  1. If you're going for the 1970s look, try sewing elastic that you tint a light tan with Minwax Oak Stain. Here are a couple of shots of the hose bed I did for my American-LaFrance 1000 Series Pumper:
  2. Nice looking pumper. Are you planning on putting hoses in the hose bed?
  3. I use Dupli-Color a lot, and I spray it right out of the can. Since I don't own an airbrush, I've never tried to decant it to use in an airbrush. As for primer, I use either the gray, white, or red Dupli-Color primer depending on what I am painting.
  4. Lets see, at ~$90 for the 1/35 bulldozer I cannot begin to imagine how much a 1/25 bulldozer would cost. What would you guess? $125?
  5. Nice looking snowplow. I like the floats on the front. Nice job on the engine, too. Tilting the hood make a big difference, & adds a nice detail. Question though, why does it have a blue light on the roof of the cab? Shouldn't it be amber? Here's a little help:
  6. Nice start to the 12V-71. I like it.
  7. I've been trying to paint the cab over the last few days, but that ridiculous red plastic keeps turning the white stripe a slight pink!! :angry: The cab is in the purple pond, and we'll try again this weekend.
  8. Your wreckers did? Hmm, mine only has the sleeper roof; at least that's all I could find. It's the latest reissue, too.
  9. Yes, the T900 is the W900 kit with some Australian-ish stuff & a right hand drive dash thrown in the box. I just checked my W900 Wrecker kit, and it does not have the sleeper in the box.
  10. Nice clean build. Good color combination.
  11. I think you did a great job. Like you said, it might not be exact, but it's very close. Well done.
  12. Nice job on those Korean War fighters. Always liked the F86. Your MiG-15 looks spot-on!
  13. Thanks for the comments, guys. Thank you for the offer, Alex. I appreciate it.
  14. Should be interesting. What are you going to hook it to?
  15. Nice combination. I like how it all came together. The Marmon looks great.
  16. Nice looking daycab. Looks good.
  17. Thanks, guys. It's back to work on Monday, so we'll see how much more progress I make.
  18. Thanks, Anthony. I'll definately keep at it.
  19. Nice looking W900.
  20. Gator Glue works for me.
