kilrathy10 Posted January 7, 2017 Author Posted January 7, 2017 Sadly this is all I got finished 1/43 iron nose Pete on a AMT Pete 359 frame Nothing to be sad about, here.....I like this little model.....It is really good.....
57peppershaker Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 Oops......Deleted the one previously posted, because I built it in 2015..... But, I did build this one....It's sort of a big rig.......I can't believe I only built 4.....Slow year for me..... Wow JT you must have have a gallon of red lol anymore inf on the 2 ext cab ford pickups ?
kilrathy10 Posted January 7, 2017 Author Posted January 7, 2017 Wow JT you must have have a gallon of red lol anymore inf on the 2 ext cab ford pickups ? Yeah, sure.....The Ford up front is just an old AMT snapper with some wheels and tires for die cast models, and the one at the back is a Revell F-150 with Revell F-150 Lightning rims and tires on it....I used both those kits to produce that one...... And, although it may look it in the pictures, it's actually orange for the color..... And you're right....I have enough orange to last another 100 kits......Maybe more !!!!
Mike77 Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 This is the only one that made it to the finish line for me in 2016...
10thumbs Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Excellent models guys!My stuff is real weak this year. The Pete 359 is only 2 lousy hours away from being called finished, its been this way since August, and I can't get myself to do it.My goal is sometime in February.

You know the drill, Man....Sometimes it's like that....I was just in that same slump......What I did was......Grabbed a "snapper" and build it box stock with a few extras.....That broke my slump.....Got it done in a couple of days, and when I was finished smiling at that, I was ready...... Maybe that's whay YOU need....

Oh orange is far better than red ! But i mght be biased due to my orange 1:1 57 Chevy
alangarber Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 I love those CL9000 trucks always wanted one but never got one
RAMBENNA Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 It's that time again, Boys.....Let's see how 2016 treated everybody...... I'll start..... man this is some fantastic work , they all look awesome
signguy2108 Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) A few more 2016 builds that haven't already been posted Edited February 6, 2017 by signguy2108 remove extra pics
kilrathy10 Posted February 7, 2017 Author Posted February 7, 2017 A few more 2016 builds that haven't already been posted Those turned out awesome, Man....I'm really loving that Freightliner......That's my favorite, but all those snappers are worthy of recognition, too....They're great !!! With the extra axles and kit bashed wheels and tires, they really look the part.....Awesome....
Mopar - D Posted February 11, 2017 Posted February 11, 2017 Larry nice builds I like the carrier deck crane on the low boy makes for a very interesting load.
mistermodel Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 although I worked on and started a few kits last year I only managed to get one finished. I prefer the classic look for trucks,I decided I needed a contemporary old school custom A snap aerodyne was the base for this one
kilrathy10 Posted February 15, 2017 Author Posted February 15, 2017 This one did come out good....I like the monochromatic mirrors, visor and tanks....And the striping work looks cool, too...It looks so cool with that sleeper and extended frame.....Awesome....My kinda model....
thejunkman Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 I know I am in a little lake but here is a 2016 build. I work on so much other non-model projects its hard to get more than one done in a year for me. I commend those that get multiples done in a year. In the field
kilrathy10 Posted March 29, 2017 Author Posted March 29, 2017 That was some mighty fine work, Jon....
Chariots of Fire Posted March 29, 2017 Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) My 2016 builds (Actually I started the first one in 2016, finished this year) [/URL Edited March 29, 2017 by Chariots of Fire
kilrathy10 Posted April 4, 2017 Author Posted April 4, 2017 My 2016 builds (Actually I started the first one in 2016, finished this year) All of these look just too awesome.....I can see a lot of care went into them.....These babies are true works of art.....
christian-w Posted April 5, 2017 Posted April 5, 2017 Here are my 3 from this year This is the only one that made it to the finish line for me in 2016... Wow! Like this builds! Love the Ford LTL and a little more the Wrecker. Pretty cool ides with the lifted axle. I'm working on the "Can Do" combined with a COE by AMT. My second truck project is the LTL9000 as a dump truck. But there is a way to go.... Last year I accomplished one truck since over 15 years. It is the Revell Peterbilt 259 Conventional (1/25 - #85-1506). I was testing the weathering set by Revell and some other techniques. The fuel tanks are done with Alclad chrome. Some oil in the engines compartment, the rear plate was from a donor kit, some cables and that's it.
ReduitRetro Posted April 25, 2017 Posted April 25, 2017 Formerly OlSchoolRedo here,this truck took most of 2016 to complete,and is already a favorite in my collection.
Goodwrench3 Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 This is the only one that made it to the finish line for me in 2016... Nice ! Reverse the color scheme and you'd have a Jamie Davis HR wrecker !
Fordboy1975 Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 where did you get the old needle nose peterbilt from, I've been looking for one of those for a while now.
