I have been meaning to post progress photos of a few things I've been working on, so here they are. Additional photos are HERE.

Hoods:

These are all scratchbuilt with Italeri PB 378 fenders added on.

Red 388

Inspired by this truck

Big 379 long hood *See Post "Big and White" for finished pics 8/23/08*

Stacks. Smedile's 389 *Pics added 8/23/08*

I've been searching for the right rattle-can paint to come close to this truck.

My digital camera is fooled by the color and lighting creating a blueish look.

The white stripes are hand cut vinyl. I purchased the vinyl from www.flaminfrog.com

Here is the real truck

Thanks for looking!

Looks like you have a full bench. Looking forward to see what rolls out from the Tim-bilt factory.

Awesome truck stuff. I myself have just started building my first truck so its very interesting what people can do.

The blue is actually green - my camera can't figure out the color.

Tim,

Looks like you've got a full workbench there a real production line. I'm always impressed by your ideas and the lengths you go to produce the trucks that you want to build. Reading your posts and looking through your web site certainly inspires me and I'm sure all other modellers.

Good Luck with the many projects.

Best Wishes
