The Same but “ a little “ Different
BK9300 replied to Biggu's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Jeff, that's quite the trick with tooth paste as an abrasive - it sure seems to work. Will definitely make touch ups less of an issue. I admire you and Ron for doing two tone paint jobs - a single colour can sometimes be a handful for me, never mind two! -

Yes - suspenseful! -
Mid 60s Peterbilt Unilite COE

I've had bleed through when taping on a flat surface, so I can imagine how difficult to get a good seal when masking across rivets and along drip rails. Like Steve said, you're sounding very patient - hope your repairs go well. -

1984 GMC General “Autumn Almond”
BK9300 replied to Pete68's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Very clean build, Lee - will be good looking addition to any display area! -
That must be very frustrating - any idea why the paint didn't stick to the primer?

Resto Rod Autocar
BK9300 replied to Gary Chastain's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Funny, when you said 'Resto rod .. with modern turbo engine', I first thought about the Tyrone Malone 1,200 hp, dual turbo Detroit Diesel! I guess that would be way too much for a daily driver -

It’s amazing what’s available out there these days - I couldn’t find an Airliner suspension in Feb/23 when I started looking for parts. I wonder if it’s available in 1/24. What type of engine have you settled on? Will be quite the build! -

Astonishing handiwork - just a marvel to check in on from time to time and incredible detail to go over each time -
I agree with you, Donald - magnifying desk lamp is indispensable for me too! The rivets look great.

The hood seams look great and the primer sure ties it all together, and it is good to see an update on your build! -

BK9300 replied to Gary Chastain's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Hi Gary - never used these rivets before. Can they be applied over primer or do they need to be applied over a clear coat like regular decals? In any event, lots of fiddly placement ahead of you and going to look great! -

Going to be a fine looking truck, Lee - like the clean line at your colour change - hard to do! -

Great stuff, Charles - I note the cotter pins in the bolts holding the sheaves in place! -
don't cha wish we had a kit of this cool Kenworth....
BK9300 replied to tim boyd's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
The truck above might not be available as a 3D model yet, but someone could make one. Check out Bren's post of a similar truck he printed, 'Volvo VNL860 - new 3D print' in "Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D printed" forum, from a modeler on Cults -
