Hello and happy new year,
It's been forever it seems since I've posted anything. Things have been kinda nuts but I have been building. Here are a couple of AMT semi's I just completed for a friend. Lets be honest these AMT kits are horrible and what they are charging for them now is even more disgusting but you make the best of it and so here it or they are. I included a couple of build picks to show I did put some effort into it.

Now the great news, I was able to get my hands on 3 of the Wingnut models that recently appeared on the market. Lots of various rumers how they showed up so anyone want to shed some more light on it please do. I will be doing a full step build on the Early Felixstowe kit. Soon as it arrives. Might be kinda fun. Anyway thanks for looking and hope you all have been doing well.

God Bless,
Jon

Thanks for all the great comments guys. I enjoyed the builds but semi time is now over. Been waiting on the wingnut kits for some time now. Hope they get here soon.

Here is one final edition to the freightliner.

Yes please do. I would love to see what you would do with them. AMT just came out with some new ones. May I make a suggestion. How about a garbage truck? With your amazing diorama abilities I am sure you could do something really cool with it.

Pretty cool huh. Thanks for the comments. These kits are not Tamiya level at all. Make sure you have plenty of sand paper. The parts are there you just have to dig them out. LOL

Yeah, he did mix me up with someone else. No worries; he was probably thinking of you and your diorama skills.

Jon, That sounds like a lot of Mach 2 and Armaggedon kits; only those kits need chisels and belt sanders to find the parts...

First time viewing youe Ryder Mack. A beauty. A really well used finish. Were you working from memory, ref. fotos or was the owner kind enough to park it in your front yard, LoL. I have a Peterbuilt waiting in the box and inspiration down the road. Cheers
