  1. Beautiful Charles! Another excellent example of your craftsmanship! Top notch work!
  2. Thanks Ken!! Thanks Jim!! Thanks Mathias!! Thanks Mario!! I have collected so many left over parts over the years from resin conversions, I thought that I would try to keep from parting out another kit on this one. Thanks Chris!! Thanks Warren!! You know that I like Old School! Thanks Blake!! Thanks Steve!! The inspiration photo that I used had a short red single axel beaded van. When room allows, one day I hope to build a trailer of some kind. Thanks Steve! Thanks Victor!! It just has a generic AMT Cummins out of the parts bag in it. I realize that it would have had the 743 C.I.D. Cummins instead of the 855, but I didn't open the hood, so from underneath, it will pass. Technically it's curbside.
  3. Looks great! I like these old single drive cabovers!!
  4. There’s several of them around here in North Carolina.
  5. Nothing fancy, as basic as it gets.
  6. This is the Strato-models Autocar DC 75/100 kit. The frame rails were in the parts box from an old Freightliner kit. The cross members are from the parts box. The front wheels and rear tires are resin. Everything else is from the parts box. The decals are thanks to Charles Rowley.
  7. Thanks Carl!! Thanks Lee!! Thanks Mark!! Yes sir it has what is often referred to as “weed burner” exhaust. It has dual mufflers underneath with turn downs.
  8. You are truly a Craftsman! I like the Cummins! Excellent work!
  9. Your work never ceases to amaze me! It looks incredible!
  10. Thank you as well, and it looks we’re trading again.?
  11. Have made a little progress over the past few weeks.
  12. Thanks Chuck! And thanks for digging this one back up!
  13. 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!
  14. Beautiful build! Very clean! Excellent work!
  15. This is what I have thought from the beginning. I had never looked up sneakers until this thread. They must be having a clearance sale. They are only $100,000 for a pair of sneakers. ?
  16. 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.
  17. My last order from Auslowe was several years ago. It took 3 weeks to process and then I got a notice that my order was shipped. Then it too 3 weeks to arrive after shipping. The total time was 6 weeks. I wouldn’t be afraid to order again from them at all.
  18. Looks awesome! This may end up being the best Movin On model ever.
  19. Thanks Bill! Thanks! I agree that it needs an exterior post trailer. I hope that one day room will allow it.
  20. I've seen quite a few of these in the 1:1 world. You did a great job on this one!! It looks great!!
