[Mackvision]

Hello all! new here,but thought I would post some pics of my current "get my feet wet" project after a 30 year hiatus from the hobby,i am looking forward to learning some new tips and techniques................Mark

[Jim B]

That interior looks great! I think we can get some tips & techniques from you!

[Old Buckaroo]

Yeah I am with Jim, nice interior work and I am equally impressed with your front wheels.

Thanks for sharing.

[slusher]

Looking great Mark..

[Scalper]

I like the red frame. looks good

[Mackvision]

Thanks guys! it's coming back to me slowly but surely! still quite a bit to do,i wasn't at all satisfied with the way the "fender extensions" looked,so I did some bodywork on the hood for a more one piece look. Cab and hood are almost ready for paint,then just final assembly............got a lot of catching up to do,thats for sure!..............Mark

[tbill]

you got it covered! looking great so far!

[Mackvision]

Fit the hood before the cab and adjust the cab position according to the installed hood!!! Otherwise, nice start!

Same here...very nice! You haven't lost any touch over the 30 years by the look of it...awesome work.

Thanks guys! Cappy,I did the gauge bezels using Testors Chrome Silver (drybrushed) and then did the back faces with Flat black craft paint,then I carefully scraped away the paint from the dials and needles with an X-Acto knife,next step was to add some Neon green (also craft paint) to the numerals,Neon red to the needles with a sharpened toothpick. Then a dab of clear epoxy to seal everything up. I invested in a good amount of craft paints in various colors,personally I like the stuff for certain things,its cheap,goes on nice,and very forgiving with any mishaps!...............................Mark

[Mackvision]

Got some more engine/drivetrain detailing done,as well as cab and hood in paint,i will try and post some pictures later this week................................Mark

[Old Buckaroo]

Mark - I really like the way you did the rear wheels.

[Mackvision]

Thank you Sean,closing in on finishing the Road Boss,just need some bench time! I am now starting to get some materials together for my White-Freightliner C.O.E project. Some fantastic work on this site! and some really good ideas and tips too! Personally I prefer the "real" looking working truck themes,but we sure have some talented custom guys as well! I will update the "Boss" asap!..............................Mark

[RoadbossJammer]

looks really nice. for some reason on mine I had problems with the rear metal axles being too long. great detail work by the way.

[csxfan2001]

Look's Good , Can't wait to see more

[Mackvision]

Mine were slightly too long as well,i removed approx. 1mm from each axle and they seemed to fit better......................................Mark
