Thanks, Dan. We'll see what happens.

That's really impressive, Jesse.

Those are so cool. Fantastic weathering for models so small. And I thought 1/700 scale ships were small. What track does Nn3 run on? Can't run on standard N track.

Henry, Here's a list I "compiled" a while ago. It is by no means a comprehensive list: American Industrial Truck Models ( www.aitruckmodels.com ) - resin parts (also hosts Illini Replicas) Model Truckin' ( http://modeltruckin.com/store/ ) - decals Plaskit - resin parts (Daniel doesn't have a Website, but you can email him at plaskit_resin@yahoo.ca ) GW Trucks - resin parts (Gary doesn't have a Website, but you can email him at gwtrucks@yahoo.com for a catalog) Kit Form Services ( www.kitformservices.com/ ) - resin, P/E, decals GR Decals ( www.grdecals.com.au/ ) - decals & P/E Auslowe ( www.auslowe.com.au/ ) - resin, decals, P/E The Model Car Garage ( www.modelcargarage.com/store/pc/default.asp ) - mostly car stuff, but some P/E & detail items for rigs Scale Equipment Ltd. ( www.seltd.net/ ) - mostly car diorama stuff, but some things could be useful Czech Truck Model ( http://www.czechtruckmodel.com/eshop/index.php ) - mostly P/E but some multi-media update kits. Double-Take Replicas ( kdhumphr.wix.com/double-take-replicas - wheels, tires, & some other resin items Mo'luminum Model Truck Parts (http://moluminum-com.3dcartstores.com/) - turned aluminum parts, P/E, resin parts Hope this helps.

What sort of parts are you looking for?

Someone will bid on it. You know someone will. Some collector who needs the original Monogram boxed kit to complete his collection.

Looks really nice. Well done.

Thanks, John.

Very nice job, Jesus. Definitely looks the part.

Interesting. Can't say as I've ever seen a pumper with a sleeper before.

The only M939 5-ton that I know of is the 1/35 Italeri M923 kit. There are some 1/35 resin conversion kits available, too, but they are VERY expensive. http://realmodel.cz/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=11&Itemid=79%2Findex.php%3Foption&page=shop.browse&category_id=12&Itemid=79%2Findex.php%3Foption&page=shop.browse&category_id=14&Itemid=79&vmcchk=1&Itemid=79http://www.realmodel.cz/shop/index.php Good luck with your project.

That's a great looking Ford, Túlio. Very well done. Just finished this kit myself.

Nice looking Mercury, Túlio. I'm working on this kit now.

Nicely done. It even sits level.

Thanks, I appreciate the offer. Can you post a pic of the parts? I'm not familiar with the kit.

Thanks for the comments, guys. I appreciate it. David, I've already tried that route, but it doesn't look like anyone has purchased that kit that isn't going build it as a police car. I have the gumball light from a Jo-han 1968 Fury kit (I think), but I still need to track down a more period correct radio, rood sirens, & figure out some way to make the whip antennas & curb feelers. Shouldn't be too terribly difficult!

Here is a little project I started a couple of weeks ago. Managed to get some work done on the frame, engine, & interior. Here's a closer shot of the Mercury V-8: Here's sort of where I'm going with this: I think I'll skip the eyes, though.

The only Caterpillar 3408 that I know of is in the Revell of Germany Kenworth W900 & T900 kits.

That car just looks fast even when it's standing still. Very well done.

Can't say as I blame you on that! Oh, where did you get your Engine 51 decals made?

Off to a nice start. I know it's not that big of a deal because you can't see the engine anyway, but I thought Engine 51 has a Inline 6 Cummins.

It looks great, Tom.

Nicely done.

You're right, it is a Ford. I didn't notice that the first time around.

Most excellent!
