Old Buckaroo

I have really high expectations now for this kit (hows that for encouragement)

The Reo decals were the oddball, I presume it is a typo as no one wants to order $80.00 worth. But I have had no luck with the sites contact info. I could spend that ammount there easily but not on just Reo stripes

Have you ordered anything from there ? I have inquired several times about decals and never heard anything back . I was going to order some decals for my Reo but you have to buy eight sets - wasnt sure if it was a typo error or the real deal.

Well when the trading mood strikes either one of you - give me a holler.

Just a quick mockup - so if something looks crooked it most likely is Mounted the fuel tanks with "white glue" so I could get the steps placed evenly. Next stop is the Alclad shop for them. I am going to mount the hood first then the bumper and cab will be mounted/ fitted around it. Thanks for looking and keep on trucking

Those are awesome, they look way better then those highway pads. So my big question is - How many are there ? I cant wait to see what you do for the rollers and drive sprockets .

Sam - I think both of them look pretty nice . Good score

Yay for dropping IE ! Try any auto paint store and get some 1200 grit. If you cant find any - I have some.

I would go with one of AITM resin frames myself. I have three Revell / Italeri trucks and all have broken frames in the center as they seem really thin and weak . http://www.aitruckmodels.com/pages/kt9frame.html or if your going really long http://www.aitruckmodels.com/pages/hd9cruiselinerframe.html Or build your own.

That is a really sharp looking paint scheme. Looking forward to seeing this one being finished.

I just cant get enough of this old Dodge cracker box. Every update just gets better ! Yeah - I think I am going to order myself a cab

Sam - I spray 90% of everything with my airbrush. I just grabbed the blue masking tape and taped the inside of the wheel (no air pockets) the tape stuck above the rim enough to where I did not need to cover the center. Then I just sprayed around it.

I really like the color combo of the truck and trailer. Those mirror brackets worry me though as they would never survive on my bench.

Thanks guys, I am happy you like the stacks and color. After seeing Terry's post and the wheels on his Pete I have come to the conclusion my workshop elves have been comparing notes with his. The frame is now off the "lego" stands and sitting on its own. Engine and trans now installed also. Thanks for looking in and commenting

I like it, good to see another one being built.

I finially got around to painting this truck today. Thanks for looking

Risky Business Top Gun 16 Candles

Well that cant be much more of a challenge then drilling all those holes ! Singles have that off road heavy duty tear'em up go anywhere look. That will really make this one jump out. Excellent work , thanks for the detailed progression pics.

I saw this jewel last summer. My son had been home on leave and we saw it on the way to the airport.

The interior is as good as it gets. I am waiting for my custom Sparkle Wheel to dry ! Thanks for looking

Here you go Jesse I need to hide this cab for a few days so I dont touch it Thanks for looking in !

Any Which Way you Can ?

Bravo ! You have done excellent work on a challenging kit. Everything looks fantastic, love the photos with the "Cops" . We all know why that driver wasn't paying attention to his speed with the fine reading material.
