I bought this kit to get the engine and suspension, when I found the parts wouldn't fit my kit-bash efforts, I decided to build it.....
It's not as detailed as the kit will allow (There are decals for the cruise and climate controls) but it turned out OK I guess.....
Hope you all enjoy! Any and all comments are welcome............!
No lyrics for you guys to guess, just want to let anyone that has an Rdio.com account know that they finally, FINALLY got some Zeppelin on!! Been waiting for this since I joined Rdio, don't know why it took so long, and don't care, it's on there now!
Anyone without an account there, it would be the best $5 a month you could spend...... all the music you could want with zero advertisements....
ZEPPELIN.......!!
After 3 years of dumb questions, half-built models, and otherwise inane posts, I finally hit the 500 posts mark! It may not show in my builds, but I've learned a lot from you guys, so much that I will never be able to repay........
You can get good results with WalMart enamels... What I do is spray on my color coats and let them dry. Then wet sand until all of the gloss is gone. You may think you are ruining your finish, but once the paint is dull from sanding, there is no orange peel. Then you can clear over it. I have gotten good results with Rustoleum Crystal Clear..... Hope this may help some!
How about "beauty bands" or trim rings? The '37 panel seems to have large diameter wheels, I'm hoping maybe there is a kit with a trim ring that will fit?
Thanks again..........!
Both model building and pets are great stress relievers! I have a hamster (Yes, at age 34! )
He's a fun little scamp, and I'm looking to get a dog......
Thanks for the info, guys, and nice builds Bernard! I just looked at pics of the '37 Panel truck and it appears to have just what I was looking for! Thanks again.........!
Hey, fellas... I was wondering what would be the best source for a set of open-holed artillery wheels, like you find on a lot of customs. If it's Modelhaus, would anyone have a pic?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks for looking in, guys! Unfortunately, Photobucket isn't cooperating with my computer, so I'm not able to show any progress right now..... Darn 12 year old Dell desktop..!
I was gonna show you how the paint turned out, but photobucket isn't working right now..... I went with a brown because I couldn't find a black like I wanted. It looks OK, maybe I can get pics up later!
I'm gonna try this band again, I posted some lyrics of their's earlier and noone guessed it.....
Hint: This is the title track for the album it's on.....
"With my feet upon the ground, I lose myself between the sounds
and open wide to suck it in, I feel it move across my skin,
I'm reaching up and reaching out, I'm reaching for the random,
or whatever will bewilder me, whatever will bewilder me...."
