    Looks like I need to get on the list. Wonder what would be a good doner kit.

    Wasn't the AMT Peterbilt 352 reisued in 2000, or something like that? That's about when I got back into truck mudeling, and i seem to remember a bunch of then floating around.

    Is it available yet? I thought Dave was still working on the molds.

    Could be worse suppose. Could end up looking like a jackalope!

    Great job on detailing this one. I'd be a little aprehensive about taking corners in this one, too!

    Interesting. For someone with some scratchbuilding tallent (other than me) that probably wouldn't be too hard to make.
  7. Jim B
    That's a pretty neat idea. I like it.
  8. Jim B
    I like it. The steel truss is a nice idea. Don't see that all that often.

    That's wicked cool! Sort of an off-road logging bucket truck.

    No, there was never a plastic kit made of the W-Series; however, there is one available from The Backyard Shed: Ford W-Series Cab

    I think it boils down to two things: personal preference & ability. I don't weather my models primarily because I don't really know how to. I'm learning things, and I might try some weathering in the future.

    Fleet looks really nice. The General came out really well. There's just something about the GMC General for me. Nostalgia, I guess. All those GMCs and a lone Ford.

    Something about allowing the trailer to turn properly. At least that's what people who know a heck of a lot more about logging trailers that I do told me. Maybe it's just a Pacific Northwest thing. The log trucks around here don't use trailers.

    Looking really nice. I'm really loving the paint job. If you want to use the log trailer, you really should add abot 2ft to the rear of the frame.

    As far as research goes, here is the link to everybody's favorite site: http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/

    For being 19, you have some very impressive models. Wish mine when I was your age looked half as good as your's do. They're very nice. Quick photography tip: don't have your light source behind your subject. Your photos will always turn out too dark. It screws up the light meter.

    If I remember correctly the Ford Model AA (truck) shared a lot of parts in common with the Ford Model A (car). Same for the Model B & BB. When Ford introduced the F-Series in 1948, that had no parts in common with the Ford cars of the era (ok, maybe the engine).

    Looks pretty good. Ok, so it's not a contest winner. Neither was my first one (or second, or third, or fourth for that matter). You're next one will be better.
  19. Jim B
    That looks really nice. I like the weathering job.

    If it's a Cummins, it's probably the NTTC400 like Revell's Peterbilt 359 kits. You might want to read these: Mack E-9 Frame Frame Part 2 Cab Final Assembly Good luck. Have fun. Post pics when you can.

    Very nice. I like the orange.
  22. Jim B
    Ah, yes, who could forget "The Blue Mule"! Terry, is that a Mk19 mounted on the back of your pick-up?
  23. Jim B
    Try Tichy Train Group. That's looking really nice. Great details.
  24. Jim B
    Good Lord! You won't have to purchase new models for years! You definately hae your work cut out for you.
  25. Jim B
    No one that I know of makes a Sterling conversion, so your sort of on your own. I suppose that you can start with the AMT Ford LN8000 or LNT8000 and modify the hood, change the engine, etc.
