  1. That is looking good up to there, very good base on which to finish!
  2. The LTL was Ford's best looking truck. Thanks!
  3. Thought I'd show this, it's been awhile... Italeri LTL9000 wrecker. resin Detroit 8V92T silver from Auslowe, spokes and daycab panel also from Auslowe, Shortened frame 1 inch, scratched toolboxes and pogo stick, quarter fenders from the Freightliner kit.
  4. Still some space for another Kool Kabover? Here is my Kenworth K100:
  5. Epic build! Just like the real car!
  6. Flaberghasted! Nice work! Can't wait to see which rims you're going to use on this beast!
  7. If you can get your hands on an ERTL Transtar Co4070 or Transtar II, they have got to be one of the best COE kits around. Easy to build with good castings, a cab that goes on the frame without a fuss and installs level and sturdy, no guess work to align the whole thing together. To top it all off, the kit has a poseable front steering axle that is easy to put together too. AND you end up with a great looking truck. I have pretty much built every single American cabover that AMT, Revell and ERTL produced and the ERTL kits along with the Revell Kenworth Aerodyne are at the top of my list. They may be a little expensive now, but I think you won't regret it.
  8. AITM also has a 12V71.
  9. My favorites are the GMC with the short-high hood with 2 headlight instead of 4 and the chunky fenders. They look tough!
  10. All awesome! I guess the 60's Camaro kits are like lay's chips, you can't do just one!
  11. That brings back memories! Nice!
  12. Would go well with Sergey's Pigpen Cruiseliner!
  13. I have a W900L that is in need of some attention, a Volvo FH16 with a 6x6 and cab update conversions, a Day & Ross Ford Aeromax 106 daycab with a short chassis...
  14. Tht truck has a mean looking face! I like it! That would look real nice once restored!
  15. Awesome! Love the lowered look!, great paint scheme, excellent tarped trailer... Striking looks!
  16. Easily the biggest kit I've seen here!!!
  17. Excellent! This little 1:25th scale gem looks much better than most 1:18 diecast models I've seen! Very nice!
  18. You could take pictures of the logos you want to get onto a decal. Then get rid of the things around it with the simple "paint" program on a standard computer. Once the logo is cleaned up you can transfer that on the "word" program as a picture and scale it to the size you like. The letter sheet format on the screen is 1:1 so you can measure and scale you pictures. Then print this on regular paper and cut to test fit on the model. Once satisfied with the size, print on decal sheets, either transparent or white. Once printed shoot a clear coat over the decal to seal the ink. Always remember though, a printer does not print in white. So pale color lettering is next to impossible on a regular printer.
  19. Decals on complex corners also get me...
  20. Again, nice scratch building work!
