  1. I use to build WWII aircraft - I bought several modelers estates and amassed several thousand kits. The idea was to pick out the rarities and sell the rest. I could only build about one a month , figured my age and build ratio Selling them on ebay was more of a job then working 12 hr shifts. Kits had taken over every room of the house. I finally started giving , trading and selling by as many I could stuff in a box. I quit building for 4 years and got back into modeling by a semi truck trade for box of aircraft resin and photo etch. I only have a few truck kits on the shelf and I could not be any happier.
  2. I like it and it shows a lot of work and character. The only thing missing is an Edsel mounted up on a pole !
  3. A "self healing" hobby mat makes life real easy with the frames. You can find them with 1" square grids ,masking tape works wonders for holding the frame in place till the cement dries. This is a frame I shortened but you can get the idea
  4. I was wondering when you were going to wow us with more progress. Well worth the wait , I like the colors of the tractor !
  5. Thank you for that bit of information. Awesome color but It really looks good on the model.
  6. Gordon - Wow, what a nice collection. First pic bottom shelf Pete in the middle - what is that color ? It is spectacular.
  7. Hey John, those are some really nice covered wagons. Great project , I was wondering if you were still working on this one. How long is that wiggle wagon train from bumper to mudflaps ?
  8. Use the 1/43 Pete wrecker for the truck , a lot less real estate.
  9. Darn, the clearance mirror on the cowl got broken off in the crash ! Nice work Terry .
  10. Maybe everyone was celebrating our wedding anniversary - 24 years yesterday !
  11. Wow, these are so cool. I would pay admission to see a scale track and 20 or so of these trucks ! Could you imagine how sweet a Detroit V series would sound with a set of pipes like hat ?
  12. Most likely collecting pay to be on standby !
  13. Alan - I like all three ! Another great addition to a fine collection. You better chain that excavator down or it will slide right off there as if it was greased.
  14. Really liking the CF doubles and tractor ! On the someday list to acquire and build. Back in the day I would have dreaded a service call to that outfit - but in 1/25 scale they are tolerable.
  15. Nice pics , you dont see these very often anymore. Is it for sale or just on "standby " ? Thanks for posting them ! Is that your KW photo bombing pic three ?
  16. Dennis - nice collection you have going. I also like the fact you have plenty of room for future builds. What is the excavator , kit or diecast ?
  17. I'm liking it , especially with the faded stripe. Nice hydraulic tank you made !
  18. Those pulleys are nice, I could probably make one - but a duplicate Never
  19. Sorry to hear they look like that, hopefully all is good. Would that be UPS or the US Postal System that can take credit for that ? The last 7-8 packages I have gotten have all been damaged. I have quit ordering stuff I am so disgusted with the US Postal handing. Nothing worse then shelling out big bucks and the anticipation of waiting for it to show up , only find out it has been broken in transit.
  20. Terry - Wow, what a eye appealing display. I am impressed at such a great way to utilize the kit boxes and directions. Lucas - Very nice , my favorite is the logging truck and load. It looks so realistic , you must of had some good reference's to duplicate that one !
  21. I dont think you can ever go wrong with "red & white" ! Very Nice
  22. Fantastic looking pair of haulers and cow pots. I also thing the red top to match the tractor is pretty cool !
  23. Very sharp looking truck - looks like a real work truck with a lot of "Driver Pride" . I had just been thinking lately on why you dont see more of these kits built a daycabs. A fine example you have displayed here.
