    Not the neatest job on masking the main rotor, but it's closer to done. Tail rotor is in paint right now.

    That looks pretty nice, and the price of €17.31 (~$20.40 US) isn't all that bad. Shipping doesn't seem all that bad, either.

    The bumper that is shown is available at SourKraut's. Just email him.

    Ugh! I just ate!

    Looks nice with the trailer. I like the air lines.

    Great looking Pete, Tom. Well done.

    From what I've been able to find out, the Cat 3406C, Cummins N14, or Detroit Diesel Series60 would be appropriate. The Detroit V8's & Caterpillar 3408 are too "old" for the Ford LTL9000. Stick with the 3406. I'm not familiar with the transmission that's in the kit, but the "standard" transmission was a 9-speed direct.

    Interesting.

    This is the kit I have: It's the Model Shipways New York Pilot Boat Phantom. It's a solid hull kit, but I still cannot figure out how to proceed. My biggest fear is putting a ton of time into it, but having it only be worthy of kindling.

    Really fantastic work. I have a wooden ship kit in my stash, but I've been to intimidated to start it. Very well done.

    Oh, tail lights are SOOO over rated!

    Thanks for information. I have no idea what a PCD is, but I'll look it up.

    Interesting. I might need to look into this as I need something like these for a Ford F8.

    Looks good from my house. Well done.

    Wow! That's awesome. Fantastic work.

    In the 2007 Transformers film, Optimus Prime was a Peterbilt 379. However, in the 2014 Transformers: Age of Extinction, he was a 1973 Marmon cab-over then either a Western Star 5700 Custom or Western Star 4900 Phantom Custom depending on the source.

    Very nice. I like it. Did you use the Model Car Garage P/E set?
  18. Jim B
    I'd say that's a job well done.
  19. Jim B
    Very nice!

    Doesn't really surprise me as the trailers have been out for a while, and I don't think they were huge sellers. Good sellers, yes, but not huge. Moebius has been pretty quiet on the "Big Rig" front; so I wonder if their foray into Class 8 truck models is over.

    Try here: http://jbwid.com/scalcalc.htm Or here: http://www.scalemodelersworld.com/online-scale-converter-tool.html I found an app for my phone, but the link is corrupted now. My app still works though. It's from Scale Model Scenery.

    Sweet! Someone is building the Italeri H-21C here: http://aeroscale.kitmaker.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=SquawkBox&file=index&req=viewtopic&topic_id=258749&page=1

    Thanks, Roger. Hopefully I'll have some additional updates soon. Isn't the Hughes TH-55A (Schweizer 300) the same helicopter the Cousteau used on the R/V Calypso?
  24. Jim B
    That's a nice looking Euro tractor. Very well done. Nice clean build. Any plans for a Euro trailer to go behind it?
  25. Jim B
    That's really slick, Tom. I think it came out very well, and I like the colors.
