Very nice and cool project. You cannot help but love these old trucks. Simply amazing build. ??

Pretty clean work and the end result is super.

Nice job. It looks cool ?

?? now I know. ?

?? Will do sir. Thank you.

Completely amazing build. Makes me want to pull my kit out of the storage and start building it. Btw, is that kit engine? ?

Pardon my ignorance, but what does COE stands for?

Hey Mike, Yes, I understand his work is quite a bit scratch build but I was thinking I might be able to do part scratchbuilding and part kitbashing. His work is truly marvelous and pleasure to see. So, I’m slowely going through this forum and finding his builds. It’s a slow process but well worth the time ?

Cool build Charles. Larry, can these Cabs be still purchase? I like to do similar to what Charle’s did above. Of course, i’ll need to figure out what kit to use it with. So, let me know sir! TIA Mike

This turned out great Charles. Glad you made this conversion. I’ll be grabbing one for sure to use it for fire truck.

Nice, I really like that GMC truck. Sure is different. Good job all around ? Mike

Nice start. I was eyeballing this kit few days ago. May I ask, is this 2 n 1 really has 2 complete kits or just option to do 1 or the other? TIA Mike

Oh man, photo bucket sucks. It’s taken away all the old photo through out the modeling forums. So, you gonna light this big boy up? Cool beans, hopefully new photos will be viewable soon.

Thanks for the item number and your right it sure it OOP and fetching a good price on fleebay.

Nice, I have the same kit to build in future. It would be nice if the reissue the trailer for it.

I know, i’m Digging up the old thread but it’s worth diggin’ as this looks awesome. Great job sir! Mike

Hello Jaroslav, Thank you for sharing those photos and tips. I was not thinking about aluminum and stainless steel with chrome. Those too are elements found on big trucks and fire trucks. I need to learn all I can about polishing paints and these elements. Most my modeling has been done building armor or jets and you don’t see much of these polished. Btw, I wanted to complement you on the hoses. You are right about shoe laces being not looking right. Your solution seems much better to my eye.?? May I ask, what kit number was this Peterbilt fire truck? TIA Mike

Now that turned out spectacular. I need to research which RoG kit this is as I wouldn’t mind adding one to my collection. Also, i’ll have to grab Molotow Chrome paint as it matches the kit chrome well. I’m new to car models as i’ve never needed to paint chrome to fighter jets. ? Anyway, great work all around. ??

Great subject choice and one that I would love to add to my collection but i’m Not sure I can pull it off. Not that skilled full with scratchbuilfing without having actual measurements. Your doing great and a must follow ?? Mike

Just checking in on here. It's been a while since this new forum doesn't want to work with m iPad. How is this big rig coming along Ken? Any new updates for us brother? Mike

That is a very cool looking truck. I will sure to follow this build along if there will be updates. So, are there any? It's almost an year old thread now.

sjordan2, I'm with you on that with my iPad. Its to bad, as it will limit my activity here since I'm not on my desktop often.

Man, that looks awesome. Looks like your getting close to the finish line. Mike

Nice work with the new look, but for some reason my iPad doesn't like it. I can view threads, but I can't reply or respond to messages. Older version was working fine, but need help to figure out the bugs with the new system. I'm using my desktop to post at the moment, so any help or advice will be appreciated as I like to interact with folks here. TIA. Mike

Great work buddy. This thing is looking awesome by the minute. I'm blown by the size of it, I know its a big model to begin with but with your conversion it even bigger and that's cool. Mike
