Duel Peterbilt 281 & Tanker
James Maynard replied to spencer1984's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Nice! I'm working on this exact same truck. -
Thanks for replying. I got it today. Working on my Duel truck now.
-
I ordered from these guys and it says my order has shipped but that was Thursday and nothing has arrived yet.
-
Yeah that's the way I'd rather do it. It's like Ebay. I have my PAYPAL set up already.
-
What about using PAYPAL directly on the site?
-
Thank you.

Marmon 110 coe.
James Maynard replied to The Brush's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Nice truck. I'm going to be building the shorter cab of one of these soon. -
I thought the wheels always looked different in several scenes. There are so many factors that still make this one tough. Like the hood ornament. The colors changed from one scene to the next too. I knew there was 2 trucks used but there was actually 3? Another thing that keeps changing are the colors of the fuel tanks. Sometimes they're black sometimes they're faded chrome. As can be seen in both of those pics there. This one is harder than I thought it would be.

I plan on ordering several conversion cabs from AITM next week. I just wanted to know what payment methods they except. I asked them and even made an account there but they never replied back to that specific question and there is nothing on the site about payment methods.

Thanks. I'll probably just build the truck. I may not even do a trailer for it. The weathering and aging is hard. And another problem with this one is they used 2 different trucks in the movie and they were slightly different colors. One is gold and the other is more of a champagne color. Tough truck to replicate.

I would like to add Sam I am and Casey to the great traders list.

Peterbilt pacemaker mystery.
James Maynard replied to James Maynard's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Thanks for clearing that up. I got that truck from ebay to restore it. I thought those parts were odd. -
Oompah loompah doopity Dee. I've got another puzzle for yee. Ok that's enough of that. Now on to the topic mystery. Has anyone else ever seen this slightly different issue of the Peterbilt pacemaker? Notice the different grab handles, air conditioner, and breather in the one in the first 3 pictures, from the one in the last 2 which is still issued to this day. And sorry for the Willy Wonka reference. I haven't slept.

Peterbilt Rebuilt
James Maynard replied to DumpyDan's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Very nice. Love the weathering. -
Putty body filler
James Maynard replied to James Maynard's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
They look smooth after they have the grease on them. I know they have the ridges and grooves in them under the grease. But some really old ones are worn smooth over time. I'm going to make some of my older trucks look worn and rusty. -
Chevy Titan 90 rebuild
James Maynard replied to James Maynard's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Well had to start over here. The can of green paint I used was brand new but it must be bad. It dried with a cracked glass look to it. And no it wasn't because of the primer because it dried that way on the tape too. So the cab is back in the purple bath. -
What is something good to use for a body filler. I need something that can make all of the fifth wheels on my semi trucks smooth and get rid of all of the dips and ridges in them. I want them to look smooth like they do on real semi trucks.
