Vince66 Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) Still waiting on the truck to get here but here is my 1/160 N scale Great Dane 40' bulkhead flatbed trailer included a dime for size comparison. It will most likely get the dip and repainted. Might depending on how hard it is try to use actual wood on the deck (maybe). Just waiting on the truck to get here so I can start on it Edited January 9, 2020 by NothingAsFineAsaW9 Title change
Vince66 Posted January 6, 2020 Author Posted January 6, 2020 Thanks Pete going to be fun once the truck gets here lol
k100 Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 That’s a cool project , I’m doing good to see the 1/25 parts let along see those tiny parts LOL.
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted January 8, 2020 Posted January 8, 2020 You have better eyes than me! Looking forward to more!!
Vince66 Posted January 8, 2020 Author Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) Welp my Diamond T fell thru my Ford cabs I have won't be able to get done as my other supplier is at the mercy of China so no frames no suspension no tanks or stacks for mini beast's as the items I need are on backorder until Late in the year. So still going thru the remaining kits I have to see if anything jumps out at me. No mini beast regular build did find a bunch of .0402 smd's for lighting hmmmm wonder what I can find now.

Vince66 Posted January 9, 2020 Author Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) @Pete68Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh Okay Pete you asked now you need to size up bud or stay on yer little tiny porch there mini pooch lol. So this is my entry a very old first run Italeri WS 5964SS Conny. Edited January 9, 2020 by NothingAsFineAsaW9
Vince66 Posted January 9, 2020 Author Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) What engine is in this kit is it a Cumm-A-Part or a Drip-Troit. Also any traps or pitfalls I need to watch out for with this kit. Thinking of leaving the top foil off making it a mid roof. Edited January 9, 2020 by NothingAsFineAsaW9 Added more
Pete68 Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 I see you finally put your purse down nice choice I’ll be watching
iamsuperdan Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Italeri do an excellent truck kit, so I'm looking forward to seeing this. But I have to question their design department. Which committee is responsible for the decal packages on these truck kits? They're prettty ridiculous. lolz

Vince66 Posted January 11, 2020 Author Posted January 11, 2020 Thanks to @DRIPTROIT 71 I can now begin this build in the am as now have my engine colors picked for this Cumm-A-Part it'll be a red top N14. So stand by to laugh as I haven't built a big kit like this in awhile.
gotnitro? Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 Really looking forward to your build, when your used to building under a microscope...your gonna be like holy smokes these parts are enormous !!! Looking at the box art makes me realize how times have changed in this politically correct time now .
Vince66 Posted January 12, 2020 Author Posted January 12, 2020 @gotnitro? Yes times have really changed hoping to get on it tonight as I have to clean my bench and move a couple of things did some winter cleaning lol. Not this one but maybe the next engine will get detailed out.
Vince66 Posted January 14, 2020 Author Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) It is alive man I forgot how bad the ejection pins and pin marks were on these kits after removing a bunch I finally got the base engine block together. Gonna let the glue set then go back and sand and fill and sand and fill hehehehehehe. Anyways here y'all go slow but sure. Edited January 14, 2020 by NothingAsFineAsaW9

Might depending on how hard it is try to use actual wood on the deck (maybe). You can buy wood decals, look like real and in that scale it will be this enough for that. I think mega hobby.com will have that kind of items, they have a decal section on their website. Hermann.
Vince66 Posted January 15, 2020 Author Posted January 15, 2020 Thanks Hermann have to check them out. After looking at the trailer closer it's a one piece deck so decals/dekals should work.
Vince66 Posted January 24, 2020 Author Posted January 24, 2020 At a standstill just no Mojo to build this big truck or car kits litterly. Sorry gang hoping to get some sort of Mojo going soon.
Vince66 Posted February 8, 2020 Author Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) okay Y'all my mini beast pusher got his shop going again so I just received this today here is my original plan the proto photo first 1957 pic in Denver of a Diamond T with separate sleeper. so my mini version will be an N scale 1/160 resin kit made by Royalemodels.com the trailer as seen above will be from trainworx with the bulkhead removed for those long loads onto the model pics. So after this mini beast arrived I got my mojo flowing again. The Western Star will be going to a new home aka DrKerry as we're working on a trade lol. Till next update Chowda.
