DRIPTROIT 71

Thanks guys!

Thanks again Charles!! Thanks!!

Thanks!!

Thanks, but it was kind of an experiment. It is a red oxide primer base, with flat black and red oxide lightly fogged from a distance to give a "dry spray" look. I think that I added a little chalk too.

Looks like the real thing! Excellent work as always!!

Amazing! Great photo skills too!

Your builds are amazing!! Extremely realistic!! Great work!!

I really like what you have so far! Where did you get your fuel stickers?

You're not alone in the ability to mess up a paint job. I've messed up my share too.

Thanks Bill! I stopped building models about 18 years ago and started restoring tractors. I soon found out that model building was closer to my price range. I'm still kind of a tractor nut though. Thanks again Mark! I have a couple of 6-71 projects planned myself. Thanks Mark!! Thanks Jeff! It's retired to the case now.

Great looking Peterbilt Ken!!

I like the color! Looking forward to more!

Thanks! I almost hated to cut it as expensive as those kits have gotten, but I'm glad that I did. Thanks Mark! I considered building a Duel truck in the future, but maybe with a different take. Maybe the way it looked new.

I like it!!

Great looking Bigfoot!!

Excellent work!! Very clean! I like the color!! It looks like you really captured the original!

Did you post your photos as private, because when I look at your Flickr page, nothing shows. That may be the problem.

It took me more than a few minutes.

Thanks Chris!! Thanks so much Dan! Thanks Pat! I modeled my compressor on this one after yours on your GM V-12. Thanks Jim! I had to narrow it a bit, but even before even before it was narrowed, it just looked the part to me. Thanks!! It was mostly left over parts except for the 50 Ford specific parts. Thanks Ken!! Thanks Dave!!

1. Click on your photo on Flickr 2. At the bottom right of the screen there is an arrow that points to the right. Click on it. 3. A small block will pop up. Choose BBC Code. Right click it and choose "copy." 4. Open a separate page with the Model Car Forum thread that you want to post a picture on. In the text area, right click and choose "paste." 5. You will only see code until you click "submit." Then your photo should appear. Flickr is what I use and it seems to work good for me.

I just went through this whole thread again. Wow! These are some awesome cabovers! Great work! I thought that I'd add a few of my latest as well: Mack H-63 1/25th scale model by Brian Smith, on Flickr 7400 White by Brian Smith, on Flickr IMG_3112 by Brian Smith, on Flickr International Highbinder by Brian Smith, on Flickr IMG_E7577 by Brian Smith, on Flickr IMG_1322 by Brian Smith, on Flickr

Thanks! I've been wanting these specs for a long time now.

Looks good! I like your sleeper idea!
