Chaser Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Didn't get the arch I wanted in the trailer,will work on that with the next one. I'll just say it got a heavy load load on it.LOL
Petetrucker07 Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) That looks just like Vinnies truck. Awesome work. Ive seen the 1:1 in person, this is a very much like it. Beautiful like the rest of your builds. Your gonna need bigger ledge to display them. I hope the 379 im gonna build comes out lookin as good as this, mine is a 1:1 inspired build.

Petetrucker07 Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) I just noticed you even got the tribute to Jake Eilen on the back. Your attention to detail is amazing! Cant stop lookin at it. Edited October 13, 2014 by Petetrucker07
Chaser Posted October 13, 2014 Author Posted October 13, 2014 Thanks guys, really appreciate it! Petertrucker07, yes I'm gonna need a bigger ledge to put them on. My wife says I gotta fine a new place to put them, so that will probably happen frist. Lol yes I did the stickers on the steps and the jack eilen on the back. They didn't turn very good that was the fourth set I did. My printer isn't very good si I need to upgrade that. KJ790 the canvas is a trash bag that I heat shrank it to get it tight.
Sam I Am Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 That is just WOW !! Have you ever tried Monocote ? Its the RC airplane fuselage covering. Comes in lots of different colors and shrinks tight with heat.
Chaser Posted October 13, 2014 Author Posted October 13, 2014 No I haven't Sam I Am. I would be interested in though do you have a link? Thanks for the info have to check into it
Sam I Am Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Just look in Tower Hobbies RC plane section, and I am sure that youtube has plenty of how to's. lol
Chaser Posted October 13, 2014 Author Posted October 13, 2014 Found it and that's what I was looking for different colors! That's awesome thank you!!
Petetrucker07 Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) Yeah, now you can build Vinnies blue pete, NV'd. Oh cant forget the his new orange pete Edited October 13, 2014 by Petetrucker07
Sam I Am Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 I am glad that I can contribute. I sure have received a LOT from this place.
Brinx Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 I like the stripe and sign work especially. Heat-shrinking trash bag for a trailer covering....simply brilliant! (going to "tarp" a flatbed load using your method, hope I can get results as nice as yours). Overall, very nice rig.
kilrathy10 Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 I know I'm diggin' this one.....Luvin' the orange, too.....Very nice work.....MAN, this is good !!! Totally like what you did with the sleeper, and that trash bag is done very well.....I might just have to try that.....Being on a budget, that's right up my alley.....
Sam I Am Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 The Monocote is not very expensive. You cut it to size, press it down on the sub-structure, and then lightly hit it with the heat. Shrinks, and tightens up real sweet..
Chaser Posted October 13, 2014 Author Posted October 13, 2014 Yes I'm on a roman noodle budget lol. At least I feel like she got me on one! Thanks again guys. I've learn a lot off here too it's great.
Chris White Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) wow love that mean low and long look Edited October 13, 2014 by Chris White
Kostas Parchas Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 What a nice rig!!! A hard working show truck!!! Well done!!!! Kostas.
