Very VERY cool. Sort of like Thrust, I was going to start one when I can pick up a beat-up OP or UM. I was going to go black and blue like a Scourge, but now....

did you cut the rear wheels of? , i personally think it needs a black tanker trailer

Deszaras · Post by **Deszaras** » Thu Oct 18, 2007 1:34 pm

there was no tyres so I carefully removed the chrome wheels. You are right about the tanker trailer... I've got one here [but it may be too big]

ohh. I've just found a perfectly sized tanker trailer....

Nice. It's hard to find wheels that match on other trailers.

Deszaras · Post by **Deszaras** » Thu Oct 18, 2007 6:51 pm

they are close but not identical. I just had the thing lying around. I added a mount to allow nemesis to tow it (the original one had broken off) and it just fitted.

i'm not gonna junk it but i'm gonna restore it, did you still have the gun from it btw?

so peops i'm looking for the motor dummy from the back of g1 hotrods head if someone has a broken one let me know

was not the large plastic gun included in the packasge?

(the smaller one I have is borken [the wings at the back have snapped off.])

Kup · Post by **Kup** » Fri Oct 19, 2007 11:29 am

nope didn't find anything?

only the cabin and the body seperated ,

maybe you could get a cheap airbrusch gun and thin the revell model paint lightly so it runs enough for the airbrush gun ,
at the looks of it you do seem enjoying customasation as I do so a little investment of arround 25€ isn't a big waste of money and your models quality will increase in a large scale

Deszaras · Post by **Deszaras** » Fri Oct 19, 2007 11:39 am

I don't like revell paint. Plus I can't get any here.

Where i live there is no good places to get anything. I can't even get decent paintbrushes...

Deszaras · Post by **Deszaras** » Fri Oct 19, 2007 2:47 pm

Lines ain't turniong out as planned. If this plan shoudl fail I'm gonna get/create some stencils. (I would like to put nemesis prime down the side of the trailer)

Kup · Post by **Kup** » Fri Oct 19, 2007 3:06 pm

get some masking tape and mask the edges of the lines, leave the mask on when you paint, and try to paint in amanor that the paint doesn't get too thick or stacked,

i'm not saying this to bug you , only giving you some guidelines to make your customs look better cuzz the semi is great, it only needs a trailer evenly in greatness

Hey Des - there is a model shop in Leeds city centre (about 10 mins walk from where I live) that has spray paint kits, Tamiya and Revell paints - all for reasonable prices. If you can't find stuff like that locally, I could always get you some bits you want? At cost, as usual....
