  1. He has some photos on the TMW web site forum.
  2. Nice job. I haven't seen incandescent lights on a model in a while. The wiring of the grain-of-rice (wheat) lights are of a larger gauge than LEDS, requiring more current. LEDS use thinner wires which can be made more obscure. But the grain-of-rice bulbs do cast a more realistic glow for the headlights.
  3. Welcome to the board Dennis. Those Peterbilts are fantastic. How do you create the chassis? Have you ever attempted a 53 foot van trailer?
  4. Received this from BMLA, in reference to the upcoming Moebius trailer kit: He mistakenly thought the photo of the Moebius Thermo King I posted was a Carrier:
  5. Thanks for expalining that to us Dave, for the fouth time! You are very patient.
  6. A reissue. How about some totally new Western Star kits.
  7. I saw those at a LHS some months ago. I'm wondering if they can be noticed once the primer and paints is on.
  8. I don't remember. I wasn't born yet!
  9. They are. Dragon Models has them.
  10. Fujimi offers buses in 1/32nd scale too.
  11. They are nice kits and they are expensive. But for about 150 pieces, they have a decent amout of detail. You could convert a few to North American GMC brand. They are not easy to local either. A very well stocked hobby shop could order them or you could order them from Dragon Models. Aoshima Web Site
  12. Yes, they are good kits. A high level of detail for such a low parts count. And to the poster above, the tires and wheels would be a good match for lift axles on big rigs. However, the costs of the kits would be prohibitive if you bought a kit just for that purpose.
  13. Nicely done! The NAPA Holmes wrecker body works much better on this era of truck than the newer design Century would have. A 1970s heavy weight!
  14. I wish they had offered a kit Mack Ultraliner.. The resin cabs fall short.
  15. Fantastic work! Did you use the De-Elegant Models, Freightliner Columbia has the basis for this project?
  16. Most of us found you when you announced the Lonestar. Is that how he got a pre-production trailer kit?
  17. Not my build. Got it from the Moebius Models Facebook page.
