This is a very inspiring build.Keep the progress coming.

Great looking build.

kc7wzl, yes I did seal the tape after I masked it. But it and the krylon didn't get along. So the hood and box are back in the pond for a week.The cab faired a little better. As you can see there are some various size paint blowouts. But I can fix these.Once those are fixed I can start on the stripes with gel pens. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy.

Thanx I appreciate that.

Thanx I appreciate that.

Thanx I appreciate that. There is suppoed to be a conversion kit but I could not find one.

Thanx fellas I appreciate that.

Started to repaint this build today. The hood and cab need one more color added.The box still has two more colors to go. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy

Just need to clear the frame again. Sprayed the metal cast red and Testors one shot clear on the notch cover. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy

Decide to go a different route with the grille. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy

Managed to remask the truck again over the last few days. I hope to start laying down the other colors in the next few days. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy

Got the basecoat layed down again. Start to lay the graphics out again next week. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy

Got a little more done. The frame is now painted.Just need to touch up a few spots then clear it. Should have the frame assembled by next weekend. Got the rear notch cover graphics done.Just need to put the red and clear on it. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy.

Build a few more pieces for this build. I build a rear notch cover It will be painted silver the I will use gel pens to turn them in to playing cards(aces and eights) and spray metal-cast red on top of that. I will be in the paint booth tomorrow hopefully respraying the bed on my long box build and the frame on this build. I also built a license plate holder. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy

I thinking this build might see the paint booth in the near future. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy

Everything was out of the pond lastnight. The cab and hood will need some minor sand after this round of primer.The box didn't fair so well after coning out of the pond as I thought. It needs a lot of work. So back to the bench I go. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy

Thanx for the compliments fellas and the suggestions as well.I am going to slow way down on this paintjob this round. I had a a chance to pick Dr. Cranky's brain on painting.I found out I didn't let the pink cure long enough before laying the tape and spraying the next color. As for cutting the tape on the model I have never done that,I bought a hobby cutting sheet that I use to cut my masking tape.I also agree with burnishing the edges of the tape,I thought I had got it really well but the blow out prove I didn't get it well enough.

Thanx I appreciate that.

Well 2 out of 3 pieces are out of the pond.The cab should be out by Monday.Just need to wetsand them all down then it is round two in the paintbooth. Hopefully I will own this paintjob this time and it won't own me. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy
