Is it possible that I can use the parts that are not to be used from the LA wrecker to turn it into an actual semi? I have the instructions from the Constellation kit that I can use as a reference. I just wanted to know if all of the parts are there. Thanks.

As to the purple power, you have to keep it covered tightly or it will jell up. I have two car bodies in the purple pond right now that has been in there for over a month, now. I forgot all about it until a couple of days ago. Bodies are completely stripped and the purple power is still a liquid.

I really don't know what's going on, but I can't post pics using the image tag in the options when I'm replying. I'm using photobucket and I'm pasting the direct link, but when I click on OK, nothing happens. Then, when I try to cancel the command, it won't let me exit out of it. I'm kinda stumped. Any suggestions? I have a couple of builds I would love to share. Thanks. BTW, how do I get the file size down to 2MB?

How do the mold lines on your cab and hood look? I've got tons of flash and plastic buildup on my hood just behind the fender mounting holes. And the fender mounting holes are completely flashed over on my kit. I hate to say it, but I'm going to lose all of that rivet detail on mine. I heard that Archer rivet decals work really well, so I'll have to try that once I get around to building mine.

I just picked up a Monogram 1/48 B-29. I'll have to wait until income tax season to get here before I can get some accessories for it. I plan to fully rescribe it and paint it up in aclad.

I watched every video you posted and subscribed to your channel. You're hand painting skills are just incredible!

As I work in a food distribution warehouse, we use a lot of dry ice to keep our ice cream very cold while in transit. Well, I thought to myself, it's just sitting there in the bin. So I got a near empty water bottle with just a little bit of water left and I put a couple of small chunks of dry ice in it. I shook it up and very quickly threw it against the wall where one of our loaders was loading a trailer. Now, when dry ice comes into contact with water, it gives off gasses. Dry ice in a water bottle = dry ice bomb. So, I achieved my goal which was to scare the poo out of our loader without harming him or others. And before you cry foul, my boss did it to me when I first started working there. Never got in trouble for it.

For the life of me, I can't remember the name of the show, but it was about building models. Showing how to build them and what not. Back then, my older brother was building all of the models and I would just watch him work on them and watch his modeling show. I think it came on right after or before Bob Ross and the Joy of Painting. Anyway, that was what got me started into modeling. In the show, they were working on a semi truck. The next day, my dad and I went to Wal-Mart and got a snap together Ford Aeromax. Been building ever since.

I have an idea for the load on the trailer. How about a mobile Home Depot sign?

The look on my older brother's face when I took him to his first drag race in over 10 years. I paid for everything, including admission, food, and drinks. he was just awestruck when he saw the pro mods going down the track. Every time he smiled in excitement, I had to smile, too because I just made his day. Brotherly love.

Disregard. just found out that they don't ship to the US anymore. Oh well....

Mine was the Revell 69 Baldwin Motion Camaro. Almost nothing fit right. The engine leaned to the right even after I superglued the blasted thing in with superglue and clamped it to sit upright. This in turn made the exhaust manifolds not fit, The tires were such a tight fit that they actually bulged out the fenders. There were other problems, but I don't really care to remember them.

I've searched through 14 pages in Google and came up with a lot of stores that don't ship outside of Europe. Is it only available in Europe, or is there an online site that ships to the US or inside the US? So far, my searches have been futile. Thanks. RYAN.

It's been done a few times, but still funny. Back when I was working at Lowes, a very good friend of mine let me borrow his car so I could go get some lunch. Instead of getting lunch, I went to the store and bought about twenty packs of post it notes. I spent my lunch hour covering the entire interior of his car in post it notes. He thought I was eating in his car the whole time, so he didn't suspect a thing. The look on his face was priceless as he walked up to his car and found all those sticky notes plastered all over the inside. But, being the good friend that I am, I did help him get them all taken down. I had to use my own car after that.

Shawshank Redemption The Green Mile A Night To Remember Chronicles of Riddick/ Pitch Black Iron Man 1 and three( two was kind of lame) Captain America: The Winter Soldier Sin City. I don't know why, but I just like it. Blazing Saddles. I can just about recite that entire movie! The Evil Dead( the original one) Letters from Iwo Jima The Longest Day Spaceballs. Mel Brooks was just awesomely funny!

Ironically, I freeze my gonads off at work. I'm a forklift operator in the freezer section of our warehouse. It's -10 in the "warm" part and right underneath the blowers, it's -30. So, I'm sweating buckets and almost freeze to death during the duration of the day. It's especially brutal during the winter.

Sad, but true I'm afraid.

Lordy! What's with the shirt drenching days this week? Well into the high 90's with the humidity at 100%. I instantly start to sweat as soon as I walk out the door. I'd hate to know what it is in Arizona or California! Unfortunately, this means no painting for a good while. It has been almost 100%humidity for well over a month, now. So, what's the temperature where you're at?

Please, by all means, don't stop being a gear head. But please, be a sensible gearhead and respect the other people on the road. Their taxes pay for it just like everyone else's.

I have a 2003 Ford Ranger with just over 100k miles on it. Very well maintained and it has a four cylinder in it. I'm 26 and more than happy with it. These twenty something people who drive these monsters that want to make a statement is nothing more than an excuse to make up for the lack of size elsewhere. I'm a very hard working man trying to earn a living and I'm proud of what I have accomplished. That's the only statement I ever needed to make.

Dave, I just wanted to say thank you for even considering making new truck kits. I think we could do with more trailers ,myself. Like a new tool Beal tanker, dry bulk, lowboys, ect. And thank you for taking the time to respond. Not many kit manufacturers do that.

You misunderstood me. I was saying that the recently re-issued can do wrecker had the historic series logo on the box as well. I know it isn't the snap kit.

It looks like you were signed on as a guest. I may be wrong, but when signed on as a guest, you don't have all of the posting privilages that a member has. Therefore, you would have to create an account and sign in as a member. It looks like you have done that, so I think you are good to go. Excellent project, by the way. I was thinking about getting this kit, myself. I'll be following your build closely.

Yes, it's the old snap kit. Revell has a few kits out with the "historic series" logo. I believe the recently re-issued Can Do wrecker has this as well.

I just looked it up. Both models were recalled in 2006, 2007 for fuel-related problems as well as the transmission problems.
