I needed something simple to build, so it was the Z8 curbside, Tamiya metalic blue and clear coat from the can, only the interior was airbrushed testors tan and a sprinkle of flocking..done.

Very cool Mustang and the colors are fantastic! Makes me want to go and build a Mustang right now.

I have 3 of the 4 tractors I am only missing the Massey Fergeson tractor, keep missing out on them!

Well, after 1 week and 20+ trys I got one wheel made, some of the wires are little croked, but I get 5 more trys! The front The back In using the jig, I found it better to not use the little button they give to act a stop, it hinered the roatation. But as long as you follow keep the wire along the contour of the jig and skip every other slot on the first pass, it should work, you fill in the empty slots on the second pass around. And the REAL key is to keep the wire kink free and as tight as possible, that will give you the straight spokes. JR

This is my John Deere loader built from the kit released a while ago from AMT, I got it and the farm tractor from my local John Deere dealer. The trailer is completely scratchbuilt from the plans that were published in a old issue of Scale Auto, the onlt thing not made were the tires from SATCO and chains. It has not been weathered and I still need to build a dump truck to pull it, which I will probably use the AMT Ford snow plow dump truck?? Also just finished the farm tractor For this one I am watching a well known auction site for the farm plow to pull behind it, they are few and far between!! JR

Absolutely amazing paint! I'm happy to just get the paint on without a dust speck!! JR

I won another Entex kit, the Rolls Royce Ballon car and it too has wire wheels that you have to make, these instructions look a bit clearer to me, so I will give it another try today. I will post the results... Jerry

Skip, thanks for the link to the built up model, it is an exceptional model, and those wire wheel will look great if I can get them built! I will continue to try and figuure out how to wind the wheel, and if I hit upon a solution I will be sure to share it. I gave up for the weekend, no sense bing cranky for Mothers Day So I glued the engine block together as a small victory. JR

I won this kit on ebay and figured I start with the wire wheels since there are 6 of them to make and you have to wind your own! I been working on them for 2 days and still do not have one built, the instructions are not clear to me on how to use the jig to wind the wire corectly. Has anyone built this kit or can offer tips on how wind hte wheels correctly with the jig? I tried Google searches and came up blank so far. Thanks Jerry

Greetings to all, I joined this forum a month ago and I am just getting around to posting. I need to re-align my priorities...too much work and not enough modeling. Jerry
