Scratchbuilt White 7000
DRIPTROIT 71 replied to Repstock's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
You are very welcome! I knew that you would ace this one and you did. This is by far the best looking 7000/7400 ever built in scale. You nailed the interior for sure! Excellent work as always! You are truly an artist! -
Duplicolor Clear Still Soft After 2 Months
DRIPTROIT 71 replied to Lunajammer's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
This may not be relevant to your situation, but I have had this happen on a bad resin cab before. The resin wasn’t mixed properly(you could see the swirls throughout the cab) and the paint wouldn’t dry in a couple of spots. The paint and the improperly mixed resin reacted with each other somehow and the paint just would not dry. -
These are nice quality and fast service as well. It is a little hard to see, but this one is painted with Molotow.

Great looking fleet!

This is a W900 from Jamie, it will be powered by a C-15 from Jamie as well. It will be on the Revell W900 chassis. The trailer is by Gary Wallace. I think that it was probably out of Dave Natale’s collection. I bought it off of Ebay from Anthony Natale. I have been wanting to build a frameless dump for a long time. I’m going to try to make a case for this as well, because I don’t have anywhere to put it when I am done.?

I’m taking notes! I’m putting a C-15 in my W900 project. It won’t look nearly as good as this one though. -

Excellent job on the air to air!! -
This is the cab mastered by Charles Rowley. He also did the decals. It was cast by AITM. The chassis is an extended AMT C cab Ford chassis. The engine is from the Ertl IH Scout. The box is from an AMT Louisville Short hauler.

Scratchbuilt White 7000
DRIPTROIT 71 replied to Repstock's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Very nice! I remember seeing a photo of the 1:1 truck that had that intake setup, but I don’t remember where I saw it. I may have even saved it somewhere. Details like the side louvers and the door drains are always missed. This will definitely be the best 7000/7400 in any scale ever built. These are my favorite trucks. It was the first truck that I ever rode in as a kid. It looks like you have all the resources that you need, but I do have several reference photos if you were to need any. -

Perfect! Thanks! I have been wanting a daycab Road Commander and a Emeryville 400. Everything appears to be right hand drive, but I can fix that. -

Thanks! They have a couple of cabs that I have been wanting. About how long did it take after you ordered? -
Has anyone purchased anything from this place. They seem to have a lot of good stuff at good prices. They are in Australia so shipping is a little high. I was curious about service and quality. If anyone has purchased anything from them, please let me know what you think.

Has anyone bought anything from this company. They appear to be in Australia. They seem to have a lot of resin cabs; including the 7000 White, the Emeryville, the Roadboss, the Donald Duck Emeryville conventional, etc. The prices seem very good as well, almost too good to be true. I was wondering about the quality and turn around time etc. If anyone has dealt with them, let me know.
