kilrathy10 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) Well, Boys, I finally finished this thing.....There may be a little touchup to the trailer interior to be done, but it's mostly done.....I kinda wanna get started on something else, now.....Not that I'm bored with it, but I have a LOT of trucks to build.....If The Lord lets me live till I'm about 137, I think I'll get them all done..... Anyway, a few of you are familiar with this build, but for those who are not, I built this to "replicate" a truck that I see every day on my way to work......With a few added touches of my own, of course..... I gotta say.....Jerry's decals http://modeltruckin.com are the best I've ever seen.....Real high quality stuff, Boys.....Need some more of those..... Other than those, I stretched the frame, made my own fuel tanks, tool boxes/APU, and used jewels from HL for marker lights.....Some double diamond plate was added to the wheel wells and front portion of the trailer.....It just seemed like the thing to do..... I hope you boys enjoy it as much as I had fun building it..... Here it is with the fleet.....

Petetrucker07 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Looks great JT. The fleet looks great. Im sure whatever you start next will get the standard "treatment" and look right at home with the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trick my mixer Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Super nice work JT!!!!! The only thing you need to make them look like real bedbuggers is a box of ritz crackers and bag of Doritos on the dash. LOL!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72 Charger Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Those decals are looking realy good there is no bleed though the white top quality I would say . What chrome paint is that ,is it alclad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brinx Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Great looking bugger JT! You've brought The old-school Kentucy, drom and Freightshaker together perfectly. The driver and his "helper" bring it to life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilrathy10 Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) These are all the paints I used for this one, Dave.....I used the Silver Foil Metallic for everything.....Looks good, huh?? And in ONE step....Paint it and walk away....And thanks, Mike.....I love those little figures....

72 Charger Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Im not sure we can get those Krylon paints in the UK . It sure does give Alclad a run for its money . Do you use gloss black under it first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilrathy10 Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) It will, actually, luster like that either way.....With or without primer.....Sprayed the trailer with it right over the orange.....Not like other paints, as it coats very well, and best applied in one coat.....Excellent stuff....
