DANG !Stick out tongue

If you do that to a model, I can just imagine how many buffed coats of paint you would put on a real truck ! Surprise

Im quite certain there are REAL trucks out there that'd be ashamed to park anywhere near this baby.  Beautiful!

Thanks Spruece and Allan!

When I took this build on I already had in my head how it was going to look as far as stance is concerned. The paint....well....that was a surprise even to me. lol

Wow Joe, looks ready to run down the strip man! Your attention to detail is great. I think sometimes it helps most to be able to have an image in your mind of the end results.

Thanks Crown, Steve and Eric!

Eric: You're right about the vision. I'm finding that I'm better at finding what I want out of automotive builds from the "get-go" than I was from aircraft. It's also fun for me to let a custom build run itself rather than following a set pattern for replicated builds. Once I start I don't know where the hell its gonna end up at. lol

Hello Joe!

Congratulations on a great completed build! It's looking very beautiful, and it's one of a kind! - an artwork. I know good models take time to complete, but now - here it is! Thanks for sharing and have a nice day!

Paweł

All comments and critique welcomed. Thanks for your honest opinions!
