alangarber Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Got this as part of a trade. Hoping to make the Snowman truck. I have a little demolition done to it. Redo the tanks and build another step .
Old Buckaroo Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Nice, another build of one of my favorite trucks to distract me from my projects. I liked the original decals that were on this truck - any idea what version they came with ?
Chris guthro Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Very cool! Can't wait to see the paint scheme laid out!

scummy Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) Those decals ,i think by the way it dips in the middle at the top its from a peterbilt . AMT'S W model is my favourite truck so i will be watching this job . Edited February 9, 2014 by scummy
slusher Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Great plan for this build, love the snowman truck...
alangarber Posted February 9, 2014 Author Posted February 9, 2014 Well I had the weekend to do some more. Nothing fancy because the frame ect were so glued tight I couldn't seperate it without destroying it.. So it just had a new paint job. Then built the other side step, painted and cleared the cab, hood and sleeper.I came out with a nice shine. Now it's just minor work to do and wait for the decals to arrive.
alangarber Posted February 9, 2014 Author Posted February 9, 2014 For some reason the pics didn't show. everytime I try to load a pic it's saying file too big. They are the same as the others I put on here so I don't know why they are too big.
scummy Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Next time if you soak any built part in water and then put it in the freezer , as the water freezers it will pull the bits apart mate .

alangarber Posted February 11, 2014 Author Posted February 11, 2014 Trying to load more pics and it won't. It tells me all files are too big. But they are the same size as I loaded before.
clayton Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Trying to load more pics and it won't. It tells me all files are too big. But they are the same size as I loaded before. use a host site like photobuket.com the board will let you have about 6 photos then it is full.
alangarber Posted February 11, 2014 Author Posted February 11, 2014 Got one smaller to load but the second same size won't
txdieseldog Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Alright Alan!!!!! You figured out the pictures. Looks good too.
alangarber Posted February 13, 2014 Author Posted February 13, 2014 Thanks as soon as my decals show and I add the rest I'll post the finished truck and a better pic
