Canadian Kenworth LW 900

Looks great! Where did you get the chain and sprockets? I recently put a winch on my Bullnose Kenworth race truck hauler. I used a chain and sprockets from a toy motorcycle, but wasn’t 100% happy with the results. Yours looks great! -
There’s something up with these type of sellers in Japan. I’ve noticed the same thing with guitars as well. When you check out this store just about everything is over $1000, yet they have sold over 1500 items in the past year. There’s more to the story than just simply being clueless about pricing. Maybe if Paul Harvey was still alive, he could tell us the rest of the story.

Mclean White Road Commander

Thanks Bill! Thanks! I agree that it needs an exterior post trailer. I hope that one day room will allow it. -
Amazing work here!

The “Cover Max” color max worked great although it seems to not be available anymore. Gloss Color Max doesn’t cover very well in my experience. I would recommend using the matt finish, which covers much better and then a final coat of gloss color or gloss clear. This truck was painted with Color Max (green color). It took so many coats to get it uniform, that it began to hide details. It also made the finish look thick.

Thanks Bill!! Thanks Larry!! Thanks Andrew!! Thanks JC!! Thanks Justin! I like building the old working trucks that I used to see on the road. Thanks Scott!! Thanks Steve!! My process is usually trial and error, often heavy on the error, but I was pretty happy with how this one turned out. Thanks Mark! Natural lighting goes a long way. Thanks Blake!! Thanks Trevor!! I always have an internal battle; should I leave it shiny or weather it a bit. Thanks Brian!! Thanks Tommy! I don’t know if I have perfected anything, but I am still learning. ? -
