Old Albion Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 James, This is a superb standard of workmanship. Very impressive! I like the dash details and the colour. Its nice to see an every day work truck, much prefer them to show trucks. Keep us posted on progress! Best Wishes Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABC Auto Industry Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Nice work! Coincidentally, the first rig I ever built was a Titan. It was 2 years before they re-issued it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTRACING Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 (edited) chassis painted. next I'll spray dullcote on the chassis and tires. then add some washes and pastel chalks . the wipers are from my parts box. I added real rubber blades to bit of work on the exhaust the stack . i added aluminum to the top part. also added clamps so they line up with the brackets on the air snorkel thing. gotta pick up some plastic tube so i can make the cross over pipe, i wanna run it on top of the tranny not under the frame like the kit part.

studioman3 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 James, Awsome work so far, your painting and weathering technique is very realistic. I am curious how you got the black into the cracks around the doors and hinges, its very believable. Nice Job Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTRACING Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 starting to add some weathering on the frame James, Awsome work so far, your painting and weathering technique is very realistic. I am curious how you got the black into the cracks around the doors and hinges, its very believable. Nice Job Tim thanks its real simple!, i just use cheap acrylic craft paint from the dollar store. simply brush on, let it fully dry then use a damp cloth and wipe off any paint that got on the body panels.

mardtrp Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 OK James, question time, the weathering you have done to this model, any chance of some information on what products you've used and how you've applied it, ALL the gory details, please . The reasons that I'm asking for this information, is that IS a very realistic look you have achieved with what you 've done to it. So a big pat on the back for you with that lot, well done, now, ALL the details, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kostas Parchas Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Hi James, Your truck is very nice. I really like brand new trucks or just ''cleaned'' but your weathering looks very realistic!!! I do prefer conventional not COE 's, as you may know here in Europe all the trucks are COE 's and the eye is bored to see again and again COE 's. waiting your next truck... Kostas.
