That's ok, that just gives us yanks 12 extra hours to finish up due to the date line.
Party on wayne...I mean shane!

Hmmm, the clock on the wall{my last deleted post} says it's time to build!{loophole!}

All,
Well it's 15 hours into the GB (I get a couple more hours than my Aussie neighbours ), and since I'll lose a month during the house move, I thought I'd pull finger and get into it.
Managed to scrounge up a spare cab, doors and dash from a friend (yep I'm cheap) so it's time for some cold steel to mangle some plastic. Just spent an hour or so shaping some wood blocks ready for vacuum-forming (oven is warming right now).
Will start a build log once some progress is made.

Hope everyones bits'n'pieces are coming together and plans falling in line.

Roger.

Casper, you're scaring me. That stuff is just WAAAAAAAY to organised for my liking !!!

Hey, Roger, do you ever cut yourself when you are selecting a knife? I only ask because I'd have no fingers left if I did that!!

Grubby.

Alight, it's offcial{over here now}....let the build begin!
I started a frame last night at 12:05 am.
So roger, what have you decided on making?

I'm in. We started today, right?
Ok. I know, last campaign, i didn't finish.
But this time I'll do my best. 120%.
I've found a Dump Truck in my stash, Kenworth W-900 Dumper & Tandem Trailer a Revell Kit nr. 07556
That's my truck this time.
Hope it's ok for you guy's?

Erikssson.

Bob, ribbon is in (thanks to Jim Starkweather and Gary Kato)...something funky was going on so this is what you'll be using

Also, gallery is set and found here... OTR Gallery

A feature will be made showing off all the completed entries at the end....so hope to see that gallery fill up!

Have fun guys!

guys, I'm happy to see this one fire up and take a diversion from wings and props for an hour or two. I'll be doing this



to go beside this



and this



in my monster diorama. I'm really looking forward to seeing some of your builds in progress, I've got LOTS to learn about building trucks.

Cheers, D

OK, it's been 1 day now and I got her done...this was the easiest interior I've ever done!
I made the to stacks out of aluminum tubing since there were 4 nasty mold kickout marks right where everyone could see them. Painted the cab and trailer with the new tamiya white pearl...man that stuff is thin!!!{will be an excellent tinting cover for my sci-fi ships}. Used the AMT US Mail decals for the trailer since the cab was too small for anything from that set. A note to everyone who ever has to use a black fine tip permanent marker for line touch up - use very fine mists to cover said area or the marker will run{see the red pinstriping on my cab - ouch}...a normal coat will make it run! I could get the wash to stay on the red stripes/tape so I resorted to a fine tip marker...won't do that again.
She nearly fell together...thanks to fast drying paint and glue I can kick back for the rest of the year I guess-





...well, maybe not.........
...anybody else close to finishing one up yet? I sorta expected to see a few of these
{I nearly did her in the P.I.E. livery but the US Mail version was easier}
Now truth be told, this lil project wasn't just to poke fun at a few folks as much as it was a speed build for me....I don't readily expect anyone to be doing this, but you can if you like.

Great job! She'll do nicely...I don't know what the deal was with that gif was but I'm glad you guys got it all sorted out......Thank you gents!
Now for the next problem...tried to upload the 24hr builder twice and it says no images in the file...this site just doesn't like me lately!

Looking at the fact that we have 5 pages going on here as it is...do you guys want me to start a new campaign build thread or would everyone like to toss they're own up individually? Majority rules....

Oh, yeah, I ain't done by a long shot!!!
{my todo list which doesn't include the H-67}

Well, back to the table!

I just uploaded one Bob, see if you can see it and try to upload again.

Nope, I get this-
"the catagory you choose for this photo can't contain photos"...I got that the first time I tried too.

Alrighty, should be good now. If the link doesn't work take the long way through Photos/Automodeler/Group Builds/OTR.....

Took the scenic route there....tried the upload and this time got "this catogory does not contain any images"...well no "----", I'm trying to upload one!
-tried again off of that...same thing. ...server issues?...doesn't like right handed photos?

Are you logged in? If you are, log out and then log in...


****EDIT****logged in on the gallery page that is

,
AussieReg - That area may look organised, thankfully you can't see the other side of the room = pure chaos .
Grubby - Let's just say, I very quickly learnt to pick up a knife from the side , it's only a temp holder while I sort/reorganise the playroom.
Bob - "what am I building" - to be revealed when the build log starts . As to your OTR twofour .

Roger.

James, I logged out and relogged back in, tried the upload and got the "this file has no images"

Managed to upload an image to the OTR Gallery... lets try this...



Got it to work on the 2nd attempt **rolling eyes smiley**

4th Edit... this will probably be my model for the build. Rather unimpressed with the Revell Peterbilt tri-axle hauler kit unfortunately. May stick it back on EPay and get my money back.

Ahhhh shaddup!
I probably don't have enough room on there anyway....I'll just pop them on the forum posts as I go along.

Well, I pulled a few resin cabs out of mothballs to try out...my Mack MB400 series recast of Dave Natales conversion that he did a 3 piece rerun of, an old ebay find of a clint freeman Mack F cab but it has a mold split on all the top of the cab and back on the rear AC unit and I just got my 2 Mack AC tanker kits for which I plan on splicing them together to make a long Mack AP dual drive tanker out of...as soon as my MAck AP book shows up{yah just can't find any decent pics of a Mack AP}.
