  1. Looking good, Tom. Will you have this in Utica?
  2. Hey, it couldn't hurt. He might say "No way" (or whatever then say in Czech), but you won't know until you ask! I might be interested in a P/E set for the Revell of Germany Peterbilt 359 (or AMT or Revell/Monogram) if it was the right price.
  3. Wonder if he could "upsize" some of his 1/25 W900 stuff for the 1/16 W900. He seems to have a lot of W900 P/E sets in the works.
  4. Thanks for adding those, Casey. Forgot about them, and I have both of them. Also, there's the White Freightliner SD, too. Think that was reissued a couple of years ago, too.
  5. The most recent reissued for AMT COEs are the Kenworth K123, Peterbilt 352 & Chevrolet Titan/90 (although the Chevrolet is getting a little scarce). The GMC Astro/95 & Mack Cruiseliner were reissued several years ago, and should still be available on eBay.
  6. Really nice! I'm loking forward to seeing this "in person" in Utica.
  7. Excellent job. You captured the "White-Freightliner fleet look" quite well.
  8. Well, that makes my life a little bit easier.
  9. KJ, how did you update the dash? The one I'm working on is (hopefully) going to be a 1992-ish T600B.
  10. No, it's a 1970s Cummins that actually wasn't even available in the T600. About the only thing that is correct on this kit is the cab shell & the sleeper. Everything else either needs some correcting, or is completely wrong. The frame front end is for the W900, not the T600 (as mentioned earlier, & a resin correction is available from GW Trucks); the rear suspension should be replaced with the 8-bag suspension from the AMT K100 AeroDyne, the engine is about 20 years out of date and should be replaced with either a Detroit Diesel Series 60, Cummins N14, or Caterpiller 3406B or C. You should replace the transmission as well as the main with auxiliary that's in the kit is also out of date. The chrome grill should be stripped & molded into the hood as this was a single piece hood/grill unit on the T600. I'm working on one now, and it's a challenge to make this kit correct. Good luck with your project, and may the Force be with you!
  11. Very nice build. Well done.
  12. I think we're going to have to start calling you the New King of Alclad!
  13. Looks really nice. I like how you used the stripes fro the Revell USA Peterbilt kit. Very cool. The truck looks much better with the bigger tires.
  14. Really nice job. I like all of the details that you've put into this build. What's that red tool box that the LACoFD seems to have "liberated" from the LAFD?
  15. That's awesome! Fantastic details.
  16. That's really nice. Thanks for the info on the paint colors. Man, that thing is big!
  17. Check at AC Moore, Michael's, or Hobby Lobby for Amaco WireForm. It's a small mesh that is used as a structure for clay sculptures. Here is a pic of the 1/8" aluminum Sparkle Mesh on the back deck of my GMC Astro: Hope this helps.
  18. Looking really sharp. Great job on the paint. Is that green & blue or green & purple? Either way it's really nice.
  19. That's a pretty extensive kit. Two dashboards, P/E, decals. What are those two small red things by what looks like the dashboard decal just above the P/E?
  20. Great looking combination.
