  1. x2 He said: "This old Mack will put em all to shame." I always pictured an H-Model, but that is just my creative take on it.
  2. I for one, think that you have done a great job! Looking forward to seeing them on the finished product!
  3. Very nice builds indeed!! I really like the Louisville!! If you don't mind, could you tell how you did the grill. It is about the best one that I've seen. I'm wanting to start one myself. I've already gotten the tanks, but was debating on what to do about the grill. Great work!! I like the faint lettering on the trailer by the way!
  4. This is the coolest version of this kit that I've seen yet!! Excellent work!!!
  5. Looking great!! If you need another decal, send me a PM.
  6. Thanks for the encouragement Rich and Gator! I had been debating with myself whether to go with carpet or rubber mat or something else. Since the passenger seat actually sits on top of the dog house, I didn't want to go with vinyl or leather. I have seen hardwood in a few trucks and liked it. The wood is made by K L MiniSports. I bought it from Dan's Models Plus (dans572012) on Ebay. It was $12.95 for an 8.5 x 11 sheet. The wood doesn't completely cover the sheet. It is pretty heavy paper and it is peel and stick. It was designed to be used as trailer floors. I have used veneer before, but for me it is harder to make it look realistic, like individual planks, even after adding lines to it. It looks more like plywood. Thanks Gino, Sam and Rob for all the encouraging words!
  7. Nice looking Louisville! Great Work!!
  8. Thanks; Gino, Sam, Dennis and Michael!! Decided to work on the interior some today. Went with a hard wood floor board instead of carpet.

  15. I like the paint job on this one. Reminds me of an old Mayflower truck. Great work!

  17. G.W. Trucks also makes frame rails for AMT kits. That is what I used on my Mack. I picked mine up from Sourkraut's. He still has some in stock.
  18. Very nice looking Ford!!! Great work!!!
  19. Very Nice Work!! The details are awesome!!!
  20. It's pretty skinny like the long Road Boss tank. According to the tank calculator that I found on the net it's only about 130 gallons.
