Ken Gilkeson Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) this model has been completed but, I'll post the build images. Edited July 18, 2015 by Ken Gilkeson space
Ken Gilkeson Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) I like the basic layout of this kit and its proportions. tires were stuffed with tissue upper right so they fill out the rims upper left. left alone is shown lower left. Edited July 18, 2015 by Ken Gilkeson space
Petetrucker07 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I never thought of stuffing the tires. That's a great idea.
tbill Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 Great idea with the tire stuffing, revell kits would really benefit from this as they are some soft tires.
Mopar - D Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Ken looking so far I'm interested in what your going to do with this rig.
Ken Gilkeson Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 1/16 peterbilt has had some images added for anyone interested.
Tesla Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Stuffing the tires is a great idea...thanks! I'll be following this
Ken Gilkeson Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 engine work and frame painted, wheels assembled.
Ken Gilkeson Posted April 1, 2015 Author Posted April 1, 2015 bodywork mocked up. don't care for the notch under the tire rack. other than that I really like the looks. stacks to be omitted also and dumped behind fuel tanks.
Mopar - D Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Coming alone nice Ken. I removed the dips in the ramps and tire rack on mine that I'm working on now.
Ken Gilkeson Posted April 1, 2015 Author Posted April 1, 2015 been following your build Dan. lookin good and interesting.
Kenny B Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Ken, Looking good. I use cotton balls to stuff all my tires on all my trucks works just as well. Ken.
Ken Gilkeson Posted April 2, 2015 Author Posted April 2, 2015 about as big as it gets and barely fits. rear wheel detail sidewalls and treads sanded. due to contrast thet look shined. fronts the same with detailed hubs.
Ken Gilkeson Posted April 3, 2015 Author Posted April 3, 2015 top corners of tire rack radiused, doors cut out and cab paint. hood painted
Mopar - D Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Ken looking good. What are you using for your door hinges?
Ken Gilkeson Posted April 3, 2015 Author Posted April 3, 2015 Dan,on a flat surface like the tool compartments I'll use r/c airplane rudder piano hinges.
Ken Gilkeson Posted April 4, 2015 Author Posted April 4, 2015 compartments, doors and tools left to do
gatorincebu Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 Some interesting changes and modifications done here. That paint job looks good. Be Well Gator
