Very nice, as usual. Ben

That bottle is Tamiya gunmetal, straps done with a fine chrome paint pen. Ben

I painted the whole brake assembly Tamiya gloss black from the can. Then I use Tamiya metallic silver from the can which is almost chrome. Once that’s cured I use a hole punch to put holes through masking tape. That’s how I get perfect circles for masking the chrome silver rotors off to allow me to paint the rotor centre? and calibers titanium gold. I then carefully put the tape with the hole in it over the rotors. I then use a sharp scapal to enable the caliber to be exposed.then the titanium gold is sprayed on, ensuring that the tape has been burnished down first. Hopefully this helps. It’s fidly but worth it. I should do a video or photograph it next time. Cheers Ben

Shadows. I used panel line paint on the rotors too. They look less toy like with that done. Ben

Hi fellas. My current car project.

Will be watching. I plan to get the hobby boss version. Ben

Wow! Great work mate. Ben

I did see a picture of one of the movie trucks after it was made into a yellow tipper, the engine looked black, but there is no way that's factory. Google mark maxidyne cool power to see the colours they came in. Ben

It's a maxidyne cool power so it could be gold light blue or red, depending in the power output of it. Ben.

Looks good. I think some kits had better panel lines than others. Ben

I’m nearly finished mine. I had to reactive the rear hatch panel lines on the roof. Ben

Very nice! Ben

So much detail. You're doing it justice. I've met 3 stunt men from the movie who drove the cars on a drift day course. They described them as really crazy bits of gear. Ben

Very nice! I may have to steal this idea. Ben

Thanks mate Ben

Cheers for sharing your skills. Ben

Any news on availability of decals and photoetch for the dozer? Ben

Look pretty good. Makes me want to finish my Tamiya AMG GT GT3. Ben

You’re a saint. Been watching this on Facebook. Very much looking forward to the end result. Ben

Hi fellas, another project about to be moulded. Since AMT hasn’t rereleased ant 1/32 trucks, I thought this would be cool to have the LTL 9000 out there as a conversion kit. It will have separate grill, sunvisor, hood, air intakes, bumper and head lights with clear lenses. Let me know what you think. Ben

Hi fellas. An update. Hopefully I’ll have this ready to sell soon.

Very nice details added. Ben

Looking forward to seeing how you get the body done. Everything else has been great. That pewter metallic looks the biz too. Ben

And yet with the International LoneStar and ProStar, they seemed to have got them "right". I don't think they had any truck model experts among them. Maybe it was the access to CAD that made the difference? Ben

Wow! This is turning out great. I don't know about that filter. Ben
