Missing in Action

WOW!!! That 40' box looks great on everything William!!!

Looking pretty dang good William!!!

Lookin' really good Mike!!! Thissun will turn out great!!! Roy

Looks pretty good so far Steve!! Keep those updates coming!!! Roy

I "Rolled the dice" and used Easy-off in the yellow can....And, It worked perfectly!!! No damage whatsoever to the resin. It only took 35 minutes total (2 applications) and the cab was cleaned of all the paint. I was holding my breath during the first application and about 75% of the paint came right off.Then the second application finished the job.And I rinsed the cab in warm soapy water and dried it off....Done!! I couldn't be happier with the results!! Thanks to everyone that offered their assistance!! Roy

Looking Good William!!!! Where did you get the monkey at?? Roy

LOL!!! Then I would have to clean up after him!! Seriously, I haven't committed to the Bj and the Bear paint scheme yet, Because I already have a very nice 1/25th scale Bj truck and trailer. And a 1/16th scale 40' trailer is a big "IF"...'cause I ain't got one!! Time will tell!! Roy

LOL!!! I still have to put the rivets on...

It's been a while since I've posted any progress updates and pics, So heres an update...The bodywork is about 90% complete,The same with the interior. Heres some update pics of the truck... Thanks for followin' along!!

I did!! One less hassle to deal with!! LOL!!!!

Thanks for the info John and Daniel!!! Roy

WOW!! It's been a while since I posted to this thread!! williamchevelleman1972 is already off and running with his 1/16 K-100C and trailer build and it's looking real good !!! I don't know who will finish 1st,But they are both gonna look great !!! And James...Look for me at the NNL show(I will be a vendor)... I will post some more progress pics tomorrow afternoon!! Roy

Nah, William is building this one and I'm building one too...His has a Kitty CAT3406 powerplant,Mine is a NTCC 400 Cummins. I'm gonna post some progress pics tomorrow afternoon. Seeya!!! Roy

You are doing a good job on this truck!!... And trailer too!! Roy

In scale, the K-123 is about 12'' too short...I have built both AMT and Revell K-100's and both have good points and bad points...AMT cab is easier to work with and the fit issues on the frame leave a little bit to be desired,And the Revell cab is very fragile and prone to warp and break very easily, But the complete chassis is far superior to the AMT counterpart...The KW in my Avatar is a Revell unit(I used several cusswords when the cab was being assembled) And it turned out pretty well...I think!!! LOL !!! Roy

How do you strip paint and adhesives off of resin bodies without destroying the resin itself? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've never had to do it before...And, Resin is Expensive!!! LOL!!! Thanks in advance!!! Roy

IT'S FINISHED!!!!!!!! Here's the finished pics along with my personal truck... Thanks for following this thread everyone!!! Roy

Just some update pics... Thanks for followin' along!!

KW Looks super good Craig!!!

Hey Everyone!! Just a little update...I will post more pics/info very soon as I am working on finishing a Comission build of a MOVIN' ON W-9 for a friend of mine in Tennessee. Then I will be back on this one "Hot and heavy" in order to have it ready for the ACME NNL Southern Nationals in November!! It will be close...But, I think I'll make it!! LOL!! Thanks for all the great and positive comments Guy's!!! Roy
