trick my mixer

Thank you for letting me know. It all started back in April of 2015. He wanted another Volvo re-issue plus another set of decals from that Volvo. He said he would trade an Italeri Peterbilt 378 original issue and a new chrome mercury sleeper new. I sent my items within the week. I never heard from him from then on. When I finally decided to get a hold of him he gave me the hardship story and I totally understood, it does happen. This was about 8 months ago. I was in no rush so I just said ship them when you can. he did say he had them but had no time to go to post office. I got a hold of him some months later and then he said he was sorry for letting a fellow modeler and especially a fellow trucker down like me. that was a month ago. nothing in the mail. Again after our short talk he said he would put them in the mail that Monday. Still no package. I figured him for a straight shooter since he is always piping on on every post especially about Peterbilts. i did not want to post it on bad trade list but did not want anyone else going thru what you and I have gone thru. Thank you for telling me this.....Lucas

Did a trade deal with Petetrucker07 Clayton Scheiber 18 months ago. I shipped my end of the deal in a week. Still have not received his end of deal. Everytime I get a hold of him he promises to have it in the mail that Monday. will never deal with him again..........

Go Large or go home...it certainly is " Large " Nice detail and it looks good with that lowered stance......Awesome!!!!!

Welcome Mitch, from Darington, Wa. Warm enough for you. happy 4th.........

Congrats Clayton.....On both your wins , a new Son and trophies to boot!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice old Jimmy. I still recall first time I drove one . I could not believe how big the front windows were. .....Looks good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That 369 is bad to the bone!!!!!!

Good looking Freightshaker Angel...Nice paint.....Looks like the Franklin Mint model...........Great job!!!!!

Lookin' really good so far. the ol' Jimmy will ride nice with the modified air ride ....Nice to have different stacks.....Lookin' forward to the progress

You are right Sean on the 1977 " Owner Operator " I know exactly which one you are talking about. Nice touch with the opening doors...........

Very nice builds......they look sharp!!

Looks real in the photo to me....I'll drive and keep it cleaner still....LOL!!!!!

What is the finish on the wheels and grill?

every one has a problem with that roof seam. If only AMT would make a solid cab it would eliminate that problem, but that will never happen....

Yes, the windows do add a nice touch to it.

Nice job on the opening doors. Looks good!

Sean, nice looking 2 story freight shaker. If it had a red " S " on the door it would almost look like the old color theme Safeway Trucks use to have. I like it.

Looks great with the extended hood....If you have to come in on the hook do it in style.............

Sorry to hear about your super glue problems...I use super glue on some parts and not on others. When I do use ca I use the medium one which suppose to bond in 10-15 seconds. I also use accelerator. Are you using accelerator? If I use accelerator I usually dip a tooth pick style stick or a piece of sprue to dip in the kicker ( accelerator ) and put a drop where the ca is applied. Hope that helps

Be real careful when you cut the parts off the sprue on the re-issue mercury sleeper. the connect points are big and when you cut them off they leave that big white spot where they were connected . I sprayed my first one with clear coat to help keep finger prints off. it also helped to tone it down a bit. next one will be sprayed with dull coat to give an aluminum look......

Welcome aboard Richard......you will have a lot of fun here and learn a lot also. I am also 1/24th and 1/25th scale truck builder only. Feel free to post pictures of progress.....Also good place to locate parts.....Lucas

I can back up any combination around until they decide to go their own way.....LOL!!!!

Third on the paint scheme....Looks great overall so far

What holds the log loads secured are called wrapper because as the term implies they are wrapped around the logs. They are to start with a cable and they have about a 2 foot piece of chain on each end. The wrappers are tossed over the load of logs and then you grab one end and bring it under the load and you hook a chain binder to it and the hook the other end of the binder to the other end and you grab your cheater bar and cinch it down. A regular load requires 3 wrappers but up here in the Northwest they started putting more axles on so now most loads require 4 wrappers.....I made my wrappers from picture frame hanging wire and used some small chain on the ends and crimped them together with some small metal jewelry connecting ends, the kind you can crimp together.... I got my working chain binders from KFS out of England. Hope that helps

They look great to me, a lot of nice detail.......Seatlle Seahawks super bowl bound again!!!!!!!!!!!
