Pete 352 Monochrome Blue

[fantacmet]

I WAS doing this up as the Patriot version. Felt like keeping the blue chassis, but didn't like the way the decals came out. So stripped it in some Super Clean, and decided on a monochrome paint scheme. The interior is model master Fabric Tan. Tanks will be the same blue. Just about everything will be on the exterior except for the chrome and a few small bits. Frame is stretched, but not by much. 2 feet maybe. Don't really remember, and I have it all painted over now. One piece smoothy deck plate(DUH).

The blue is plain old Rustoleum enamel.

After looking at the pic I missed a few spots with the blue, but that shall be rectified.

Well it's kind of poor progress, but here are some progress pics.

The stretch looks cool. The tan interior looks cool with this color blue.

Hopefully I'll be able to get it done soon but I'm not going to hold my breath. I go in for my DOT physical tomorrow and for my CDL Permit test as well. After that I'll be leaving after a few days into next month.

Nothing poor about this start.....I like the way you set the Pete and old 40' trailer on the back of that Moebius.....Shows how much more cargo can be transported these days.....Even with the stretch, it struggles to be any longer than the 53'er.....(What it wants to be when it grows up)

Thanks for all the words. I don't have the drive test tomorrow, just the permit exams. All I need to do is pass those(I should be fine I've been conssitantly above 95% on practice exams with many 100's, and only a couple of abysmals a couple of times because I was half asleep), pass my physical, and pass a week of orientation and I'll be trying to find a way to get to phoenix, early next month. If I time it all right I want my orientation to start on June 1, and then 1 week later be in Phoenix, I just hope they start a new training class each week instead of every 2, or I may end up with not enough money.

Didn't QUITE make the physical just BARELY got squeaked out, going back in almost 2 weeks. BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH job I'm sitting at now has done it to me.
