pete 352 110" heavy haul
cowboysevens replied to cowboysevens's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Mike I painted the lightest color first, bronze. Then I taped off what I wanted to stay bronze. Then shoot a layer of clear coat over the tape. Then I shot the next darkest color , flaming orange. Then I taped off where I wanted the orange to stay and shot another layer of clear over the tape, then I shot the root beer brown. And when you pull the tape off your stripes are there. I use tamiya tape it seems to work the best and doesn't leave residue , shooting the clear seals the edges of the tape so ya don't get any bleeding between colors. If you have alil edge between colors just knock it down real gently I hope this helps -

Yeah dave aka cargostar does make a nice day cab, I would mock up the cab on the frame first then look at your choices on the best place to make the cut in regaurds to the cross members and outer fairing kit etc etc. Please keep us posted on this build -

cowboysevens replied to cowboysevens's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
well i used a mock up cab and got the motor to fit , you can see the cab hinges i made so when the cab tilts forward it will clear the texas bumper. i started the paint process on the cab, got the bronze base coat and the flaming orange on, now i gotta get the rootbeer brown on it. -

cowboysevens replied to cowboysevens's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
got the fraim rails all put together, i took my time and got it nice and strait all directions lol. the rear frame is from the can do kit and has a heavy frame so i had to shim my channel to keep frame smooth, then i gotta add strip on top to beef up front half like back. i still gotta remove mounts for the 359 and move the steering box mount forward . then figure out cab mount positions etc etc -
