I have the mirrors installed and the rest of the weathering done. It is time to sit on the shelf and collect dust.

Mr. Dave- Another BREATHTAKING model done by you, I absolutely love this one. I'd have to say that this is definetly the best weathering job I've ever seen, and if its not...darned near close.
how long did it take you to build this?
you cease to amaze me with your models.

outstanding

Thanks Shain, It took me about a week to build this one. You have to remember that I spend at least 8 hours a day building these. So I guess it is relevant with all you guys build. I am lucky that this is my full time job now. Between teaching modeling and building and being on the Big A, I guess life is good for me.

Cliff Thanks Bro that is a very nice compliment coming from the Master. Thanks again. I have learned a lot from you.

Animal I too have learnt a lot from you and a lot of others here on the big A. I, unfortunately, cannot because of health build for 8 hours a day but between you, me and a lot of others here we build a lot of truck models in different periods and they are all excellent works of art.

That looks nice, the weathering of the vehicle is great.

I agree with that, and I still watch those models with my mouth wide open.

Greetz Rob!

Nice truck.

I like the sand on the back of the truck.
Is the ground work the base of a dio??
Nice rusty look.. Further nothing to add

Thanks I placed each grain of sand one at a time...not! :-)
The ground work is not for a dio. It is an old base that I use to paint on or to dust and weather on.
