Something I have not done in a long time...

Testing cab fit. Need some touch up. The hard part is making the model all spit shine and brand new looking then weathering all your work for some realism. I hope to have the cab finished by the weekend. Then I start on the flatbed. The 1940 Ford Coupe will be a wrecker on my flat bed.

. I've got tons of projects that I need to finish. Have fun.

It has been a long time for me in making a model. The smell of paint and glue bring back fond memories of making models. It also brought back memories of the store calling my house to let my parents know I was buying model glue. Back in the day it was top choice for the glue sniffers.

Once the store owner got the ok from my pop I could get the glue.

Oh man, you know it's been over twenty years since I opened the box? The last model I built was a 1/48 Apache Longbow, and never got around to painting it.

That truck's looking good, AVG.

Tractor is complete. Will weather it later. Working on the flat bed right now.

Great job on the truck! I love building models. My favorite types to build have always been ships. I threw most of the ones out that I did as a kid. I did a 1965 Dodge Coronet 500 last year as well as the USS Constitution. I also fixed up an old tugboat my grandfather had given me many years ago. I'd love to build another model, but I can't justify the cost anymore. When you get everything you need plus the model it gets pretty expensive.

It is expensive. The initial cost of paints sucks but there is enough to do several models. This spreads the cost out for materials and makes it much easier to accept the entire cost. I probably spent $30.00 in materials. I can get two or three other models out of what have. In fact, I purchased a 1:25 scale Buick Wildcat to build. All I need is the paint for the body of the car. I have everything else.
