Done! I posted a few other shots in the "Model Truck Show Room".

Looks great! I like that you chose to paint the cab and frame the same color. Nice and clean as always.

Very Cool! 88 decals from the Dale Jarret Thunderbird?

Thanks. I'll file that away for future use.

Very nice. I want to build a lowboy myself. Can anyone provide a source for blueprints, etc.?

I think my uncle had one of these years back. From what I remember, it had the same hood and stand up sleeper. Could it have been an AT64F? He still talks about it and how he wishes he had kept it. --Casey

Can't wait to see where this one goes.

Both are looking great! A few questions if you don't mind... Do you paint with an airbrush or a rattle can? On the GATR racer, What did you make the exhaust pipes from? And the stack clamps? --Casey

All, I just upgraded the site's software. Hopefully it will fix the intermittent server connection issues that we have been experiencing. Please let me know how it's working/if you are experiencing any issues. Thanks! Casey

I've been side tracked for a bit building a deck on my house but I have made some progress on this build (5th wheel is just sitting there...crooked but not glued ).

Looks great either way in my opinion. I hate taking photos of models. My photography skill (or lack there of) never does them justice.

The louvers are looking awesome. This model just keeps getting cooler.

As you can see we are just getting started but with some behind the scenes work from the MTB staff and little help from you, we hope to make CHN the go to web site for the truck modeling community! Since we are asking for “a little help” from you, we thought it only fair that explain why there is room in the truck modeling community for a new site and what our plans are for the site. As you browse the web, you will find a few modeling magazine websites, some individual truck builder websites and several social media website relating to model truck building. We have been visiting them for years and they each have merit. However, they do have their drawbacks. Magazine websites predominately focus on models other than trucks and typically have a small truck section at best, individual truck builder sites are most often centered around one builder and do not allow others to join the fun, and with social media sites it can be very difficult to impossible to find old user posts. We are not looking to replace these sites and we realize that it would be impossible to offer everything that they do collectively. However, we do intend provide many of the same options and most importantly, we hope to provide several that they do not. MTB will focus solely on model trucks. While many details are still to be ironed-out, below are several of the features we intend to provide. Registered members will be allowed to create and reply to posts in the forums, participate in live chat, send private messages to other members, view/download gallery images, view/download hosted files, more. Forums: finished model show room, WIP workbench, tips and tricks, reference discussion, general discussion and more. Galleries: model truck gallery, reference image gallery and more. Downloads: Kit instructions, decal designs, and more. Personal Blogs for those who wish to chronicle their builds. Personal Gallery for those who wish to show off their WIP/finished project images. And you guessed it, much more… Based on the info above, we hope that you will jump in, join the fun and help us grow MTB.com. Please visit frequently, join the discussion and tell your friends to stop by for a visit! --Casey

I'm really digging this one. With the headlights and all the rounded edges on the hood, it reminds me of a 50's pick-up truck.

Looking good CB. Will that hood fit other ROG 359s?
