phantomfan Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 I managed to create an account and upload 12 pictures of my Freightliner to my photobucket album. How do I share with the rest of you???? Not sure how to link anything or where to go from here. Photobucket gave me the following: http://s1186.photobucket.com/albums/z374/JHunt29/IPMS%20Truck Maybe this will work. Any feedback is appreciated....as you can see, I'm not much of a computer person. Thanks. Jeff
phantomfan Posted October 6, 2011 Author Posted October 6, 2011 Sorry.....the password is: Bella1213 That should do it.
QCDOC Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Any feedback is appreciated....as you can see, I'm not much of a computer person. Thanks. Jeff I guess.

phantomfan Posted October 6, 2011 Author Posted October 6, 2011 Thanks Jim B for the help in posting some of the pics for me and you as well Clayton....I tried to copy as you mentioned..not sure if it worked. I appreciate the feedback and kind words from you all (thanks for your help Ben several months back with my wiring questions...this was my first truck build, but rather have been building airplanes/tanks etc...for myself, private collectors and general commission work for many years...it's too bad the interior pics I took didn't turn out, they were not worth posting. I should have taken some pics of the engine..oh well. I forgot to mention in the previous posts that most of the fifth wheel and it's "mechanisms" are scratchbuilt using actual photos as a reference. Like all of my pieces, I wanted the truck to be accurate and look realistic (used). I'd like to find a home for it as I don't have much room in my curio cabinet.
catd11rpusher Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Out standing work on the glad hands of the airlines, also the springs that control kinking are very nice. Are those custum made are can you get that stuff? also the wiring is all custum? Beautiful job I'm in shock on the detail NICE WORK!!
phantomfan Posted October 6, 2011 Author Posted October 6, 2011 Thanks for the kind words. Yes, the glad hands and the springs to control kinking were made by me. I used styrene to make the glad hands (using reference photos) and the springs were made from wire. All of the wiring I did myself using various gauge solder wire, and reference photos. Were you able to see all of the pics through photobucket or only the ones generously posted by Jim B? If you are interested in other photos, shoot me an email, jhunt1509@comcast.net , and I can send you some. I'm going to take pics of the engine and underneath, showing the fuel lines etc as well as other misc. wiring and the scratchbuilt interior.
Repstock Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 Your original link should work now. Nice work!

BigBad Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 That is a great job! Everything looks so real, great weathering! May I ask you what kind of hinge you're using for the cab door???
Turbo590 Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 That is a great job! Everything looks so real, great weathering! May I ask you what kind of hinge you're using for the cab door??? Robert.... You may want to consider the Model Car Garage "Big Rig/Piano Photo etch" hinges... A link to Ebay... http://www.ebay.com/itm/MCG2204-Big-Rigs-Piano-Hinges-Photo-Etched-1-24-1-25-/270371892167 Or you can go to the Model Car Garage website direct... http://www.modelcargarage.com/ Here is the product used on my HD FLC I did a few years ago, Kurt
ewaskew Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 Very good build Air line detail looks real nice
phantomfan Posted October 8, 2011 Author Posted October 8, 2011 Thanks Kurt. I could've used the piano hinges like you, but decided not to. It probably would''ve shown better. The door is just glued in the open position, nothing special about it. This was my first truck build so I'm still learning. I've been mainly building aircraft, aircraft dioramas and some armor stuff. I'm liking the trucks though!
Turbo590 Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 Jeff, For your first truck, you did do an awesome job.... Kurt
