Old Buckaroo Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I am moving this to the finished shelf. The truck still needs cargo hatch T handles, Windshield wipers ( I checked every kit I have for a decent pair) and the pogo stick (which will be made of brass when I find my solder) This was my first full resin cab project and a learning curve for me. The in progress can be seen here - Thanks for looking in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 That is the best looking 7400 that I have ever seen built! I built one about 12 years ago, but was never happy with it. I am planning on building another one soon though. I had been debating on what to do about the grill, but if mine can look close to as good as yours, I will be happy. Excellent Work!!!

10thumbs Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 This is a real clean build and I like especially for the overall view your attention to the tires as they look real and not so shiny as directly from the box.Sean, could you offer some insight about your tire technique?Great model!Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Buckaroo Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 Brian - thank you, I believe it was your White I saw over at Hanks that impressed me to where I wanted to build one myself. Dave - thank you , I am pretty pleased with it. I call this my learning curve. Clayton - I am glad you like it Sam - wow what a comment, honestly color combinations are my biggest obstacle that I deal with. Dave - Spalding Trading has them on ebay all the time. You better get one before the molds wear out. Trailer - we have no room for trailers here Terry - Your style of trucks and building have really influenced me, Thank you ! Michael - Thank you, I usually cheat on my tires and use a mini sand blaster, but is has been like negative 10 in my garage. So I had to result to Green Scotchbrite pads for this truck. I cut the pad in about 1" squares and dry scrub and scrub. I clean the green dust off with a stiff brush and scrub more if there is any shine. Vic - I am glad you stopped in and that you like it ! Angel - Thank you, I have a few more oddities planned to hit the bench. Gator - Thank you, I am not so intimidated to tackle some of my other resin projects.
