Looking good!

I’m guessing a lot of you are like me, not much bench time in good weather, between yard work, golf, and just enjoying being outside, the model bench and I are estranged in the summer months. But, as much as I hate to say it, summer will be over soon, and build season will be in full force. I have a few rig builds in mind for this ‘season’, one of them is a transtar 2 COE with a trailer similar to the box art ( have all parts for that other than the ‘canvas’ top), and I picked up a resin mack coe cab from AITM while at NNL east this past April, trailer undecided on for that one so far, and possibly the revell Pete 359 tri axle wrecker, along with some car/pick up builds.

What’ve you all got planned to get ya thru another winter?

Nice color combo, and dig the slant 6

Don’t know why, but I love the look of these rigs, have a couple in the stash, suppose I should actually build one someday, haha.

What a bruiser! Cool build, looks all business.

That’s too cool!

Good looking project, engine details look sweet!

Looking good, I bet that red and silver are really gonna pop in some sunlight 

Yes, I wanted it to look more business like, so ditched most of the shiny stuff. Great kit though.

Thanks guys. The trailer sides are covered in tin foil....., way cheaper than bmf for that large an area, lol.

Thanks guys, it’s one of my favorite builds.

Finally got some outside pics

Welcome aboard, looking forward to seeing your builds.

Great looking build😎

Welcome aboard, look forward to seeing your builds.

Yes to all of it, lol. Old molds , nothing fits quite right and instructions are so/so . Lots of test fitting , filing and sanding required. The Astro /Titan cabs sit way too high. I know, great help huh? But these kits require some patience, but can make for a beautiful build when done.

Oh yeah😎

That’s a great build, I don’t see a lot of these trucks built.

Welcome to another familiar ‘face’😎.  Ya, I have more rig kits than I’ll ever build, but, better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it....( ya, I have a plastic addiction....)

Welcome, good to see we are all finding our way here😎

I’ll admit, I may not always post in your topics, but I always look at them. Your skills and level of detail just blows me away on all of your builds. Another fantastic build, always a pleasure to follow and to absorb the finished product. 

Thanks everyone, and I do seem to have a flair for color combo’s, lol. I usually start every build by painting the body first , once I figure the colors and get it in paint, it keeps me motivated to finish the build.

I’m a hoarder I suppose, lol. Going to NNL east in April, so I’m sure the stash will grow a bit here shortly ......

Yeah, I’m around 800+ kits.....

That’s just too cool!
