Chuck Most Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Very nice metal work! This is the first time I've seen anyone do a stock-style bumper in metal.
Sticks Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Unbelievable...just fantastic work. Well done. Cant wait to see this finished.
Sergey Posted February 3, 2012 Author Posted February 3, 2012 Did you chrome them with Alclad? Yes Jim. This is Alclad. Thank you, friends for your comments!
mistermodel Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 very very nice sergey !!! that doen't even begin
Tony Bryan Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Sergey, now that is taking it up a level or two, the detail is just amazing, keep up the great work
Truck parts Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 That is outstanding work you have going on there
Sergey Posted February 13, 2012 Author Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Update. Finally have painted the cab. The paint that I used half year ago, have dried. So I bought fresh one. It's - Mobihel "Moulin Rouge": Masking I guess I brushed too much layers. It's too dark. What do you thing? BMF is too old. And some areas haven't stick well. So the cab needs some work. Edited October 29, 2014 by Sergey
Sergey Posted February 13, 2012 Author Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Altering the interrior tub. Extended the flor and glued the frame + added rivets down under. Next I cut out side walls of tub to move them closer to cab walls. By the way: what should I do to upload more then 5 photos at once? Edited October 29, 2014 by Sergey
Jim B Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Masking with BMF? Never thought of that. Expensive, but effective. Nice job on the cab & tub. I don't think there is much you can do to post more that five pics at a time. It's a new Forum setting.
62rebel Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 i am overwhelmed by your dedication to scale fidelity and craftsmanship. a hundred and twenty years ago you'd have been working for Faberge making eggs for the Romanovs......
clayton Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Use a host server like Photobuket or Fotki.
Guest Jethro Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 This is good stuff! Tucker likes alot. This makes me want to build somthin.
donkeypuncher76 Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 I am watching convoy on netflix as i post, sitting at the desk painting engine parts for my amt freightliner coe. Needed some referance pics as the instructions are blah, and I see this! That is some of the best engineering in our little world I have ever seen, bravo Sergy, you guys may laugh but if your base coat is plenty dry, like a week I just tried scotch tape on my 57 rodster 2tone as long as you peel it away right after shooting it works good 4 me, also thin blue mask from auto body supply works good. I am looking at this almost done truck and am sick after seeing this piece of art. Motivation I guess. thanks for all the steps on the custom parts also, will be using that shock idea.
Cruzcontrol Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 Wow, your workmanship is fantastic!! Thank you for the effort you have taken posting all of those pictures. They are very informative. Can't wait to see more. Gary.
MoparWoman Jamie Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 This build has been very imperational to me, it makes me want to get more done on my friend's build as well. Great work you have done here on your build!
Sergey Posted October 22, 2012 Author Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) Hey guys! I was busy last half of year, but now I'm ready to finish this project. I stuck with the gear shift. Can anyone tell me - where are transmission air valve and transmission shift cylinder can locate on this gear shift? Edited October 22, 2012 by Sergey
72 Charger Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 Wow you are a true master Sergey do you have an update ? I dont know which bit I love the most ! All of it I guess . I want to do pig pens rig to go with the duck Doobie
Ironman63 Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 That is some INSANE detail, Sergey! Awesome!
Sergey Posted October 26, 2012 Author Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) Thank you, friends! Were made cutouts for door hinges and a cramp down under (left arrow)for steering wheel column: Here you can see aluminium mudflaps abowe wheel arc: They were made from styrene. Here are rear mudflaps: I also made door post around the periphery doorway Edited October 29, 2014 by Sergey
Sergey Posted October 26, 2012 Author Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) The wheels were to narrow some places. I used tissue paper to "pump" tyres up. Note that a tyre on the right is too gloss. The left one is treated with tooth paste. Here you can see the difference between left and right tyres on disks: That's how I made new wind screen: the old one was too thick. Edited October 29, 2014 by Sergey
griffin Posted October 27, 2012 Posted October 27, 2012 Nice work on the tyres, never heard the use of toothpaste for this. Will try that next model too. Gr christiaan
Tony Bryan Posted October 29, 2012 Posted October 29, 2012 Sergey Glad to see you are back onto this, look forward to seeing it all come together as there is some remarkable detail being added to your amazing build,
