  1. I was unaware that AITM made a W9000 cab. Interesting.
  2. Yes, I did account for the pistols. It's probably the bet leg posture that he's in that makes them look a little funny in the photo.
  3. Nice looking figures. I've been contemplating getting a couple of his other figures. These figures look a lot like the guys on the box art. Did this kit come with figures originally? Are these original figures or copies of those? Maybe it's just me (or the angle of the photo, or something), but the little boy's arms look a little long to me.
  4. I wouldn't count on it. They'll need to pay for that lawsuit!
  5. Fantastic work! The detail painting is great. I remember building this car back in 1985 or 1986. Don't have it anymore though, the cat made short work of it one day.
  6. I've found that the Dupli-Color Alpine Green is quite dark for the 1970s Detroit Diesels. What I use is Testors Model Master Grun RLM 62. Here it is an a 1970 American-LaFrance Series 1000: For Cummins Beige, again the Dupli-Color seems too dark (almost Brown), so what I use is Tamiya Deck Tan XF55. Here it is an a 1980 Kenworth W900: For Detroit Diesel Series60 Blue, I use Tamiya Medium Blue XF18. (Sorry, no pics of that yet!) It's a pretty close match.
  7. Here are some shots of my Red River Shipping trailer. I used the Jbot decals for the trailer. It seems to me that the side logos are a little small. I have the "Blue Mule" decals as well, just no W9000 to put them on, yet.
  8. You can get the decals from Jerry at Model Truckin'. I think.
  9. The trailer that I used was the AMT Fruehauf Van Trailer.
  10. That's REALLY slick! Great looking paint scheme, and the interior details really are a nice touch. Fantastic job. What's that little red & blue sticker on the windshield?
  11. That's pretty cool looking. Can you imagine the looks you'd get when you roll into the KOA!
  12. Nice looking LN. You did a great job.
  13. Wow! That's some pretty severe weathering on the Cummins! Looks like a Detroit Diesel!
  14. It's definately a PACCAR (noticed soem PACCAR badging in the first picture), but it looks more like something from Capt. Nemo's submarine!
  15. Richthofen & Mölders, Aces of the Autobahn! Very impressive builds.
  16. You did that is a weekend? Wow! That's fantastic.
