  1. Nicely weathered rig. I like the "repairs" on the trailer. As a suggestion, share with him the pic below to help with AMT's tires fitting to the rims.
  2. WOW that is a GORGEOUS COLOR!
  3. That is one AWESOME batch of Big Rigs. I love the shop too. It must be huge! Are the sleepers on the Pete COEs that big or did you extend them?
  4. Good to see it being saved. In checking out that intake system on the engine, I noticed it seemed to designed for air only (No fuel)
  5. Very impressive. It also appears you are not afraid to support a number of aftermarket vendors.
  6. Unique set up there. I see you got the cab to sit flat (not leaning forward). Any tricks to that?
  7. You did a stellar job on the interior. I have seen the box art a few times over the years. I didn't remember seeing the flames.
  8. That is awesome! I just started my diorama this week and had $24 worth of boxes in my shopping cart on ebay. Now I can just print the ones I want. I just have to get index card stock.
  9. I second that motion. I used it on my trailer deck.
  10. I like what you are doing. I would have built mine (someday) with all the flaws included. When my skillset eventually includes bodywork. I will use this tutorial to improve my result. Color for yours? I vote for Bright Metallic Blue.
  11. My Freightliners are nearly complete. Just slowly adding chrome bits to the cabs. Got a big head start on my FIRST EVER diorama Wednesday. Cut a bazzilion pieces from the trees and have preassembled some of them in preparation to paint. I have some wall cabinets from an Ernie Irvan race transporter that are getting modified for use in my "Day Two Garage". Removed top of back wall, converting wheel well cover to open space under the drawers. Added toe kick and cove base to make it more accurate as a work bench in a building. You cannot see them in the pic but there are actually power outlets molded into the backsplash.
  12. My first car was a '68 Malibu 307 powerglide in that color. Unfortunately I totaled it before I had it very long.
  13. Nice rescue of on one of my favorite cars.
  14. Man! That paint scheme is FRIGGIN' AWESOME!!!
  15. Thanks guys. Still plugging away on finishing up the cab. Pesky mirrors keep falling apart.
  16. Beautiful build Keith. Someday I will make a silver one like my buddy had. Any issues with the kit?
  17. Songs about toilet paper. Is it me or is it getting a little strange around here....
  18. I like them too. The Best Man at my wedding had an orange one.
  19. I like Buy it Now. I visit ebay frequently but not constantly. Sometimes a week goes by and I forget that I have bid on something that closes 5 days later. I try to avoid being a deadbeat buyer. I also have finally gotten some disposable income so I don't mind paying reasonable prices if it something I want. I used to sell from time to time but I don't need the cash vs. the hassle/robbery.
  20. Model Master "Black Chrome Trim" is has a matte finish and good coverage. Testors silver was a favorite until I discovered BMF and Molotow. I also recommend getting the biggest variety pack of ULTRA fine point Sharpies. They work great for touch ups, detailing and marking cut lines.
  21. Pretty color on my favorite year Mustang. Great job.
  22. Interesting build. Following.
