  1. Dave, Duplicolor makes an Alpine Green spraypaint. I use it on my Detroits and it looks pretty good.
  2. I love the paintjob, Les. Very nice. This is turning out to be very cool. Now that oval mesh everyone was talking about, I'll take some too.
  3. I would love to have found that myself. That is a piece of history. When I lived in Pennsylvania, there was a W900 BiCentennial that I used to see a lot in the mid 90s. I still wonder where it is now.
  4. Here is the Fruehauf brochure for the Monogram 1/16 scale trailer. http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thsca...auf-pb-80-and-/

  6. Cool ideas. I've been wanting to do the Cummins engine, but I have to find a 1/16 tractor kit 1st. I only have the trailer. If I could copy the suspension, I have some trailer ideas too.
  7. Impressive work work you've done so far.
  8. Great attention to detail with the suspension and the small grille added above the main grille. Nice work.
  9. Dave, this is amazing work! Definately a model to be proud of.
  10. In a word, WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Outstanding work Dave.
  11. Hi there Win. It's most of the way done. I'm wanting to finish it so I can leave it at home, and press on with my other projects. Rebuilding is actually quite fun, it's just annoying when those hard-2-find parts break or get lost. Then you have to make the decision as to whether or not you wish to raid a fresh kit. It's not so bad if you're modifying the truck, or using it as the platform for a conversion kit. Other than broken missing parts, I wish I had saved my old builds instead of dismantling them. It would be fun 2 rebuild them now.
  12. This is a gorgeous truck Tim.
  13. http://kenworthk100club.multiply.com/ This is a link for K100 fans that I thought you might enjoy.
  14. This will be a cool project. I didn't realize Great Coastal went under, though.
  15. This is a nice tribute to your father. Good looking build. What engine did he manage to fit under the hood when he re-powered it?
  16. Nice work. It looks like a definite challenge. Good luck.
  17. made a little progress recently. Mostly just small detail items. It's not too far from completion. I decided to play with the camera the other day and replace the horrible pix that were here originally. Here is an overall view. The K broke off awhile ago, but we've all seen that Mack that was missing letters. I may redo this, but I had to add the raincap. It is a Mack after all. ;D My first use of baking soda as a "rusting agent". The shiny flex pipe is supposed to represent one recently changed. Here is the trailer from the rear. The placard holder was scratchbuilt. The blowout damage to the fender was done by heating it A little more of the trailer. Plaskit cones, and a holder from scrap plastic. A mix of worn and new tires are part of my weathering. I hated the 3 pix that were here, so I replaced them. Thanks 4 looking.
