crazyjim Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 I read Mr. Obsessive's post. I hope he starts building again and posts here. I learned so much from him.
Nick Winter Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 Romells still around got this in a PM: I havent been in my shop for a couple months now been busy with the business.
montelsc Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 Here you see the bracket has been removed and ready to be filed down.... and here its been relocated..... AHHHH the wheels are in the right place these wheels require that you put the lug nuts on..... here a pic of the finish chassis almost ready for painting, I figured I'd put it all tigether because it all painted black Already looks like its coming out good lots a luck with it.
Romell R Posted January 27, 2011 Author Posted January 27, 2011 Hey fellas sorry ive been gone so long, when it gets cold out here i cant build my little heater just wont heat my shop up good enough to paint and stuff. So i been chillin (literally) all winter waiting for the spring so i can finish the wrecker so i'll be back in action real soon cause were getting some warm weather now. see you all soon. Romell
Chuck Most Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 About time you came back, dude! You had us worried.
Jim Gibbons Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Glad to hear some news from you again! I have a Zen attitude when it comes to models; things will be finished when it's their time. I've been messing with a very simple Heller 1/43 Citroen 2CV, and enjoying every prolonged minute of it!
Nick Notarangelo Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Again Rommel my boy Nice work as always.
Romell R Posted January 27, 2011 Author Posted January 27, 2011 thx again fellas you'll hear more from me soon im pulling the wrecker out of the moth balls as we speak, next step is to get organized again and get back on the ball.
scale trucker Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Well I decieded that if I was gonna build a more modern Kenworth I have to make some changes right off the bat, so in this installment I was able to modifiy (not scratch build) the cab and sleeper. The resin cab i bought fell short of being Kenworth correct so follow along as I make some corrections......enjoy this is the resin cab as it came....the windows are wrong and the cab hieght is also wrong so we'll fix that now.... here the window has been corrected , I removed the post in the window and I also reshaped it i also added 5 scale inches to the bottom of the cab. Not quit done yet but its better the front window had a seperator in the middle also so i removed it , here I have the sleeper that came with the kit ready to be modified This section had to be cut out because the more modern sleepers are intergrated onto the cab..... See where Im going??? nice work but i would have started with the amt t600 cob so you had the bunk and curved windshield..
Dr. Cranky Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Looking real good, keep taking your CRANKY VITAMINS and keep it going, please.
Romell R Posted May 13, 2011 Author Posted May 13, 2011 ok fellas im back at it and its official ! I guess the first thing I need to do is show you where the wrecker is as of right now! as you can see its in bad shape i have some broken parts and some missing parts , but all is not lost im gonna start by cleaning it all up and taking a good inventory of whats here and whats not. then im gonna start putting the cab interior together. ok so here are a few more pics to kinda get you up to speed. oh and sorry ive been gone so long but its good to be back!
Tumbler75 Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Glad to see the master is back at work on his sculpture! Can't wait to see more on this awesome project! Don't keep us waiting so long next time. LoL
crazyjim Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Oh yes. Glad you're back Rommel and continuing this build. I asked about in your Chevelle post.
MoparWoman Jamie Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Oh yes. Glad you're back Rommel and continuing this build. I asked about in your Chevelle post. I agree, it's good to see an old friend back with us once again. Rommel, I was starting to think that the earth had eaten you up.
stewart Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Yes!!! I have been waiting for ages for you to start this one up again Rommel. Looks amazing. STewart
Romell R Posted May 14, 2011 Author Posted May 14, 2011 Ok heres my first official post in almost a year (i think) anyway let me see if i can remember how this goes. I wanted to work on something easy to get me inspired again (that failed misserably) so i started on the interior. I was gonna do it basic and simple (that never seems to happen for me) but i ended up putting woodgrain in it. here are a few pics of the start of things..... I hope you enjoy. heres some of the materials i used. what i did was to just make an ovelay of what was included in the kit. now all thats left is to sand , stain and shalack.......
charlie8575 Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Brilliant idea to use veneer like that, Romell. I was just thinking that would look good on a woody wagon. This is an amazing piece of work you'd done. Charlie Larkin
highway Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Romell, glad to see you back!! The cabinets are looking great, where did you get the wood from?
Clutch Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Wow! Just gone through the whole build and I'm completely amazed. You do some very nice work.
evilone Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 nice is that wood vener? where did you get it that small?
