Hi Everyone, Just a quick question........Looking at some of the pictures here, I can see some of you have truly mastered weathering. I would Love to learn to do that!! I have done a few searches, and found a bunch of different books on the subject. My question is, Which books would be most helpful and which ones should I avoid? Any help here would be Great!! Thanks in advance, Rick

I've never been a big fan of that color, But it looks Great on that car!! Rick

That looks GREAT! Where did you find the engine hoist, toolboxes and other equipment? Rick

What show is that from? I've seen it before, just can't remember where. Great job!! Rick

Thanks Guys!! I was going for the whole typical thing. The kit was crushed by something, don't know what, but when it arrived my inspection showed only the cab was damaged! The windshield posts were bent real bad and broken in a few places, and the cab roof was pushed down to the lower windshield frame and twisted to the left. A few hours with a hairdryer (Don't tell my wife I used her good one for this!!) and replacing the left and center windshield posts with ones cut from an old glue bomb I built years ago, it looked good enough to try and build!! Thanks Again, Rick

Hi Everyone! It's been a few days since anyone has posted anything here, So here is my attempt to get this one going again. I finished this one a few weeks ago from a damaged kit I found cheap on ebay. :wink: I used it to try out a few new (to me) techniques, and a nice tutorial on working suspensions posted by Southgate on another site :roll: After I finally straightened out the partially crushed cab and realized it was worth using and not just good for parts, I built the whole kit in a week!! ( A new record for me ) Thanks for lookin' Rick

Thank You, this seems like a real nice place to hang out. I love looking at the pictures everyone posts, There's a lot of highly talented builders here!! Rick

42 is just around the corner....... Rick

Hi Everyone, how does that old saying go.......Long time listener, First time caller? That's me!! I have been building on and off since the early '70s. My models are nice, but there's alot of room for improvement. That's the main reason I'm here, to learn from all of you!! I never have much to say, so you'll hardly know I'm here. :roll: Thanks, Rick
