  1. Following. I have a good stash of Testors Wet Look clear but it will not last forever.
  2. I checked on how the giant ramp notches would work with a lowered car. Not so good. Even backed in didn't work because the rear bumper hits the front wall. So I just cut off the forward portion of the ramp and replaced it with scale diamond plate sheet that was reinforced. Much better now. Most cars will work except the REALLY low ones. Now onto dealing with the awkward tire rack.
  3. I am contemplating lowering the trailer tower and/or adding some Freightliner COE windows in it. Any thoughts?
  4. I use these. Real metal, hollow and to scale. What more could you ask for. Available at my LHS which sell RC planes and cars.
  5. Paused the sleeper's bath in the purple lake for a mock up. I think this is going to work.
  6. Way cool build!
  7. Following. I have each of these kits as well.
  8. Nice carb detailing. Brake lines too.
  9. Yes, build the trailer first or at least mock it up enough. The upper level overhang and the overhang of long car can be your guide.
  10. Very realistic. Job well done.
  11. You definitely have your own style. I really like the 66 Chevy.
  12. Well done. All the Cougars are classy cars.
  13. X3
  14. Just got done deflashing the ramp/box. Now that I have a 36" sleeper I am toying with the idea of using the Freightliner pieces to round off the front corners of the box. May be more work than it is worth. We shall see. Here is the pic of the sleeper Sam sent. The pic did not stick to the intended post.
  15. Thank you for sharing. All of the vendors make some nice stuff. Has Double Take ceased operations?
  16. Very nice. It is good to see big rigs get completed.
  17. Very impressive craftsmanship.
  18. WOW! Until I got to the upsidedown chassis pic, I would have sworn that was a 1:1. The fine detail is exquisite!
  19. My sentiments exactly.
  20. Very nice result. I remember building an unpainted bright yellow plastic one in the mid 70's. I was impressed that the folding top worked (at least by my then teenage standards)
  21. Nice! The light green 66 is my favorite.
  22. You could also experiment with food coloring mixed into some Future floor wax. Keep the colors separate until dry. Mix it dark in the dixie cup and apply with a brush. Do not stroke it once it starts to solidify. Clean up with water. If you want to do it over, gently remove with household ammonia.

    Very nice! I would love to have that KW in my display case.
  24. A gorgeous group of builds. Turquoise Charger is my favorite.
