That is a beautiful pony!!!

Looking great! Keep the updates coming!

Working on the upper house, feels good to be going forward again!!!

I use regular automotive enamels with the regular enamel reducer. I don't find the odor to be too bad, though I am VERY used to it. I use lacquer thinner to clean everything, and have never used acrylic paints. Since most of what I do is build trucks and equipment, I don't hardly ever use clear, and many times I use a flattening agent for the colors to achieve a better scale finish. I do not use hardeners. I usually use MR. Surfacer primers/fillers. I've been painting full size cars, trucks, equipment, and about every vehicle type you can think of for my whole life, and just get my paints now at the local auto parts store, in 1/2 pint sizes, and have found everything I need right there.

Finally, I AM finding more time to be at the bench. I just sold my business and retired. So, now there is time........................FINALLY!

Charlie, you never cease to amaze.....................................WELL done sir!

I'll take two!! Incredible work as always Charlie!

Absolutely beautiful work!!!!

When I completed this build, I was never happy with the forward rake of the cab. So…..finding myself with time to get to the bench after over a year away from it, first thing I addressed was to correct the rake. Am MUCH happier with it now! Having just recently retired and sold my business, I see LOTS more time at the bench in my future!

It is 1/25th. I used memory of the real thing from years ago as well as operators, parts and maintenance manuals for reference.

That came out beautifully!

Another mind blowing effort Charlie. You continue to amaze!!!!!!!

Charlie, Charlie, Charlie..............you continually come up with these builds that confirm that you are a magician! This is incredible, as usual. Keep the posts coming!

Beautifully done! Superb work and one can almost feel the waves beneath her keel!
