  1. Nice job. Are you going to use the tank trailer that comes in the kit, or something else?
  2. Nice job on that one. I like the color scheme, Nice idea to fill those holes in the cab & sleeper. Relocating the marker lights make a big difference.
  3. Very interesting & unique subject. Well done.
  4. Depending on the age of the kit, you'll need to seal the tube & balsa fins. The Estes rocket kits that I built in the 1980s came with the tube already sealed. You'll need some sort of sanding sealer for the balsa fins, but after that it's prime & paint as normal.
  5. Looks nice. Interesting trick with the glue in the emblems.
  6. Nice blue. Do you see many LoneStars in Australia? We see them every so often here in the Northeast US. They're kind of a rare breed. ProStars, on the other hand, are all over the place.
  7. Very nice looking ProStar. What? No orange?
  8. I think the W900B has a "squarer" hood (if that's a word). GW Trucks offers the W900B if you're interested.
  9. From what I've gathered, the AMT W900 cab is a 1968-72, while the Revell of Germany cab is a 1973-82. The Revell USA/Monogram W900 cab is also a 1973-82, but the AeroDyne sleeper makes the model a post-1976. Hope that helps.
  10. I'm really digging that heavy rescue! I think that would be a very cool project. Isn't the truck in the photo a C500? Sure looks like one. I like that pumper, too; but I think you'd be better of with the AMT kit as that's the older style cab.
  11. Very nice job. I've heard that this kit can try one's patience.
  12. Maybe this will work: http://bwicke9.wix.com/class-a-resin#!high-quality-decals/c20es
  13. Nice job on the grill.
  14. I have Brad Johnson's SATB Load Template from when he owned Model Truckin'. It's a PDF file, so PM me your email if you'd like a copy.
  15. That's awesome! Hey, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.
  16. It's not Photobucket that's not playing nicely, it's probably the Forum. If you're using IE, make sure you have the Forum in "Compatibility View". Otherwise try either Google or FireFox.
  17. Great looking trailer, KJ. What are you going to hook it to?
  18. I tend to do a littte of both. If I know I'll need it for a future project, I might pick it up if I feel like it. That way when I do get around to the project I have the paint.
