[DrKerry]

Holy cow! What do you use to build these things Vince? The Hubble Telescope?? Yikes ? My blind self can hardly see the 1/25th stuff.... lol ? 

[Vince66]

Aye Matey I put on my pirates patch over one eye that causes the other eye to focus more then build hehehehe.

JK Kerry very carefully very very carefully.

Need to teach me how to do that!!! Focus I mean!!

[Vince66]

Lol yes same here focus focus focus nope nothing.

Okay a little more progress on mini beast with sanding c I'll Ming up soon in no rush to get it done rather be slow and look good than rushed and looking like garbage. 

Trimmed it from it's resin base trimmed the tires also still need to file down the nubs from where the frame and wheels were attached. 

Test fit the axle and tires had to trim the axle to get the tires under the edge of the trailer. 

But slowly plugging along. 

Onto the pics hopefully their in order depends on my phone. 

Until next update Toodles

I was also thinking of that......I'm still missing some small parts of some finished projects.??

[Vince66]

That's why you have to have magnet hands to keep the parts from disappearing hahahaha. 

Thanks for checking in all. 

 

[tbill]

I spend way too much time looking for 1/25 parts that hit ‘the deck’, I’d never manage something of that size!

very cool project!

[Vince66]

Thanks all wait till it gets paint lol.

That'll be the fun part as it'll be a multi color paint job.

Back to square 1

Talked to Doc K last week. 

Anyways this project goes from bad to worse. 

A few years back I was run off the road by an intoxicated driver that caused me to roll my tractor trailer upside down. 

This left me with nerve issue's in my hands so last night I was working on my Diamond T and had severe spasms in my hands.

This is the result of those spasms see pic below. 

Not sure where I go from here the trailer ended up just as bad. 

And the cab is not fixable due to its small size.

[DRIPTROIT 71]

Wow! Sorry to here about your accident!

[Vince66]

Thanks DT71 problem is this resin looks like glass internally and the cab and sleeper just shattered when my hand clamped down. 

As they say Shhhhhhhh it happens.

Just need to figure out where to go from now as I can't do the n scale.

[Vince66]

Had help on this truck what with my hand issue's here's the truck.

Now just need to get the trailer done. 

Enjoy 

 

[DrKerry]

Turned out nice Vince!! Great to see ya finish her up!! You and I have different effects. Yours hands clamp up and mine loosen their grip and I drop stuff, all the darn time!! I’ve dropped quite a few finished models at shows and home. Lost one completely and rebuilt the others.. Good to see you pulled this one back in!!

[Vince66]

Kerry.

This is a replacement for the crushed one.

Now just need to finish the trailer to complete the set. 

[DrKerry]

Got it Vince!! 

[gotnitro?]

Turned out fantastic 

[Vince66]

Thanks all.

It's been a weird ride but getting there. 

[DRIPTROIT 71]

Very nice! I would go crazy working with that small of scale! Great work!

[Vince66]

Not sure if I'll do many more in this scale.

Okay so after mini Diamond T and some time away from building due to my hand issue's. 

And now forced to lose a little extra weight so I can have both knee's replaced one at a time. 

I was painting tonight and came across a 1/87 HO scale build that hasn't seen the light of day in a long time. 

So thought I would add it to my 2020 BRBO builds .

So here we go an athearn Freightliner FLA or is it B anyhow found some 50's Aqua so shot the trucks frame and cab with this color need to go in and putty a spot on the roof I missed oh well. 

Will get hooked to a pair of 28 foot doubles one exterior post and the other a smoothside both wedge trailers. 

Once I re-putty the roof and after the aqua has had a chance to cure.

I'll be painting the cab stripes, rims,  hunter green and trimming the cab stripes in white pinstripes.

Unless I change my mind, considering giving the truck wobblies aka daytons. 

Have a lot of detail parts for this beast including fibre optic lighting.

And the Diamond T will be posted in under glass soon no trailer can't work on n scale anymore. 

Onto the pics. 

Sheesh that Mustang just sneaks in everywhere lol. 

Toodles enjoy y'all. I
