    That's really nice!

    No that's funny! Wonder if he's looking for his Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator. "Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom!"

    Very nice!

    Nice job. Looks like that started life as one of the Revell of Germany kits? I like the V12 under the hood.

    I like his modeling dioramas, and his water effects are amazing.
  7. Jim B
    Nice. I think the word you're loking for is louvers or shutters.
  8. Jim B
    Nice changes. I'm sure this will be another work of art.

    Bertha's looking a little rough! Going to be using a lot of Rust-all on that one!

    That's amazing! I like your "ghost cab" shot to see the engine. Very cool.

    Nice looking Mack. Great job.

    I think the 378 Longhauler would be your best bet since the US Conventional Truck actually has a Freightliner sleeper.
  13. Jim B
    Great looking Dodge.
  14. Jim B
    Nice job.

    Nice job. A little BMF on those door handles will add some additional detail. I like what you've done. What happened to your right front tire?

    Rick, I'm pretty sure Justin is correct as you could probably find them in both. Ford truck engines in the 1970s were Ford Blue, but if there was a rush order the engine probably would have been OEM color. Similar to Peterbilt & Kenworth who had their engines painted white, or International who had their engines painted red; but OEM colors always crept in!

    Nice job on the Ford.
  18. Jim B
    Those are amazing! Great details. You might look into K'Nex for your tires. They look similar.

    Fantastic! I've used Tamiya Medium Blue XF-18 for the Series60 Blue. It's pretty close.

    Looks good. I had trouble with those tanks, too. And the "mounting locations" for the cab hunges are non-existant.

    Nice looking Peterbilt. Great job.

    That's a naturally aspirated Caterpiller 3208 that was built for Ford by Caterpiller and sold in Ford trucks as the V200 or V220. From what I've heard, this engine is actually a Caterpiller 1160 which is the predecessor to the 3208. Apparently the 1160 & 3208 had different fronts.

    Fantastic job. Love those old Macks.

    That's a lot more work than I'm up for. I'll just get Porky's cab. Assuming that they ever reissue the Transtar II.
