I wont bash anyone here or even give my opinion (well maybe slightly) I will say that I for one am glad that MCM isnt so narrow minded as not to want to show differant forms of modelling. I once had the editor of another magazine (scale - - - - Magazine) tell me that the readers of his magazine would not be interested in the kind of models I build, to make a long story short the same model was featured here in the pages of MCM issue #154. Because MCM and its staff believe in showing good models. Not in demographics. Thx MCM
Man! I just read though the entire build and I only have one word for ya OUTSTANDING!! or maybe SUPERB!!! or how about EXCELLENT!!!! ok thats three words but your free to choose which ever one you want. I cant wait to see this done! will you make a video of it in action so we can see it ? please do. Welcome to the forums and thx for sharing this with us.
Harry , Harry, Harry...... I love it man! its a bit over my head though, YOU ARE THE MAN! excellent work on this build. Actually i didnt know you were a model builder i just thought you like to hang out around us guys and talk trash every now and then.......J/K keep up the awesome work!
Dave I HATE YOU!, No thats not true i think i love you man! hmmm. that sounds a little hokie ok lemme just say I am always impressed by your skills, Ive been gone awhile but i check out your Photobucket on a daily basis and Ive been following this build that way(i always download your photos into a special folder called dave's stuff) you have inspired me to take cnc classes and cad i also own a milling machine now and I hope to start using it soon. Thx for all the uplifting inspiration. Take care my friend. Romell
Hey basher thx for your offer I havent seen any unglued, im just gluing it onto the plastic with CA glue. I would love to get some without glue. i could use that in alot of applications in modelling. And its always my pleasure to build with you guys in mind.

LOL! I like this guy Basher! thx for the compliment my friend! hey! now im using alot of exclamation marks! i cant stop! OMG!!!!!!!!!
Ok heres my first official post in almost a year (i think) anyway let me see if i can remember how this goes. I wanted to work on something easy to get me inspired again (that failed misserably) so i started on the interior. I was gonna do it basic and simple (that never seems to happen for me) but i ended up putting woodgrain in it. here are a few pics of the start of things..... I hope you enjoy.
heres some of the materials i used.
what i did was to just make an ovelay of what was included in the kit.
now all thats left is to sand , stain and shalack.......
1st I'd like to say congrats on your wins at GLS John, 2ndly I dont care what you think of me, I still think your an Outstanding builder and this build just proves me right again. 3rd this build doesnt require you to explaine anything your work speaks for itself. Job very well done my old friend and i cant wait to see it in person. Romell
Its seems to me that everyone has something to say (me included) but not many have something positive to say. I'd like to say keep up the good work Davin and im looking forward to seeing this one underglass. its a great start to a great finish .
oh and p.s. to all the nah sayers if you have to nit pick , im sure you have some plastic of your own that will work just fine for nit picking.
ok fellas im back at it and its official !
I guess the first thing I need to do is show you where the wrecker is as of right now!
as you can see its in bad shape i have some broken parts and some missing parts , but all is not lost im gonna start by cleaning it all up and taking a good inventory of whats here and whats not. then im gonna start putting the cab interior together. ok so here are a few more pics to kinda get you up to speed. oh and sorry ive been gone so long but its good to be back!
