74 Ford F100
Doug 1061 replied to bill lanfear's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Beautiful. My dad had one of these that same color way back when. I had a 74 F100 years ago. If it had been 4WD It would still be here. But I do still regret selling it. -
Can't forget the Vandal. This is my rendition of it. It assembles well but it needs a good bit of bodywork.

AMT Dump Trailer
Doug 1061 replied to OldTrucker's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Looks like a good start. This is not a bad kit except for the heavy flash on every part. It will look better being a tandem axle. -
Beautiful work there.

Too cool. One of the best TV shows.

Very nice. You'll be pit stop quick at foiling after that. My foil skills got much better after building a 59 Ford Skyliner.

What was your first model car?
Doug 1061 replied to Kit Karson's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Cool stories here. I cannot remember the first model car kit I butchered. About 10 years ago I did find the first model I butchered. I keep it hanging from a shelf in my hobby room as a reminder of how far I have come with this hobby. That was so long ago. -
AMT/Italeri Ford LTL9000
Doug 1061 replied to TruckerAL's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Thanks, good to know. I always avoided this kit for that reason. That and the price. I'll have to go shopping next time I have a Franklin burnin' a hole in my pocket. They look good pulling an end dump. -
AMT/Italeri Ford LTL9000
Doug 1061 replied to TruckerAL's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Well done. These Fords of that era were some of the best looking trucks ever built. I was wondering if this kit can be built as a day cab. -
That's something you don't see every day. Pretty cool. I like that chainsaw thing under the door. Would give a carjacker a rude awakening?

Way cool. The original timber sled.

Cool little tire fryer there.

Revell 1:16 1962 VW Samba bus
Doug 1061 replied to Doug 1061's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
This is a good kit. It does go together well. The worst part is getting the doors to fit, they gave it a bit of extra material on them. You just gotta take your time and test fit everything several times. I would recommend this kit. -
The latest from my bench. Bought this kit 10 or so years ago and finally got around to it. Nice kit overall, but operating doors are kinda tedious. Unfortunately I broke the hinge on the driver side door so closed it with a drop of clear enamel. It went together well for a multi piece body. Built box stock except for radio antenna. Colors are Testors light yellow enamel and Model Master classic white sprayed with my trusty Paasche VL. I am happy with how it came out overall. As always, comments/critiques welcome.

Superb job there. They are both beautiful, that black car looks sinister. No way could I build them in 2 weeks.

I built this Scout with Revell paint. I thinned it with enamel reducer an added a couple drops of hardener. It laid down nice and polishes up nice. I wouldn't say its any better than Testors, but so far this is the only body I have done. I believe their spray cans are acrylic, I have only tried the steel and aluminum in the sprays. They work well, fast dry and seems to be a durable finish. Enamels in tinlets brush well if thinned a bit.

Beautiful work. That Cobra really catches my eye.

A really good year there.

"Unsnapped" Peterbilt 359
Doug 1061 replied to TruckerAL's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Looks great. I too like the round headlights better. Square headlights on a round vehicle never looked right to me.
