I was really hoping to have a better update for you guys on this since it's been 3-1/2 years since I worked on this. Some of that was due to painting issues, but that's neither here nor there. Anyway, since I pulled this one off the "Shelf of Shame" to try & finish it up it has been a real fight! Seems like every time I glue something on, something falls off! I went to glue the cab on, and the left fuel tank broke off causing the hood to fall off. Ok, so the hood wasn't such a big deal as I was going to take that off anyway, but I would have like to do it a little more gently. Then, trying to get the fuel tank back on, the air tank falls off! So I finally get everything glued back on (except the hood), and I manage to get the mirrors, marker lights, & horns on. I go to glue the air cleaners on, and they don't fit! The piping is too short. Not a total disaster since I can't get them to say on anyway, and in working with the air cleaners & piping, the engine breaks loose. Moving on to the exhaust system, I was trying to line up the exhaust tubing with the stacks and the cab falls off. It almost went across the room at that point. So, here is where it's at. I really hope it won't be another 3-1/2 years before the next update. Note air cleaner on the bench & not on the truck! Well, the mirrors, marker lights, & horns look good.

Nice job on the Stormovic! Looks well done.

I didn't think the hand crank was removable. I thought it was pinned in place. Shows how much I know about Model T!

Not a problem. Just curious, that's all. Where's the hand crank?

Well done on the Model T. I like it. Any plans for the Bell Telephone decals?

That is kind of neat.

Nicely done. Did you make the 9000 hood, or is that a resin piece?

Nice tutorial. Looking forward to Part 2.

This should be an interesting build. The kit looks like a nice one. Here is some background information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Brown_and_Franz_Stigler_incident

Really nice looking White-Freightliner. Well done. The silver with the green really stands out. Definitely not a fleet truck.

Jamie, those look like they might be GMC Astros ot Chevrolet Titans.

That's pretty cool!

Nice job, Rick. I like the red & silver.

Looks really nice as a daycab. Well done.

Great job on the Mack, Justin. Well done. Looks like it's ready for delivery.

Ok, so it's not exactly a truck reference site, but this is a good mode reference. This article might help you some:http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/model_magazine_articles/car_modeller/cm03_sept_1990_truc/

Good job on a tough little build.

Definitely have to check those out! I have a couple of 1/32 trucks that are in need of new wheels & tires. Now if I could just find a set of Mack spokes.

Kind of surprised JT hasn't chimed in on this one. He's our orange expert!

That Pete interior looks so realistic.

Don't see too many of those anymore.

Well done on the K100. I like the weathering.

Very well done.

Great weathering.

That's impressive!
