You have done some great detail work Robert. Really making this truck stand out.
It is kind of funny the best detail my builds get is no glue on the windows ;D

Thanks Dave, hope to have gold paint on at least the cab soon. Windjammer made from spare kit part (guessing Road Boss but not 100% sure) sanded smooth & rounded off with styrene box on back side. Cab roof brackets soldered from brass tube (one side milled off tube to make channel) and 1/64" strip. Rivet heads are Tichy Train Group .025 rivets, nut/bolt/washer castings are Grandt Line. Stack brackets also made from styrene strip & n/b/w castings, window gasket painted black and will be masked for gold finish paint on cab.   |

Robert,
The details that you are creating,are amazing!! I think this one qualifies you as a Master Modeler! I know you would surely win in any contested you entered it in.
Be Well

Thanks Gator, will see how this one fares later in the season! A little more progress tonight after some work with the CAD program and printer. Close up of door, Bare Metal Foil on handle and door trim. Decals turned out OK after a couple false starts on the coins. They have just been applied here, setting solution and clear still to follow.  |
