So I managed to get some work done on my 1/2500 Cadet Series USS Enterprise 1701. There really aren't a lot of parts with this kit, but the seams are horrendous!! Here are the parts laid out (warp nacelles, Primary & Secondary hulls assembled): And here is a mock-up with the saucer section & warp nacelles placed on the secondary hull: Yes, it's sitting on a clothes pin. I filled the Secondary Hull with 2-part epoxy putty so the support rod will have something to go into, then it will be placed on a Delta Quadrant Federation base.

This should be a nice looking Benz. Interesting process to make the wheels.

Very nice job on the hood & interior. The dash looks great. How did you do it?

That sure is bright yellow. Won't miss that one at the truck shows!

Not me! I have no talent for that.

Looks really nice. You're right, there really isn't much in the way of aftermarket parts for thw 1/16 kits. I'd like to swap out the 3408 for a Cummins NTC-series & the long hood on the KW for a standard hood.

Great looking B58. You did a fine job.

I suppose that there is a moderate following on 1/32 scale trucks. You are correct, though; must of the builds are 1/25 & 1/24 withy a smattering of 1/32 & 1/16.

Those look really nice. Are those the Meng tires ot you tires in the pics?

I thought it might be. Maybe it will fit your 1904 De Dion Bouton.

KJ, have you considered a 1/32 scale line of wheels & tires to replace the ones that come in the Revell USA snap kits? For wheels I was thinking of 6-spoke Mack wheels (front & rear) for the CF600 & R600; 10, 5, & 2 hole wheels for the Ford AeroMax & Kenworth T600; 5-spoke & 2 hole trailer wheels for the tank trailer that comes with the R600. Isn't there a Freightliner, too? There are also the AMT 1/32 kits that are out there, and their wheels & tires are too small. Just an idea.

Very well done!

Maybe we'll be lucky & Round2 will reissue some of them.

What about something like this: http://www.monroeperdu.com/Cobble-Road_p_41.html Don't know if it's big enough, though.

Nicely done.

That's pretty slick!

Most impressive!

Nice looking Roland.

Great looking flatbed. Very well done.

Didn't even know they made a 1/72 SPAD XIII. Interesting.

He'll respond. Eventually.

I've seen that trailer up close & personal. I's a very nice trailer.

That's serious Hardcore, Pavel. Looks like he even won a bottle of champagne! I've never seen that at a US competition.

Seams, definitely seams! They are my nemesis.
