Double-Take Replicas


Recommended Posts

Got some new goodies today! Need some tweaking still, but the basis for the master is coming along. This is made to fit directly onto the Revell snap kit chassis (except the front of the frame needs to be stretched for the longer hood). The interior also fits this new cab. The new dash needs to be tweaked, as it doesn't fit the Revell tub as well as I want it to. I also have battery boxes, air cleaners, sun visor, and rear cab extenders. I'm hoping I can have this all set early next year.

I also posted an image of the Freightliner Century last week. Here is it's brother, the Columbia. Which would people rather see become avalable in the future?

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!! :lol: Of course, that will be once I have some extra! :lol:

On the Freightshakers, any plans for a Cascadia so I could maybe build my 1:1??

Dammit boy. ThatKW looks awesome. Are you gonna offer the hood as a conversion?

I personally prefer the columbia more than the century

If all goes as planned, I would consider selling the hood as a conversion. It is made to fit with the curved cowl cab of the AMT T600 as well.

I actually do have plans for a Cascadia. I have been working on it on and off for the last few weeks. I hope to have a drawing finished up in a month of so.

Thanks Clayton! I wanted to update everyone, I have been in the process of remastering all of my rims to make them fit even better with kit tires. My new 24.5" 2-hole rims, 1/24 scale 2-hole rims, 22.5" 2-hole rims, and 22.5" 5-hole rims are in stock now!

If you didn't know, ALPS discontinued production of their printers in 2010, and cartridges are supposed to be discontinued in 2015. That is one of the reasons I moved away from the ALPS, not to mention the cost of getting them repaired. thankfully I found something a lot more durable and still prints white.

There is a company making ALPS Cartridges now. Can't remember who. You can Also find ALPS printers under the Okidata name, but again discontinued, though parts are being made.

However I'm interested to know what you found that prints the white?
