muminvater Posted May 27, 2023 Author Share Posted May 27, 2023 Wow! Just WOW! I am continually amazed at the attention to detail. So very good. I LOVE IT! Hi to you, it finally comes to an end and after all these years it is time to. I aks myself: what happens to the parts while lying in the shelf and waiting for assembling? Before parking in the shelf, the parts all fit together. Now, after coating (no heat input) there were some parts, which have a complete different shape or contour. The right door for exaple, had to be deformed under heat til it fits to the body shape. I don´t understand That were the days, when I rather like to push it into the trash can. However, the rubber in outer trimline is applied and I changed the decals. In the last post, I told you from the deasaster with the copy shops and that at last, I printed them by myself. But they weren´t convincing: they looked too papery. So I took the one of the copy shop which was in a too large scale. For to finish complete, I have marry the body with the chassis frame. An easy task, you should say. But the devil is a squirrel!! I´m sure something unplanned will happen greetings, Tobias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muminvater Posted May 29, 2023 Author Share Posted May 29, 2023 ... Makes the models I've done look cheap. don´t worry and think of the time it took to build it in this way. It´s about 9 years or so. But now, it was time for finishing. Finally, I´m uploading up some pics of the completed truck, taken in my garden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The attention to detail is far beyond anything I've seen or done. The decals, the Pennsylvania tag, the spray on the windows, etc. It looks like it is fresh from a trip with rain & spray from the road. WELL DONE!!!! :nabble_anim_claps::nabble_anim_claps::nabble_anim_claps::nabble_anim_claps::nabble_anim_claps::nabble_anim_claps::nabble_anim_claps::nabble_anim_claps::nabble_anim_claps::nabble_anim_claps::nabble_anim_claps::nabble_anim_claps::nabble_anim_claps::nabble_anim_claps::nabble_anim_claps::nabble_anim_claps: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
