keone2013 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Question - where's a good source for the reflective tape seen on truck sides?maybe called DOT stripe? Sorry for the dumb question, but I'm still learning I got mine off of EBay. Or Line-o-tape.com
gotnitro? Posted January 22, 2015 Author Posted January 22, 2015 Thanks! Glad I asked, that will add another dimension to the build.
KJ790 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Yup, Line-O tape is what I use, looks great! This is a great looking build by the way Jeff. I can't wait to see it finished!
Mopar - D Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I use the same tape too Jeff. How about some more pictures I'm looking forward to see what you have done lately on it.
gotnitro? Posted January 23, 2015 Author Posted January 23, 2015 I'm working on the paint currently for the cab and hood. This wknd I'll have more updates, thanks for following along and the great feedback.Found the Line o Tape thru mega hobbies, just waiting for arrival. Hey KJ thanks for looking in! I gotta contact you about some wheels
vincen47 Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Wow Wow Wow. I'm really impressed. Keep it up!
gatorincebu Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Cool build, with lots of neat tricks being used on it! Be Well Gator
gotnitro? Posted February 2, 2015 Author Posted February 2, 2015 Thanks, I promised pics of the paint. .and I won't disappoint!
gotnitro? Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 As promised..ITS PAINTED !!!! well, almost. The truck needed several layers , akin to a camo scheme , to achieve the final look. The silver is MM aluminum, chrome is Alclad, and the black is Tamiya lacquer . JT should love the stripes..heard he has a thing for orange! Its testors International orange..fitting for the Lonestar. Heres the pics.. laying down the stripes..time consuming, but better than a decal in my eyes.. If your planning to model the HD, you'll need to change the side panels on the hood. I filed the kit panels , then layed thin .010 strips for the new sides. These received a coat of Alclad chrome. Well, thats it for today !
gotnitro? Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 OH !! Just heard the fenders,and bumper are done, should have them soon for installation! I can't wait to see them on the truck
Tesla Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 The paint job came out great and looks right at home on this....nice work!
Superpeterbilt Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Looking great. The paint looks perfect.
