Looking forward to what you do here Dom, always watching guys building with resin or 3D printed bodies. Appears that is our future in modeling, lot to learn yet.

Looking forward to your test results and opinions, chrome in my book is still a hit and miss challenge.

Very cool

Really well executed Scott, well done.

Kinda, trying not to get finger prints on them is near impossible, gotta couple small smudges.

Fuel tanks done

Finishing up the fuel tanks.

Good to know

Got these on the mail today, kinda pricey but hope they help with detailing.

Well it’s a first, never seen a graffiti paint job on a model build, ttooooo cool

Nice detail work

Cool project, watching

Ya know, PE is an experience, great for dash/gages, great small details, but for that grill, that was a problem, PE windshield wipers drive me nuts as well. I think PE is good for some things but not everything.

New grill complete, little bit of cleanup, then primer.

After some careful surgery, 😂😵‍💫🤣, I was able to remove the grill and the old grill surround from the painted hood with no damage to the hood or paint. Now to see what I can create for a grill.

Gonna be a beast

This grill thing is just OVER, it’s not fitting correctly, the center bar came out again. I am starting over with a new hood, flares and redesigned grill. Hood is prepped for primer, got another set of flares flat sanded and fitted to fenders, grill will be different, I have some custom grill material that I will experiment with. Another grill in the purple pond.

Truth be known, I bet the paint job on the 1:1 bus was done with cheap house paint and a brush, I think your paint job will represent the bus extremely well.

Outstanding, can’t wait to see the finished build

Got the exhaust on, thinking about yellow lights and a test fit to make sure trailer clears fenders.

Fuel tanks next

Good progress today, headache, frames deck, rear light panel and fenders all on.

Washed in dish soap, primer twice, light sand to clean up bugers then paint and clear. Was surprised the detail came out so well. Cool part is my mirrors rotate on the aluminum rod so I can align them like a real truck where passenger side is turned in more. Silly little detail

Had to lower the bumper (about .030) in order for the hood to rotate open correctly.

Starting to get some final assembly done, rear fender next.
