    Just picked up mine today from my LHS. It appears to be a decent kit. The Canadian decals are a nice touch. Logger research time!

    Kind of depressing. A good film with a good reality check, but still depressing.

    Excellent work. And I agree with Dave: we need more Steampunk!

    Nice Freightliner. I like the colors.

    Nice job on the Pete.

    I saw this on another modeling site yesterday, and I thought some people here might be interested. The site is called Model Train Software, and they have a program that allows you to design & print detailed HO scale buildings for railroad sets. They have other things, too (like LED sets & decals). http://www.modeltrainsoftware.com/model-builder.html

    I've heard the nicotine is more addictive the heroin & cocaine, which is why it's so hard to stop smoking. Did you know that the tobacco plant was part of the Nightshade family? I didn't. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightshade

    It's a decent site. Josh is actually in the process of rebuilding his 1966 Kenworth W900. Last YouTube video I saw of it, he was using a lot of Peterbilt parts. Does that make it a Kenbilt or a Peterworth? Not sure. Funny how the truck on the East Coast Large Car show flyer looks a lot like the AMT kit!

    This thread is good information! I'll probably pick up a couple of these. I want to do one as a Spector tractor,

    Loe, thanks for the mini review. I'm definately going to pick one up for my logger.

    Congradulations! Keep it up!

    White dashed lines? Dare to be different. I don't remember that when I was in Arkansas, but then again I was mostly on the highways.

    Has anyone used the Model Car Garage P/E set for this kit?
  15. Jim B
    Thanks for the pics. With you ground shading, you really don't notice that it's just a flat piece of posterboard. One thing though: your dashed lines should be yellow. Good luck with the company diorama. That looks HUGE!

    Thanks, Larry. I'll review Tim's site for ideas.
  17. Jim B
    I like you photo base, too. Do you have additional pics of that?
  18. Jim B
    Nice job.
  19. Jim B
    Looking good.
  20. Jim B
    Very nice!
  21. Jim B
    I agree. That's what i want to do, too.

    One thing you might want to consider is that the truck is 1/25 while the sandbags are 1/35. They will probably look too small. Remember a standard military sandbag is 14" x 26" (in 1/35 that's 0.4" x 0.743"). If you use these bags they will be 10" x 18.5" in 1/25 scale. Food for thought. These trucks could be rated up to 1-ton, but I'm not sure with the "rating" for the Texaco kit is.

    Sure looks like a Henry. Or maybe a Marlin.

    That turned out great. Nice details, great color.
