Diesel Gypsy

Now aint that pretty

An excelant model of my all time favorite truck. Give the man a cigar.

What a wonderful build. I'm going to keep an eye on this one.

I've not had much success using acrylic washes. My usual weathering route is an oil or enamel wash over an acrylic base coat. Your excelant model shows me that acrylic washes work very well & look amazing too. So now I'm off to breakout my acrylics & give it a go. Thanks for the inspiration.

The weathering on the frame is excelent. What colours did you use in the wash? DD

Ok ok, so its a real car yeah ? Seriously, its a model ?? Nah, stop kiddin me. Craig, your not of this world. what a fantastic, magnificent totaly awe inspiring model. much respect.

A.....MAZE......ZING !!!!!!!!!!!!

Wounderful Sled Mr Cruz.

Oh Mamma !!!!!!

Pretty silly question was'nt it . I should have known that it would have been heavily modified. Apologies Tim. On the asssuption that by saying any more I'll dig an even bigger hole for myself, I'll end by congratulating you on a superb build, great stuff........I'll get my coat

Pure class. Awesome.

Awl, dont be too hard on the little Midgie. You have to treat her like you would a woman. Lots of tender love & care & a good service now & again & her performance will amaze you Awlsome model by the way. Personaly I prefer the chrome bumpered version. Its a very nice build indeed, thanks for sharing.

Very very nice Tim. Apart from the Moose bar it looks box stock, is it ?

`Ow do's Andy, Great to see you on this forum Buddy. I just know you'll enjoy it here. Pull up a chair, crack open a cold one & enjoy. Dazie.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of this build. I'll follow this one for sure.

Magnificent Tim. BTW, I've just looked at my posting time, its actually 5.26 pm here in the UK. Tea time folks

I stand in awl. As usual a fantastic build Dave. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

Very very nice. I just love those flames. Impressive for your first truck build.

Hi Guys. I've been away a while, hospital mainly but also goofing around on another forum in the U.K. Heres a quick update on the Kenny. When I got back to my bench I found that the paint on the cab had cracked. It had crazed all over. I used an acrylic auto paint rattle can over brand primer. I've used the same brand many times before & never had a problem, wierd huh. So I've stripped the paint off back to the bare plastic. Now I'm ready to start again. This time I think I'll use acrylics & enamels through my air brush. The cab in its original guise. The picture does'nt show the crazing well, but its there After paint stripping, & ready to start again A shot of the engine

Gentlemen, Both are great builds. I agree with Tim, C.O.E. day cabs look very nice. I have several Revell Aerodyne's in my stash & have been pondering on building a flat roofed version. Untill now I was'nt aware of a conversion. I've been pestering our after market supplier (KFS) here in the U.K. to make one. Now thanks to you guys I know STS stocks them & I'll be ordering several soon.

Barbo. Thanks, I realy enjoyed building it.
