'90s GMC TopKick C7500
gatorincebu replied to Sergey's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Sergey, I remember this build thread from when you started this project . I just went through the whole thing to see what I've missed in my absence. Truly impressive work . Glad I came back to this Forum. Be Well Gator -
1983 Freightliner FLA

Kurt, This is a really cool project. And I am sure you will do it justice. Have enjoyed the thread thus far. Be Well Gator -
Herman, I just went through your entire build thread here. I am amazed at what you are building here . I assemble models and may at times attempt to modify or add scratch built parts. But you are a true craftsman. I am an American living in the Philippines . And we see the Fuso brand here a lot. The trucks are imported in pieces and sold as Japan surplus. This due to customs import fees .Last year I finished one of the Hasegawa Fuso kits. While they are a pleasant addition to the model trucks available. Those kits leave much to be desired . This thread is much appreciated by me. Thank you for you detailed photos and explanations . Be Well Gator

BRBO Mack B815 Logger
gatorincebu replied to Warren D's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Warren, I missed the beginning of this project. And as some one said "you got a pile of resin there " I have to ask out of shear curiosity. How much money have you got in this project ? I also use the grimy black or Nato black on my painted tires . And your look spot on ! Like the tires chains . But doubt I will ever go there . The conversion to all wheel drive is nice . I have a couple of projects that I intend to do that on . Nice work thus far ! Be Well Gator -
Warmer weather project
gatorincebu replied to JerseeJerry55's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Jerry, I like that kitas a dump truck. Though I have never built a snow plow . Only saw snow in Miami once . And it for sure doesn't snow .Where I am in the Philippines ! Liking what you've done thus far. Keep up the good work ! Be Well Gator -
Tom , I have been watching you build models from afar for several years now . And you just seem to keep raising the bar ! Having worked on a paving crew I can relate to the machine . If there is one thing I would change ( might be tto late ?) It would be the hinges on the hopper wings . The way they are now . Would obstruct the slide of the asphalt a bit. And again I saw what you have done here is really cool and way above my pay grade ! Be Well Gator

gatorincebu replied to Bennyg's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Ben, That is a great choice for the build off . Its too bad they didn't do that likt in 1/25th scale. Looking forward to see what you do with this one. The suspension swap is a good idea ! Be Well Gator -
Bill, Glad to see you brought this back to the bench. The paint job looks real good. Love the colors and contrast going on there. And I especially like the Flag on the rear of the cab m. Well done buddy ! Be Well Gator

KENWORTH X 2 K123 & K100 Aerodyne
gatorincebu replied to CRUSADER2's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Geoffrey, Wow dude ! Two models at the same time. And you are super detailing both of them . What you've done thus far, looks real good from here ! Be Well Gator -
Like most everyone else. I have the same situation going on here. I actually have models I started back in the early 80's . That for whatever reason. Have not been finished . In reality I like the time spent at the workbench and don't worry so much about the finished project. Besides there are not that many people that will ever see my built model in person anyway. Keep on keep'in on ! Be Well Gator

White Freightliner started
gatorincebu replied to JerseeJerry55's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Jerry, A suggestion. Take a fine scotch britie pad and knock down some of the thick paint on the roof. I think that would look really good. Be Well Gator -
