Very realistic paint. Are you going to wire and plumb the engine?

Great work James, the dash board looks amazing i didn't know those old trucks had that many gages and the weathering is nice and subtle.

James,

Like I mentioned on another board, yout Titan is very realistic. Some daylight shots with the right background, and you'd think it was real.

So you know, the AMT Chevrolet Titan/90 is about a 1976.

Awesome! I love it, and that "concrete" pad is very nice. It looks great in the daylight.

Nice work, I didn't know you dabbled in semis too.
I like the cab side steps and the texture on the exhaust pipes...don't ya just love those sink holes in AMT's exhaust manifolds...

Superb build. Probably the best truck build I have ever seen.

Wow, what a great weathering job! What did you use for the grimy grease on top of the fifth wheel? It looks like a person would need coveralls on just to get next to it.
