Global Scale Modeller

Idea came to mind while working on my car for pauls build, would anyone like to do a Big Rig SiG toward the middle or end of year maybe flowing into next year? i figured I wouldnt put it directly after pauls as most are probably burnt out on cars by now , So with that said it will be open to all scales and types( LTL, LTR,OTR over the road, heavy haul, car transporters , WHATEVER you like!) I'd just like my second suggestion to be a bigger hit than my corsairs over korea idea.


What say you good people of ISMland?

Im in

That might be a may be. Like the idea of a car transporter can't say I've seen one though

Sure count me in. I have a Big Rig my wife got me for Christmas. I'll just set it aside for the sig

Yep defo in one this

Only just now doing my first ever car kit, but if the timing is right I'd give it a try. I used to live next door to a dude who was an engineer for Peterbilt and every now and then they'd roll the new model by his house and the neighborhood would come out to look at it. Nothing quite as cool as a big rig.

Oh I have wanted to do the Rubber Duck Mack again from Convoy...did it as a kid
Man you guys are killing me with schedule and timing

Breaker breaker 19 I'm in for this one 10-4 good buddy


Dan

Sure i can rustle some kind of rig up.

Anything bigger than a pickup truck/ No monster trucks(has to perform some sort of task)

Can be military or civilian

Dio- Is builders choice

Aftermarket if you can find it use it! I have found one site that sells quite a few bits and bobs for semi trucks, if you know of any others ppvintagekits.com

Articulated or Non doesnt matter(box van, rigid doesnt matter)

I will be taking part
Going to build this one

Put me down for this, but have you seen the prices for truck kits on eBay? Pretty expensive.

sounds good eric
looking forward to starting this

I'll join your build!

Some kits can be, but if its a truck you like ya just GOTTA GET IT!

with that being said, we have two months before this starts. Lets hope everyone has the kits they want to build! See you in August!

I am so cheap that I keep getting outbid on those Round 2 Models re-pops of the old AMT big rigs.

If you don't get one, i can look where i am and make you a deal. Evilbay can get frustrating sometimes.

Hobby Lobby usually stocks a couple examples (usually a Ford C-600 straight truck). Sometime I'll go over and use their 40% Off discount coupon.

I'm in haven't done truck in years

Ok guys, only a couple weeks until the start of the build. Everyone got what they need to build and fabricate!

Love the song,

had a huge crush on Ali MacGraw....

Hummm...
with the tractor in black:


it could pass for the Rubber Duck's ride.

Oh ya, Ali McGraw
I was too young to know why, but I liked her a lot
Got a line on a resin kit, but no time for it, money or postal service...until I change my mind and just say F it I am doing it

This would be my other option:

Ahh that is the one i did as a kid. I have fond memories of it, but it has some inaccuracies and looks bit toylike when finished
This is one I have my eye on

Would be great to get both and make the best of them...$$$$$$

Do any of you have experience with the Revell Snap Tite 1/32 truck kits? Are they detailed well? Are they too toy like?

I'd like to hear about this, too. If I have any time at all to manage this one it'll need to be one of those kits.

This isnt definite but im sure like most of theyre snap kits, they are pretty basic.

Well I think I am out of this build.
Went to order the Duck and the guy is a Neanderthal....one word answers on e-mail, have to use a certain windows form to order and only paypal-won't take my credit card.
Forget it, I have more projects in my head and this just kills this project idea as I won't deal with people like this who don't want to do business with you.
Sorry, it would have been cool

Hi EricM..

Is this SIG still gona start on 1st Aug?
If so
Im in!
1/48 Italeri German Fuel Truck

Yes Sir! look forward to your build!

Might join in this, something different from military.

Anxious to see what everyone has been working on! hopefully everyone has been keeping track of their progress for when the build thread gets put up.

Camera not working on my phone. Got an old airfix kit, scaina 141 so I'm in good buddy.

There was a Rubber Duck Mac truck on E Bay...glue bomb that would need overhauling
I didn't bite as the darn "death proof duck" hood statue had its head BITTEN OFF!!!!
No way I could reproduce one. So I am doing a Ford race transport

I suppose this doesn't quite fit the bill:



I mean, it looks like a garbage truck to keep your beach hipsters in according to the box art.
