  1. By the way, the 'dust' is Just plain baby powder! That works best! Sticks when it's supposed to and ist cleaned away easily! The wiper marks were Made with a peace of soft cardboard Cut to the lenght of the wipers and then swiped over the powder. Works every time! and I added steering. Looks better! ?
  2. Thanks! I'm glad you like it! The trailer ist a Revell kit. I just added the third axle. As I heard from the Carlile team, I've been in contact with them, the trailers become quite heavy and since they're offen longer than the standard 40' trailers they would break down with full load. This is it. Oh yes, I changed the tires of the trailer according to the ones in the tractor. Thought it might look better! That way the trailer looks eben larger!
  3. Hi, I'd like to show you my Kenworth Alaskan Hauler. I built it mid 80's and it survived several moves. Hope you like it! The Carlile team loved it.
  4. Hey everyone, I guess that was quite a bad start and I believe I owe all of you a big appology! I was so overwhelmed by all your modelling activities and didn't think at all it seems! I hope you'll all give me a second chance which I won't disappoint! I'ts up to you of course! Sorry again! Jürgen!
  5. Hi, my problem is that I can't seem to reduce pics to the size of 240kb in order to upload a profile pic. I'm probably too stupid so If anyone can give me a hint how to do that I'd be happy! I already tried by reducing the resolution of my mobile cam but that wasn't enough!
  6. Very nice! I've got only one K100, the VIT from Revell! Built it 1986. Even won a contest with it that time! Here's some pics:
  7. Awesome! I'm looking forward to seeing it completed!
  8. Hey everyone, it's me again! I just wanted to share a very special truck: An Australian road train! It's the White Western Star from Italeri in 1/24 scale! Hooked up are two Wilson live stock vans and a selfmade lumber flatbed! I built that one about a year ago! I'd love to see If anyone else did a road train. I'm always interested in new ideas!
  9. Here are a few customized models: An International S-Series and a Peterbilt 359:
  10. I like that kit too. It's actually one of my favorites and I've got 24 trucks all together! Here are some pics of mine:
  11. Great!! Thanks very much! I'll contact them! ?
  12. Hey everyone, I'm not sure if you guys are fond of rebuilds. What I'm talking about is rebuilding truck models or changing their appearance after years. I ha a couple of truck models I didn't like anymore after I had seen them on the shelf for about 30 to 40 years. About a year ago I began rebuilding one after the other! Some I just repainted, Others I changed completely! I'd love to see some of your rebuilds or customized models. Here are some of mine! Hope you enjoy them! A DAF 3300 (blue ist new), a KW W925 (silver old, white new), a Freightliner FLC (white old, brown/black new).
  13. Actually the 4070A (amt no. 1203/06 has got a perfect surface quality! I had no reason to complain! The whole kit was really fun to build compared to most other amt kits! The Peterbilt 352 COE for example was a catastrophe concerning parts and surface quality!
  14. Nice truck! I'll be watching too! I'm looking for a White Road Commander! Anyone know where I can get one? 3D printer or so? Only need the cab and interior! Still got a Box full of parts to complete it! Thanks for any hints!
  15. Nice stuff! Actually I'm looking for a cab with interior of a White Road Commander! Got anything in that direction?
  16. Absolutely! Happy you think so too!
  17. Anyone ever built the Marmon Conventional by Revell? I guess everyone can See that it's Just a Peterbilt with a Marmon radiatorgrill! I changed that by using fenders of a White Western Star! Since I didn't need the hood when I built the Brockway I thought it might look pretty good and more authentic than the standard kit. Still has the PB cabin but better than before! Hope you like it!
  18. I'm amazed to see that the Alaskan hauler ist so popular! Till a few days ago I was convinced that IT never really existed as a real truck until I actually found pics of a few in the www. IT never shows up in any historical documentaries about KW. Anyway, I've got Mine since about 1985 or so. Posted some pics!
  19. Hey everyone! I wanted to share my Brockway since it's made of a White Western Star. Actually I used only the frame with engine and wheels and the cab. The front part including fenders, radiator grill, hood and bumper were Made from scratch using polystyrol sheet. I know it's far from perfect but I think the First Impression ist quite good! The flatbed was made of a 40ft. reefer since the flatbed modelkit I wanted wasn't available! Anyway, I hope you like it! Greetings from Germany!
  20. Nice work! The numbers on the side of the radiator are 4 2, the 4 being above the 2. Are the cab, hood and radiator from a 3D printer?
