  1. Thanks for the kind words everyone!
  2. I'm finding that you have to add about 10% of their thinner and keep the pressure up. I always use a screen in the paint bottle which helps lower the clumping factor.
  3. Doesn't really look long enough to hold a casket without it hanging out the back.
  4. Thanks for the kind words, everyone. I think the next build will be the 66 Chevy Panel Delivery using the same base kit with the Jimmy Flintstone panel body. I'm contemplating paint choices, will have to do some test sprays to see if my idea will work.
  5. looks good, I like the color!
  6. Build this out of box, tried a new paint. Testor's Aztek acrylics. Colors are white pearl over copper pearl. This was my first time spraying pearl so it was a learning experience to say the least. Body spent some time in the purple pond...... Copper is a little brighter and has more pop than I can get in a photo.
  7. Looks good, I used to see them around all the time.
  8. This is very true. When I started the IH, I was planning on scratch building the dumpbody. Thank goodness there is so much available these days and that I've learned a lot over the years that makes the builds better. If I had finished the IH in the 80's it would need to be re-done now or just thrown in the trash.
  9. Yep, not sure how "normal" it is, but you're not alone! Started this IH plow in the 80's, finished it last fall. Started 1/48 scale GulfCraft boat (all scratch) in 2004, not much more than the hull done.
  10. It's pretty big. I used one on my International Plow truck build. I narrowed it about 1/4" to better fit the look.
  11. Great project, will be following the progress.
  12. Dave is top notch as are his products. If you do encounter a problem, he'll make it right. He always answers questions including those about part fit or locations if not crystal clear in the instructions. Some items have been OOS for a while, I think he spends more time casting than updating the site. If he said he'll have something in a day or two, I'd go by that over what shows on the site. Most of us here have numerous projects in the queue so a few weeks/months to get something isn't a big deal.
  13. Sweet! That looks great!
  14. No problem, lots going on here and I know I can't keep up with everything.
  15. I always liked those Scouts, didn't like the way the rear sat on the ground though.
  16. I did my own, I described the process in the build thread, second from the bottom:
  17. Biggest thing is more light and at a lower angle, especially in the front.
  18. Thanks to everyone for taking the time to make all the kind comments! It was a fun build and fits in with my out of the ordinary tastes. BTW, I really loved their Apple Strudel and wish it was still available.
  19. Looks more like it's been sitting in the field!
