My ne scores to go with the road train, two heavy gravel trailer, one heavy flatbed, and a nice "Alaskan hauler" peterbilt, this is a tri axle pete and looks a great model, stock opening doors and detailed sleeper, as for the trailers i have asked the seller of the gravel trailer to look out for some more, so far he's come up with another one, plus i saw the flatbed on ebay and got that, not sure wether to go for another gravel trailer or use the flatbed as the third trailer, i had to pay a fair bit for these kits (around £75 each for the trailers although i got the hauler for £52,)

Cheer's guys, i guess these six axle trailers need a very wide turning circle (or can only be pulled on dead straight roads!) i think revel did a fuel tank trailer with the same amount of axles, on the lookout for those as well

Anything with plenty of wheel's ;D i would like another haevy gravel when i can afford it, they did a nice gas tanker with the same wheel arrangement i wouldn't mind three of waiting on a multi drawer file type cabinet before i re start modeling, i can then get all my stuff in it and label the drawers, just seen the pics of the broken tooth!!! jeez, i really should go to a dentist as mine broke off ages ago, trouble is i'm terrified of em, bstds always seem to hurt me, the phobia stems (i guess) from a real bad experience when i was 19, absess under a tooth and back then they gave ya gas, well i'm bl00dy sure he didn't give me enough as i felt the whole thing, pain went into sounds and swirling colors and i guess i passed out, next thing i knew i was on my back with blood down my white shirt, must have put up one heck of a fight as the guy wouldn't have me back, said so, mind it'd take a team of horses to get me back to that fecker, had some work done since then but it got to hurt like heck before it drives me to go to a dentist!

Just got these, the reefer trailer is per-made but looks good, irony is i made the truck with the same "Watkins" livery way back when it came out, early seventys i think, i always wanted to get the trailer for it but never did, now i got the trailer and not the truck!! still looking for that kit, fancy'd the Dodge L700, you get a load of bits in that kit, dont know if i'm up to the weathering needed but we'll see, the Italeri Aus western star i wanted (mainly as it seems to be the only other "Aus" truck left on the market apart from the revell kit) wish they'd bring back the other ones and all the trailers, it'd stop these ebay sods from charging a bl00dy fortune for em when they do appear!!

Well its been a bit since I've posted anything I've gotten so. we'll give a little update! In trade..... Of just a small handful of parts.... Also a trade, that is pending as the other fellow is trying to figure out what all he needs so I can get something together for him! I am NOT gonna build it as you see it! One, I'm not all that into Fire Trucks. Two, its not a Mopar! Three, Its powered by a Detroit! Four, I've got a BETTER idea for use of the parts within the kit! (I'm gonna use the rear body panels with the doors in them, to make a Utility bed from! In trade... To make into something, I've been pondering that well isn't made as a "kit" BUT, I plan to do it! The body? I plan to take the '64 Polara from Lindberg, and transform it into a '64 Dodge Charger Concept Car.....

Guess I could toss in a couple of my "Newest" scores........ its been a little bit.... So then, as most know, I'm a poor bastard, I got lots of resin to trade (which I do) and then in other times, I trade some of my own work, like "Consignment", and I'll leave it at that! -Making things for others that they can't, or just want to save themself some headache, I'm not sure which, but anyway, (I enjoy being able to offer such things!) I got these 2 as a gift: Early '90's Viper RT/10.... (One I didn't have!) Again, early 90's Viper GTS Coupe.... Needless to say, I MAY have 2 of the GTS now, but I'm not sure, I'd have to look and see if they're the same year or not, but I'm happy! MPC '76 Dodge Van. OHHHHHH heck YES! Resin '71 Dodge Demon, My Grandfather Demon, WILL become a reality now!!! (this one I was questioning BEFORE I got the chance to get this one if it ever become a reality of one I'd get to build!) The car, my grandfather had that my Dad (Felon) for wrecking it!) NOT a Mopar, BUT a sort-of special build for me, this was a life long family friend on my Dads side, and Sylvan and my Dad went to school together and were pretty much best friends, up till Sylvan got married and moved away.... Thern their lives sort of changed, BUT I seen Sylvan a lot and spent quite a bit of time with him as the 2 of us were known local, Model Railroaders... -And his REAL International Scout is what I learned to plow snow with! HE TAUGHT ME, with it..... SO then I need yet one MORE Snow Plow! LOL This isn't a Mopar, I know and its kinda going outside my agreement with the Wifey, to stay within my promise, BUT This one, I just can't, Its a family thing not just a simple "want"...... I have 2 current builds, that are outside my "Mopar models only" agreement, the first one is a '39 Chevy Business Coupe that my Dad was building before he died, which I can post pics of the real car..... GORGEOUS, but not a Mopar, but because my Dad had it, as his last "fun car" I'm building it I don't care if it does go outside of that promise, and thien this Scout, both those models have very fond memories, and a lot of history within close regards of family.... So.... Wifey is just gonna have to deal with that one, not that I caught any grief, but.... you know women huh guys? So... -Used to call his Scout the "13-Letter-Sh!t-Spreader"..... LOL This cab has my full attention, needs work, yes, but thats OK, I needed it for the trim it has! The "Power Wagon 100" is GREAT but I needed more for the chrome trim on the fenders top & bottom, then the wording, (I have the Power Wagon 150 decals so.....) The Embossed lettering will have to be removed in order to put on "Adventurer 150" that I also have in decals! These all "silent" person trades all came from the same person, he knows who he is, and I appreciate it man, you want to come clean on the trade thats fine, but thats up to you, thanks man! You made my freakin' day! -Merry Christmas to Hemi, is what it was when this all showed up on my door step! There was some other things in this box 'O goodies, thats headed for the molding tray too!
