That looks great for a parts box rig!!

I absolutely love it!! I have one of these trailer kits in the garage and maybe I will try my hand at this. Great job!!!

Went to the LHS HobbytownUSA and saw the boat club there, don't remember what the name was (Tito help me out here). Went there mainly so the wife could meet Tito, but the lazy bum wasn't at work yet. Anyway, the wife entered both kids in the contest to win a giftcard and my oldest won. He got a Chuggington Train and another for his sister. Isn't he a good brother!

Looks awesome Mike, I just want to know how my wife's hair got into your engine compartment???? :lol:

I've got an update, but no pictures. Got the trailer painted and the wood planks painted (that was tedious). now I have to finish putting it together and do some detail painting

Getting older sucks!! I am only 27 and have many aches and pains! Thankfully no surgery has been done, at least on my joints, anyway. Hope everything works out for ya G.

Like many have said, search for hobby stores in your area on the internet, or just go and buy the for sale signs at the store.

Not using the coils. The shelter I am build weighs almost 14k not to mention the add on equipment packed in another container.

Ok, got a question for you truck drivers, where do you put the heaviest of your load on a flatbed? On the front or the back? Started on this yesterday. Not too much detail as this will not be the focal point of this set. I was originally going to paint it Italian Red, then I found out I don't have any... So it is going to be Huggar Orange, with the wood grain painted of course a wood color. Now for the bread and butter. I have the best thing for this. One I can actually measure and sketch. Now I can't take pictures of it. I will have progress shots of it soon.

I like the Model Master Lacquer paints. Been using them ever since my good friend Raul Perez sent me some a few years ago. I use Krylon as well and the One Coat.

Awesome job!!!

Looks good to me Raul, will it fit under the hood?

Rob, I am glad you were able to get that paint off. Where did you get the alcohol from?

Sure did, I will take some pics of it soon, hopefully I can get my plans drawn up for my build soon. The truck will have to be a later time.

Thanks Raul, it feels good to be back at it, hopefully the weather will clear up so I can finish painting it, all that's left is the body.

Nice meeting you today Tito! Will definitely take you up on that offer.

But E-vanti.

See you guys tomorrw!!! I will be the one with two hyper kids!!

I will try. If I do I will let you know.

I need to go there and see these guys and talk to them. I might go there today.

Thanks Mike, I hope to have more paint slung tonight. Been awhile since I worked with enamel.

NO!!! There will be no blue in this truck!!!!

Well, I found an Orange I havent used yet. Sunburst Orange by Boyd. Will have to do a few more coats on everything.

Great job Mike.

Try a little paint thinner on a Qtip.
