  1. whatttt !!! finished yet ,,it will be finished all right when i put it in the bin ,or paint it mat black and sell it to a guy who has a mad max lay out ,,wish i had not started it ,,but glad i did does that make sense ;D ,, any way still a bit a way from paint and need to think of a colour ,, not sure what colour a candy or metallic black or just gloss black don't want it to look " pimped "
  2. your dead right about most stickers ,how ever the stickers i get made are not to keen on been removed ,they stick "" like #### to an army blanket "" if you know what i mean .i am getting these made in 3 sizes smaller
  3. i do like some of the chrome ,some of the stickers look well to .i need to get my hands on one of those kits for my next project ,but lee please keep experimenting i am getting some good ideas form you good work ;) ;) i have some thing for you ,but not sure you have any room
  4. i do like that barry ,or should i say i like that front hitch ,i really appreciate the fact that guys like you can do such a fantastic job at this sort of thing ,because i can't ,been 6ft2" and hands like shovels is my achilles heal ,
  5. no i think that's a bout it i did not really want to get this involved right now ,but i am well into it now ,i am no expert when it comes to truck ,,painted a few though real and model ,,
  6. har flaiming har ;D ;D any way now the work starts ,need to lower the door frame to fit in the aperture,not sure to have side trims or have a diesel tank showing,the wheels are pretty much were they are going to be ,and the box trailer is not stopping on there ,no way no how ,as i say just dummyed up for now ;)
  7. i have only ever done this sort of thing to real trucks ,cars and vans ,but ""tris"" had to dangle the little carrot in my other feed ,,""go on go on you know you want to !!!"" i took the bait : ..as i started i thought to my self ,what have i got in to here,,, ,i have loads on at the moment ,on top of getting ready for spalding ??? ,,so i am easily side tracked ,,but hey ho i will give it 110%
  8. tris ,,,what the hell have you got me in to ??? ??? ??? ??? its just dummyed up at the mo
  9. josh ,just standard gloss black will do it or if you need direction bmw black (not metallic or pearl ) if you need stickers i have some ,
  10. lee great topic ,i must admit i am as green as grass when it comes to the real things ,apart from i have painted a lot of real ones ,and these guys here have probably forgot more than i know about real stuff like this ,some things are just nice to be explained to you and this forum is just the place for that , great reading for me :)
  11. strange topic as i will tell you a fact :were ever i go selling my goods on that given day in that given area i sell tractors that you see in the field in that area this also goes for the seasons as well ,any way jd ,new holland and massey in that order in this part of the north east " geordieland"
  12. tris ,,i might just be on to some thing for the extra wheels/tyres for the tractor unit ,so i will keep you informed once sorted
  13. come and see me a spalding if not try siku direct ,David Davis in the uk is about the cheapest at £56.90 and he has a good postage price were its one charge of postage and he might give you a bit of discount buying two ,just say you were talikg to me ;)
  14. you know i carnt even see siku going much further with these because they don't sell ,i know a lot of siku deals and they have had these in stock since they came out ,as for price i heard a " rumor" that a lot of siku deals had complained to siku about the price of the trucks so siku reduced the cost price ,but then some of the dealers never past it on to the retail price ,"just a rumor" i pay £42 inc vat so why are they all still sat at around £70 siku direct ,David Davis in the uk is about the cheapest at £56.90 and he has a good postage price were its one charge of postage
  15. justin ,,don't ever be afraid to voice your opinion because it is just that"" your opinion "",we can only compare model to others manufactures because that is the only way we can judge or benchmark these things
  16. like i have said in these feeds doing these truck is ok for me because i get them for cost ,but i think it is very worrying to take on a truck project knowing you have just shelled out around £70 , i am now looking in to truck sticker wraps 1/32 scale just like real vans and truck have that you see on the roads
  17. i must have done my job right for you to recognize the livery ;) i should have them all stickered up by the end of the week ,
  18. never ,to many die cast toy companies doing them ,i am just interested mainly in the companies in this area unless some one approaches me to do there livery ,there is a big truck show down the road from here at the end of this month and i will be approaching some of them with my concept of having the trucks done in there colours 1,2 or 20 of
  19. well if its siku try me first as a job lot i could be interested ,pm me
  20. i think the only way it might make it look a bit better if i had one of those "big white cigarette's " you get from Jamaica then and only then it might look better to me ,,,,only one problem i don't smoke :( ,, or on the other hand i might just get one and paint it mat black with mat black wheels just so it does not stick out in my collection , sorry lads i am not going to dwell on this much longer ,just really disappointed with it ,,,,,,, just a note if all you guys are replacing the wheels on this model give me a shout because i will put them to good use ,,,good price paid
  21. now as you all well know i am a siku"" freak ""but what the hell is that > it really is pants just looks like a plastic made in hong honk kong or some were like that ,i don't even want to buy one as a collector or even to do a conversion on ,poor :'( poor :'( poor :'( sorry lads it is only my opinion """i have nothing sensible to say about the new holland and cannot bring my self to give it constructive criticism """
  22. i have a scania t cab tipper truck 1/32 scale made by automaxx and was saving it for a rainy day :,well to tell you the truth did not know quite what to do with it :( ,now i have some inspiration ;)
  23. i could not bring my self to put all my hard work in to a new ray truck ,because they are a bit to much plastic for me ,just like the 1/32 scale new shape plastic transit vans you can get for £5 in toy master ,i get asked to paint them all the time ,but it is ok for me because i only pay £41 inc vat for the siku trucks any way :)
