Dodge L700 Garbage Truck
By Cornbinder · PostedFound some more ugly green. Decided why not use it for the engine 🤣 Here it is tucked into place. Work has begun on the interior. Basic cab will be weathered off white. -
A fleet of Freightliner COEs - AMT
By 02fusoFG · PostedIt was much easier and quicker to use the PE part above than cutting out the grill detail on this cab.
This experience will certainly make me think twice before trying to do a whole radiator.
The third window is added to a short cab. PE window gaskets applied.
Using a sanding sheet taped to a flat surface greatly improved the problematic cab seam. -

By Gary Chase · PostedYou are correct, color really works , weathering adds to it nicely. -
AMT Peterbilt 352
By 02fusoFG · PostedI used the white number decals, didn't like them so added the black ones over the top to look like shadow lettering. -
AMT Peterbilt 352
By 02fusoFG · PostedThe frame gets some weathering.
Added headlight bezels, which was a mistake to do so after paint.
I tried to remove the orange peel on the cab with Tamiya compound paste. It is well hidden if the lighting and camera angle are right. -
Dodge L700 Garbage Truck
By Cornbinder · PostedA few days ago I started piddling around with the Garwood 900 packer from the AMT. The inspiration began with finding a can of Rust-Oleum Satin Moss Green in the garage. It was a rather nasty shade of green and I thought it would look good in a garbage truck. Obviously it needed a little corrosion and grime. To that end, I attacked it with Vallejo acrylics and Doc O'Brien weathering powder. I also used some old Line-O reflective tape, though unfortunately the dull clear coat kinda diminished the reflectivity. Here you see the flasher, and the winch cable made from leader line, a 1:35 scale block, and a couple of parts box hooks. This afternoon I dug out the Dodge kit, and stretched the wheelbase by cutting the Dodge chassis and grafting on the rear portion of the Ford chassis. -
New Revell Snap W900
By Jersee Jerry55 · PostedOkay so this project was put away for awhile but I just pulled her out again, this morning. Paint was laid down last year. This build is an outside my normal box that I do with truck kits. Should have maybe 80% of her done by EOD on Sunday. Will post pics at that point on my progress. Going out on a limb as I believe this may be the best "snap together" I've ever done. I love these kits. -
