bismarck Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 That is one GREAT looking rig Al. You can be proud of that one!!!
weirich1 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Turned out fabulous. Great color choice. Really dig the decal over the sleeper window. Wish it wasn't still winter in Ohio so I could get the paint on mine.
olsbooks Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) It dont matter too much how you get from your elbow to your thumb....just get there using that God given brain and the resources He has placed before you. OUTSTANDING! Now, making it all about me, swing over to the gold nugget 1/16 project on the workbench thread and set my hopeless heroes straight on how to pull off a paint job like that!

explorer2770 Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 Nicely done sir. Make sure to let us know how you do at the contest.
Porscheman Posted February 22, 2014 Author Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Thanks guys for keeping me going. My truck came in 3rd out of 19 Big Rigs. For someone who doesn't buid trucks, I'm very happy with its placement. And to think, I was going to through this in the trash on Wednesday. I couldn't have done it without you.

Porscheman Posted February 22, 2014 Author Posted February 22, 2014 Come on... I was looking for parts and pieces!?! I think that JT turned on the lights for you to complete this truck. You have done great job so far, classic color combo, nice paint job, so FIGHT IT and beat it, don't let it beat you. Kostas. PS. Is that Mercedes in 1/24 scale? Can you please post some photos of it. It is looking great too!!! When I can't the final assembly to go together, it'sa failure to me. But it all worked out great. Now for your Mercedes 600. It's an AutoArt 1:18 featuring real leather interior with cloth privacy curtains, beautifully detailed engine and a 6 peice removable luggage set in trunk. A pride and joy in my collection. Al
