ultraliner13 Posted December 18, 2006 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieseldoc Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rottin1 Posted February 27, 2007 Share 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieseldoc Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
