road boss while being built. more pics of what? copy no one.

looking for advice on brand and type for resins. any input would be greatly appreciated.

I became good friends with Bill Bedell on flickr. His photography of trucks during the 70's was second to none. He was a top rate photographer that happened to drive trucks. He followed the building of this truck closely and died shortly afterward. Sadly we never got together in person, for it was his camera work that prodded me to build trucks again. Anyone building the amt kits should check his page if you want ideas or inspiration. As far as my builds go i started model building around 1966-67 with the annual pontiac kits. Always a truck fan the first was this 359 kit around 1970. Spent 3 years on a sailing ship and cabinet out of walnut mahogany maple etc. ( I would never spend more than a month on any truck or car because the subject matter just isn't there) all of my work had been sitting in cabinets covered up and no one had seen anything. Don't go to shows (Politics) I'm a recluse with multiple hobbies and after a lengthy battle with cancer had decided to share some of my work with others. If some enjoyment comes to others looking then I guess it's worth posting. The trucks are fully detailed with functioning steering etc. I have many, many images of ships cars and trucks.

and the rear of it ;-))

where the rest of the cab went ;-))

rear view

chassis started, like the wheelbase but going to make a few small changes to fit the direction this will be going.

built a few years ago

new here and starting this kit that I built over 30 yrs. ago. I 'm building the rog 359 on my flickr page. will post progress images here of this one. have many builts I may post sometime in under glass. I am impressed with all the builds on here and really enjoy looking at everybodys work.

one fine looker, super job.

beautiful. getting ready to start this kit also.

very special, you couldn't have picked better subject matter. jewelry period.

industrial strength

try a little green added, looks turquoise to me. jus sayin'. ;-))

well done. ;-))

great start, long way to go.

stunning and deserving

first rate diorama

great job and love the paint not overly done. a mirror finish is for show cars only, nothing factory. ;-)

playin' chess while everybody else is playin' checkers. the hobby needs more of this. keep the art comin'.

first rate skill sets

really enjoy admiring everyone's work regardless of build level. this hobby is all about enjoyment. never been one to comment much, so nobody feel offended. I am here to contribute in the way of images. started building in the late 60's and still build the way I always did, lightly modified cars and trucks. my name is Ken G. and I am from southeastern oh.
