  1. Engine looks great Jeff! Admit it, it's an original engine projected onto your workbench! ?
  2. That's gonna be another beauty!
  3. Air con looks awesome! I also Like the sun visor! Great job Steve!
  4. Looks good Ron! I could change the headlight surrounds a bit so they don't extend so far. Just tell me! Keep going with the great work!
  5. Nice job! ? Thanks for the description!
  6. Absolutely! How did you cut the cab so precisely? Nice job! The long chassis looks great.
  7. Jeff was faster! Yes, my Pacemaker kit came with both dashes too, no idea why! But I wouldn't have known the part no. anymore! Can't wait to see more of this Ron!
  8. Oh yes, I agree! It's like in a good restaurant. Variations of cabover, presented in top quality!
  9. No problem Jeff! Thanks for the pics! Maybe I'll make a new one sometime!
  10. Looks pretty good to me! The decals seem to adhere pretty well! (I don´t know how to delete these emojis either. Once it´s in there, you can´t get it out!)
  11. HI everyone, since I don´t have any space at the moment to build a completely new truck model I decided to rework this one: Not long ago I had built this Pete with a scratch camper box from this Revell easy to build kit: This was the reference picture: To tell the truth I was never really satisfied with it and thought that this nice truck deserves something more worthy. So I removed the camper box and decided to make something new! I´m printing a sleeper for it at the moment since I had used the original sleeper for my Diamond Reo Conventional! When that´s finished I´ll make a tanker out of it. It´s already designed and I hope it turns out good. I´ve changed the nozzle of my printer from a 0.4 to a 0.2mm and hope that the printing lines will be reduced a bit. At the moment the truck looks like this: It´s a bit dusty but I can fix that in no time. The printing will take quite a while since the printing speed is reduced by 50%. Gives me time to do some cosmetics!
  12. One of the nicest I've ever seen! Great job!
  13. What an awesome looking truck Steve! Again you made a jewel out of a stone!
  14. Thanks Gary! That's something we can all see in your builds! Top notch all the way!
  15. Thanks very much Ron! But believing that yours might turn out only half as good is pure understatement! What you do is fantastic and your knowledge of trucks is far beyond mine! That's why I very much appreciate your words. I didn't think it was that realistic and accurate but If a pro like you says that, I'm willing to believe it! ? Honestly, I never thought it would turn out accurate. I took measure from my Pacemaker for the cab and the rest was my "standard" chassis and engine.
  16. Thanks very much everyone! I actually will have to take a break since I don't have anymore space to put my models! I'll have to finally begin the show case. But I'll keep watching your builds of course!
  17. Made some pics to compare my printed 352 with my Pacemaker! As you can see, the Pacemaker Chassis has a slight twist to the left!
  18. Thanks very much Jeff! Nice of you to say that! The engineering part is, to me, the most exciting part. Of course it's fun to print and build and see how it turns out but drawing it all and putting it together virtually is just great fun! Here are some pics of the 3D drawings:
  19. Thanks Jeff! Glad you enjoy it! It was fun to build and something you don't see everyday!
  20. Hi Folks, my newest project has come to an end! The color scheme was my idea but the Globe brewery really existed, maybe still exists and the ads on the trailer are original Arrow Beer ads from the early 1960s. That's one of the reasons I chose the 352 Pete, since this was one of the versions it was built in back then! Hope you enjoy it! Most of it is self designed and printed. Parts not printed are: tires, mirror frames, air lines, fuel tank steps and quarter fenders!
  21. That should be it! Guess it's finished! I'll put it in Under Glass shortly!
  22. Found one, but not in color! Maybe a challenge for a new build!
  23. Thanks Gary! I wanted it to be at least a little bit authentic. I actually have no idea what the real trucks looked like!
