  1. Found a small wrecker body on the auction site and found the Mobius ramp truck to be a good donor. Frame will need to be shortened, but that's about all. The frame is warped, so it's being straightened before I cut it down. Otherwise, my first Mobius kit is going together well. Of course, one day after I start Mobius announces almost the same thing coming in a kit. The wrecker body was supposedly made for an 8' p/u but it looks too wide to me. The F350 cab looks to be just the right size.
  2. Something about this kit that I never liked the look of. Your take on it fixed it, I like what you've done. The proportions look better and the smooth side box is a big improvement over the kit. Well done.
  3. Excellent as usual! I can almost smell that old Army canvas....
  4. That's a really nice old school A-Car!
  5. Always seems to happen to me, I finish something and then see all the things that are wrong. You'll just have to do like I do, make another one!
  6. If I had known last year what I now know, I would have "stocked up" on certain things but my problem is that I see something cool at a truck show and want to model it. Unless I had a stash of several copies of everything available, I'm stuck. I don't think I could afford a stash like that. As it is, I'm sure I've got more kits and projects than I'll live to see completed.
  7. Not that I've seen or heard. Hopefully someone will reach an agreement with Dave's family.
  8. Nice job, that orange looks familiar!
  9. I'd say you have adapted your modelling skills to big rigs very well so far.
  10. That's a nice looking casting. Did you open the doors or did it come with them cast seperately?
  11. Looks great, what did you use for the metallic look on the bumper, exhaust etc?
  12. Good job on the roof. I wouldn't worry about the plastic ribs, they should stay attached to the roof.
  13. I wouldn't know it was resin if you didn't say it was. Great look! Is that the AITM battery box/airtank? I've been looking for a bunch of them.....
  14. Looks good, nice, clean build.
  15. Thanks folks, one of these days I'm going to try new photos that show the colors more accurately.
  16. Nice job, I like your take on weathering
  17. Is this the recent resin release? Looks good, I've been looking to do a White COE Eagle but can't come close to a donor cab.
  18. No, I've been stalled out on the decals. I can't seem to find a good enough photo to use. A while ago, Jerry at Model Truckin said he was getting close but I haven't seen anything.
  19. I remember the window exits were in front of the rear wheels or about half way between the front door and rear emergency door.
