Nice looking paint job! Looks like your bodywork turned out pretty good as well. Be Well Gator

Guys, You all make good points. I will say this. I am glad that all of you or on this Forum and participate both with builds and comments! I like U-tube for music, but don't get into watching the videos. I find something I want to listen too. and sometimes even put on the headphones. I do have a laptop I can use when at the workbench.And do so often. And again I will most often use the headphones . I will change genres from old rock and roll to acid rock to blues or jazz etc. Be Well Gator

Tom, Glad to see you here. Hope you can really get busy at the bench now. Be Well Gator

Terry, I kinda thought the hoods were fiberglass. I had not really given any thought to repairs made with pieces of metal. But you are right about that. I like your artistic license, and my question was in no way, shape or form, meant as a criticism. I really like your builds and hope to continue to follow your build threads here. Be Well Gator

Terry, I really like your uninspired projects!!! But I do have a question. The hood and fenders . Were the hoods and fenders steel, aluminum or fiberglass? I honestly do not know . Be Well Gator

Scott, The doors are separate pieces and are a pain to get to work right. The cab does tilt, not sure how well. However it can be a fun build. Be Well Gator

That is a really well done theme build. I like it! Be Well Gator

X 's 2 Very well done! Be Well Gator

Darren, This is just sick!! On the shifter, are you going to put some gems in for the eyes? That would be trick if you could do that. Be Well Gator

You are so right about that! I remember the uproar .When the format for the Forums changed! But going back a few years, I remember when Yahoo Groups was the place for the Model groups. Then i left Yahoo because I lost a computer to a Trojan horse virus. And the Proboards was the coming thing. Like one person said. Way too many people put too much info about themselves and their lives on Face Book. Be Well Gator

Dennis, I have to agree with you. I have come to like this Forum over the others. but I am also stubborn. I just can't and won't give up on the other Forums Be Well Gator.

Okay that sounds like a plan. But it would look good pulling a dump or a flatbed as well1 Be Well Gator

Jesus, Sounds like a interesting project. Oh I found the lowboy I am going to send to you. Just need to cut it in half. and then find a box for it. be Well Gator

Thanks for your reply's . Yes it is very easy to spend way too much time on the PC rather than at the workbench. My problem right now is getting things organized. When I packed my models to move to the Philippines. I thought I had thing pretty well organised! ...............not!!! I recently pulled out a project that I thought was all in one box. Only to find out. That I don't know where all the parts are. The project(s) two Ford LNT dump trucks. They were on my workbench during Hurricane Andrew in 92'. Talk about waiting a long time to get back to that project.lol So I put the one I found in the drawer. And pulled out a fresh kit. Italeri DAF Cattleman truck. Gawd I hate multi piece cabs! Will start a workbench thread in a day or so. Oh the other thing I do not do nor have ever done. Evilbay! just never got into it. But I can see where it could get to be habit forming! lol Be Well Gator

Hey Guys, I was just wondering. How much time do you spend on line checking the Forums and facebook modeling sites? Being retired I spent a coupe hours a day online. Most of that is on model related sites. In the past I had gotten to the point where I was spending more time online than building models. And now that I have finally gotten back to the workbench. I am determined not to let that happen again. Though many of the Truck related Forums are rather slow these days. There is still some activity,by some of the older dinosaurs, who refuse to do Facebook. Be Well Gator

Some real quality scratchbuilding going on here! Be Well Gator

Nice looking paint job. I also like the stance. Be Well Gator

Alfred, Are you going to build a trailer for it? if so what type? Lowboy? flatbed? Be Well Gator

Chuck, The addition of the tool boxes is a great idea. They all look very good! Personally I would add a expanded metal( splatter screen ) between the headache rack and the 5th wheel. That would fill in the top of the chassis. What are you going to put behind it? A lowboy ????? !! Be Well Gator

Real clean build and a nice looking model. Be Well Gator

Nice job on the paint and foil ! I knew a guy years ago that had one he made into kind of a camper surf vehicle. After looking at your.I thought . Hey you could make this into a tin woodie! Be Well Gator

very nice ! I like the stance , the weathering. This make a really nice shop van go getter . Be Well Gator

A really coo project and a unique approach .Awesome weathering. Be Well Gator

That is looking good with both colors on it now. Are you going to weather the model any? Be Well Gator

Darren, Adding color is going to make a huge difference. What you are showing here looks really good ! Be Well Gator
