Hi Joe!... If you use the topper on it I think it could use some windows in it for more realistic look...it may work better for it? Looks good so far! Keep at it...
WOW!!!! I am blown away at the work on it! I have a diorama I have been planing as a future build myself, my first. The bricks look GREAT to me! Very nice work!
Hi Dennis... You can take an AMT front axle and make it pose-able by cutting the the spindles at the kingpin area with a jewelers saw with a fine blade (after you drill out the center of the kingpin with a micro drill bit) making sure you keep it straight. Then take a piece of fine hard wire the same size as your micro drill bit and insert it in the hole you drilled gluing it at the top and bottom of the spindle cap area only. You do the same basic treatment to the tie rod ends. Ive done this before and if careful it will work.
I once did the same thing with a can of brake cleaner in my old garage with the kerosene heater running ! Too bad about all your stuff though, I hope it all cleans-up well.
