Mine will be delivered in the morning.

 

[GaryG64]

Mine came in today.
Going to be really hard not to start

A few of you guys have been buying trucks so I'm guessing the truck gb that was mentioned is going ahead at some point.
So what are the specifics? Any particular truck? I have a few in the stash and may well jump on board with this one, is there a start date in mind?

Love for you to join in the build, Mark.
The only specific is we are looking for the tractor truck kit. The brand of the kit and truck manufacturers is up to you.
We don't have a start date as of yet. I'll make a thread for it later tonight.
The title is Convoy hope we can get a convoy of builders.
We'll kick around a start date.

Sounds good to me,thanks Gary.

Hope it is not too soon. I am about to go on vacation for a week, and I would like to slide in to the rocking chair.

Im almost done but had a question.. My instructions dont reference installing part C24 (its shown not there in step 6 and in 8 its there. Nor does it reference the 56 color in the book. I know what part it is and where it goes thanks to your pics but am I missing something?

 

[TimM63]

I did not see the anchor in the instructions nor did I see color 56 anywhere.
I only knew where the anchor went by Gary and PM's pictures.

I still haven't finished the lifeboat...lol... I've been very sick this past week with some ungodly bug. Sleep and drink water is about all I've been able to do.

Sorry to hear that, Mike. I hope you feel better soon.

Get well soon!

I am moving on to decals tonight. Finally. If I dont have to see a tube of poly cement ever again, I wont be sad.

Yeah, the decals are a bit tricky with only a brush and water......no tweezers or micro sol and set. Fun though.....Pantherman

I think I may have caused myself some near future difficulty. I decided to go for a weathered (beat up) look because everyone else was doing clean and forgot that the decals probably arent going to sit well now lol. Oh well, still fun.
