custom build or the wrecker or the kenworth with the trailer.

very nice and thank you. that's the peterbilt I am using to get the top ramp done.

Here is my new idea, and I have won the revel 1/25th scale peterbilt with auto carrier from ebay. And I am going to be putting my idea with this kit.. Right know I am using old spare trees from model kits.. and I am using the ramps that came with the Galaxie 38 foor Tri - AXLE Fifth Wheel Trailer. and yes in the pictures the hood dose open and close freely. No I am not going to be using the Peterbilt in the picture. I am using this for a rough scale size. I add 5 new pictures their located at the bottom.
