ultraliner13 Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 Are those flames applied by air brush? If so well done. If not so what the result is great. Cheers John Wilson

Old Albion Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 What a great looking truck, very impressive so far. Like the detail on the engine! Keep us posted on progress. Best Wishes Dave Bates
dieseldoc Posted December 19, 2006 Author Posted December 19, 2006 The flames are air brushed with HOK paint. The engine was painted cummins beige, give a wash of oil paint and a clear flat coat. Thanks for the kind comments.
SpreadAxle Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 That sure looks good. Cant wait to see the finished product.
ratrodder Posted December 23, 2006 Posted December 23, 2006 Beautiful! Your flames look great on anything!------ ratrodder
dieseldoc Posted February 26, 2007 Author Posted February 26, 2007 I've made some more progress and hope to have this done with in the next 2 weeks.
Old Albion Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 This truck is coming along great. Like the exhausts and breathers the chrome looks well with the paint work. Keep up the good work!
Turbo590 Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Outstanding build as well. Engine detailing is superb. Kurt McLucas
dieseldoc Posted February 27, 2007 Author Posted February 27, 2007 Thanks for the compliments. Tonight I decided to add chicken sticks to the Texas bumper. I scratch built these from brass rod and tube. I turned down sprue from an AMT crearance light tree to 1.25 mm for the lights with my cordless dremel tool and exacto knife. Below are the results of my efforts tonight.
rottin1 Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Very nice job!! I like how you did your bumper guide lights, Looks pretty realistic. I like how you represented the bumper bolts as well. Nice touch. What did you use for the air cleaners? They look good. Those aren't the stock ones that come with the truck. The flame job is great as well. I have an airbrush and compressor and only wished I could paint like that! Very, very nice job on this one so far. Can't wait to see what else you have in mind for it!! :wink:
Diesel Gypsy Posted March 8, 2007 Posted March 8, 2007 Flameing heck !!! I wish I could paint like that, outstanding.
dieseldoc Posted March 18, 2007 Author Posted March 18, 2007 The stacks, tail board and mudflaps are now on. I kitbashed a set of street rod head lights from kit supplied parts and parts from a monogram speed wagon. Diamond plated the rear of the frame. I also added a fire extinguisher to the cab. Don't have much more to do on this and I can call it done.
dieseldoc Posted March 18, 2007 Author Posted March 18, 2007 What did you use for the air cleaners? They look good. Those aren't the stock ones that come with the truck. : The air cleaners are from Mo'Luminum. I scratch built the brackets from brass tube and flat stock then applied BMF to the brackets.
dieseldoc Posted March 19, 2007 Author Posted March 19, 2007 They are photo etch items from kit form services.
