  1. You got that right. Hoping to get some paint on this sometime this week. Trying to finish up the cab first.
  2. There's more than one way to deal with those pesky ejector pin marks! The interior walls of the bed were loaded with them, but I guess I really can't complain too much as these were the only ejector pin marks I had to deal with on the entire model.
  3. So the release scheduled for April will not have the instrument cluster decals?
  4. Kind of surprised they're not Coca-Cola-ing the Autocar.
  5. Very well done. The details are great. I'm guessing that those were originally made for S-gauge railroads.
  6. You & me both! Actually, it has been a rather enjoyable build.
  7. That looks really nice. I like your layout, too.
  8. Thanks, Jim. It's going together quite well, and the only issue has been the plethora of deep ejector pin marks on the inside of the dump bed; but I have a solution! I just need time to implement it.
  9. Thanks. It's getting there.
  10. Those are some nice cases, Sam.
  11. Thanks. Going to add the raised bumper as well. Figure that would be on a construction type vehicle.
  12. Thanks. Got the brass logo painted up yesterday, and the fenders are all painted. Now to finish the interior.
  13. I put my tractors in these: https://www.pioneerplastics.com/shop/display-case/toy-cases/118-scale-diecast-case-2/ You can order them directly from Pioneer Plastics,. or they are available at Hobby Lobby. They generally will fit a single tractor or you don't get too crazy with the wheelbase, and they stack.
  14. Nicely done, Pat. IO like that OLBD dropside truck. Do you have one of those, too?
  15. Interesting. I like the West Seneca, NY, location on the decal sheet. If only the area code was correct (716), but I understand why it was done that way.
  16. Thanks. Turns out that time made most of the decal carrier film disappear. Have to add the brass Mack logo to the front.
  17. Looks nice, Justin. Looking forward to seeing it at Utica.
  18. So, it's been a little while, but I managed to get some decals onto "Ole' No. 25" today. I'm not entirely happy with how they look, but I am grateful that they didn't just disintegrate once they hit the water considering how old the decals are.
  19. The pics might be "less than stellar", but the build is awesome! I'm constantly amazed at the detail in these 1/43 kits. If I ever find one at a local show for a reasonable price I might just have the pull the trigger & buy it.
  20. Excellent job, Brian. Very well done.
  21. Autoworld offers this set: https://www.autoworldstore.com/product-p/mka022.htm You can also try Model Truckin' http://modeltruckin.com/store/ Although his white can be a little opaque, but not bad.
  22. That's awesome. Should look great with the belly dump.
