  1. Hey fellas this is my first Semi since i was a kid the plans are to build a heavy hauler with full working lights and full details. Im starting with the Revelle of Germanys Peterbuild Wrecker, Im a Kenworth man so I bought a T-800 cab and hood conversion this will give me a more modern truck and will require me to move the front suspension back 7 scale inches(or 7mm). This will be a multimedia build I will do some modifing and some scratch building, I have also purchased some products to enhance the out come. Anyway Nuff said enjoy the pics. I started with this.... im outta my realm with this one so this will be the first time in 20 years that ive used the instructions (good this to cause the instruction book is 35 pages long).... here you see the cab that comes with the kit, and the resin cab and hood I purchased..... some of the goodie I bought.... Here I have the front suspension moved back 7 scale inches Man! look at how long this frame is... This is the bracket that holds the power steering unit I had to remove it from another frame to replace the one I had to destory when moving the suspension back.
  2. John my brotha i am sooo impressed with your building skills, truely you are a man without limits. outstanding Man! and yes im interested
  3. Hello friends I need someone who can take my design and enhance it and make decals for an upcomming build. If you have the skills to do this( and I dont mean you just picked up the latest Testers Decal Maker and want to give it a try) I need someone with real skillz and has made quility decals before. this wont be a one time deal but I will use you exclusively. PM me and let me know what your rates are . If they are resonable we'll be working closely together to make this happen.

  7. MAN! I cant believe i didnt comment on this (sorry bro) but Im still in awe of your ablitiy to capture in 1/12 scale what is already a piece of art, And make that art your own. If you guys havent seen this one in person then your not seeing the whole picture. Pictures dont do this build justice. OUTSTANDING WORK JOHN!!!!!! Bravo!!!
  8. Me x3.....
  9. Criticism??? Someone would have to be outta thier mind to critizise your work its outstanding! Oh yeah welcome aboard and please keep the post comming.
  10. Davin this is turning out so sweet ..... And dont worrie about someone tryin to tell you what you have, I have the 49' Iroks on my Ford F350 and people tried to say they werent , but i knew what i bought and if you say there 50' crawlers then goshdarnit thats what they are!
  11. Hey Thx matt but like I said I havnt drawn in years, wish I could get back into the habit of it.
  12. Thank you so much for your tutorial on making bricks Im going out this weekend and getting the materials i need to get started. I always wanted to make a garage scene, This dio is the level of work that i strive to make. Keep up the outstading work!
  13. Ya know I have to be honest here.....This is the weirdest little van Ive seen as a model .....But I love it! It's differant and i really dig the sound system. I'd drive this baby during rush hour here in downtown L.A. and see how many Lawyers i can spear while listening to "Stright outta compton" by N.W.A. LOL! Keep up the good work my friend!
  14. Dang Dave i like your thought processes I was thinking some of the same stuff, this would look really Kool as a restore in progress. Like someone just bought it after finding it in an old barn. Good stuff here in any respect I like it! Keep up the good work.
  15. You never cease to amaze me jeff your builds are always emaculate (even without paint) and im with dave send it to me (the mustang or the camaro)if youre not gonna finish it. Just kidding ofcourse but get her done Bro.
  16. Thats Sick Manny And I want to say his 572 motor is a really nice kit, I know cause I have one.
  17. The way I see it, it IS a lowrider its got hydrolic pumps in the trunk, Altho that huge motor is goona put a heck of a strain on the pumps. Nice job on your build and keep up the good work.
  18. Came out nice, but next time dont use TP as it is designed to disentigrate with water, thats why it shrank on the edges. Instead use facial tissue. and you can even wet it and spread white glue on it and lay it on your model and shape it. Let it dry over nite and it will be hard like plastic. Keep up the good work!
  19. Just pack it up and send it to me now I'll take it just like it is.....looking good buddy cant wait to see the paint laid on it
  20. I want one!
  21. I got my first Kit in 1971 I was 5 years old. I dont remember what make or what type it was I do know it was a snaptite I remember my mom sitting me down in the middle of my room and showing me how to follow the steps and put the parts together. It was the most fun I had in my whole five years of life. Once I was done I wanted to do it again....So dear ol mom took me to a toy store in L.A. and let me pick my next model all by myself. I remember picking "CopOut" the funny car, my mother said "Are you sure thats the one you want?" With big eyes and a smile to match I nodded my head yes. My mother spent a little over 4.00 dollars that day (I remember she kept saying she spent soo much money that time) but we left with a tube of tester glue (man that stuff was bad), several bottles of paint & brushes. And that was my second build and here I am today still building. Thanks Mom. Romell
  22. I love your builds Chuck! but answer me this Chuckman! What attracts you to this type of build? (just curious). Keep up the excellent work Bro!
