Bad link Irvin...needs the JPG at the end not a HTML..I think.....

Tims resale statement is very true , KW ,Pete ,DAF and FODEN under the PACCAR logo leases high dollar trucks at the same price other companies do leasing NAVs and Freightliners,[get lease dollars - get resale dollars ]Daimler-Benz has WesterStar , Freightliner, Sterling, Oshkosh , American Lafrance , Unimog and with Volvo taking up Mack, seems like no matter what you buy sometimes the money goes to 1 of 4 companies. It also seems true Navistar gets a big share of Fed & Gov't bucks along with Custom Chassis and again Custom is under Benz.........Freightliner has a neat history. http://www.freightliner.com/inside/our-history.aspx

Any time I use laquers I primer first to avoid crazing the plastic , I've mixed Dupli-color clear over Testors laquer system . Tamiya seems "hotter" to me so I always primer , and if I start out Tamiya I stay all Tamiya . Some paints like Krylon "Fusion" tend to leave dull spots sometimes making polishing a must . My first choice is always Dupli-color sandable primer , if detail is light I'll decant and thin more and run it thru a gun. I"ve heard some rumblings on this newer plastic crazing but havent run into this problem myself......

Thats a sharp lookin' color on that one...

Very real lookin rust.. Dave is the rust from one of those antiquing kits or your own ?,,,,,,,,,,, super job.

Very cool Billy , you captured the"Fireball" machine like it was ready to run on Sunday..........

Work is super busy but I'm staying on this all day today, I'm trying for all paint done this week. Interior just about done. weathered the floor wood , now it makes the walls to bright, need some light grime to tone it down some

The "green ash" is one sharp color , Ford custom as a 'rat' or car club car is a great choice........Pontiac wide whites w/ the white roof ,great color combo, ...all look pretty cool..

Ahhh yes, I was going through a decal book at a hobby shop I always stop at when I'm in Oklahoma , and Scale Motorsport offers many styles and carbon fiber sheets , good stuff . I'll be lookin' for the finnished interior pics on your Buick ..

The seat pattern your using , is that a decal or computer generated ? That is gonna look great with your exterior color...

Thats pretty cool...the Ghia has just enough paint fade and minor grime to show it sat at the beach and be believable ...nice

Its even uglier in person...thanks for the heads up on American Industrial , 9500 GMC resin kit is super looking...............

Took me awhile to get back to where it all started on this Forum , earlier this year I hosted some pics for a Juha build its an awesome Riv/boatailhttp://public.fotki.com/bigtruck199/juha_airio_build/ The under hood detail is just got to be seen .

Snapped this one in Mississippi @Flying J earlier this year :2070A or Henrickson H-3 , cabs are the same on both , did any resin come out on 2070 or the H-3.........

Thats a great tip KT , are the folds hard to get rid of , and 'welcome'.

WOW ,that is smokin' hot ....not enough "O"s in smooth..

Looks pretty cool Len , are those wheels from a modified kit or another offering , oh yeah "welcome".

On the last issue I got it claims a bored out 500 Olds...

I like those older Indy cars alot , yours is truly a good looking build...

Not posting could result some additions to your permanent record.........

Thats pretty cool , I like the look and colors are smooth, mine started out kind of on those lines with a tilt bed top , spinners and such but other demon ideas hit me....

Decided to just cover it all in balsa , I always wanted to do this inside a big rig trailer , it works pretty good

Huge undertaking on that one , Bill is so right that door opening area is a scary cut , super work..

Keeping the color theme thru-out the trailer starting with the frame. The walls would be pretty much cut/dry but on a kit this size there are numerous ejector marks , using some 1/2 inch wood rub rails to cover a few on the lower walls the rest will have to be filled in , I wanted the roof to be removable , we'll see , there are about 42 to fill in not including the roof . I noticed John from Can-Am Garage did something to his walls maybe he could elaborate.

Wow another new way to look at the VW pickup ,great idea , very cool .That engine looks fantastic..
