Repstock

The '70 Monte Carlo chassis worked well on mine.

The engine is pretty much done. I will try to keep moving forward on this. Thank you, those who have stuck with it so far.

What transmission is represented on the AMT 1/25 scale White Freightliner (with NHC 250) ?

I'm done with the cab for now, and moving on to the engine. Most of the subtle weathering doesn't appear to show up in photos, but can be seen in person.

I'd like to find some 2 holes to fit the AMT trucks.

I've got the decals drawn and printed. Progress continues.

PAINT! A stage I rarely reach in a build these days! I decided on an old, tired Central Transport truck. I know Central is known for their yellow livery, but there was a time...Hopefully soon I can get a chance to draw up some decals. This is a s clean as she'll ever be. The red is darker than these pictures make it appear.

Scroll down the page: Maybe my build will help you (?)

I may add a few items strewn about the interior, but the base interior is done. I have some work to do for a client before I continue, but I'll be back to this soon.

I'm getting close to assembling the interior. I use Tamiya TS-75 for that bare-bones look. Nothing plush about this truck!

The MPC 1973 Vega. This is before I discovered the world of vintage kits, shows, and such. I was 13 at the time.

All I need are pedals, and I'm calling the dash done. Moving on to other areas.

I've been working on the dash. The upper surfaces are just about done, but there's just as much below the dash as above, so that's next.

Thanks! I think I can work from this information. I appreciate this.

Title pretty much says it all. Overall height, width, etc for a '60's, early 70's White 7000 cabover. Thanks!

I've started the basic interior. Here are all the components...Cab, skirt, roof, interior, and the "glass". First, we insert the roof. Then, the interior assembly. Finally, the skirting.

I sanded off the rivets on the top and redid them in the proper arrangement. I'm glad I didn't have paint on it at this point! Added more details, some of which will make it harder to paint, but I want the strongest possible bond. Not much left to do on the cab!

I discovered some better shots of the roof. My rivet pattern on the roof is wrong, so I'm going to address that.

I've added a few more details. Almost time to start the interior.

I have sanded the rivets, and they look much better now. It doesn't really show up in a photo, but in person the effect is much more subtle. Moving on to further detailing.

Cab is repaired, and the balance of the rivets have been added. I wish I could have made them a bit smaller, but this is as small as I could get and still work with them. I'll sand everything a bit when they dry.

Now THAT'S funny!

Just to let you know, Testor's cement will take the yellow printing right off a cutting mat.

I managed to knock over a bottle of Testor's liquid cement, and some got on the model. I'll need to let it dry before I assess any damage. Darn.

It's starting to look like a cab now. Progress continues. Window frames should straighten out when glass is installed. Rivets look a little large...I used them on a Freightliner and it looked fine. I'll work with them after they're all installed.
