MODEL TRUCKS

this is a side view of the door panel of the atkinson,its a lovely livery ,i am getting the decals done up at the mo for the hino and trailer.just have to get emerald green in spray form.

HERES A BETTER PIC

surprised you didnt buy a kfs atki david, would look good me thinks… :smiley:

quick update on the seddon atkinson. heres a picture with some mock up decals i have been making using an alps printer.
the decals have been printed onto normal paper, cut out, dampened and stuck onto model to get a feel for the size of the decals.

needs to be slightly larger me thinks, im on a steep learning curve at the moment with the coreldraw 12 and alps printer… :smiley:

YES COMING ON GRAND ,ANOTHER SLIGHT BIT BIGGER WOULD DO THE JOB,
YES A KFS SEDDON WOULD BE NICE.MAY TRY GET ONE DOWN THE ROAD.AND DO ONE UP DOWN THE ROAD.

pete heres a few more pics i have the decals done just to make up the model,i will def do a f10 like the one below also
another friend is going to do me up a set for a man i will do also and i have 2 tankers to go with each.

David,

Heinz at modeltrucksandparts has the F12 globetrotter in - i ordered one last week, i’m going to get the KFS flat roof for it.

Nice one Pete!! :smiley: Looks great!

Still waiting for the F12 to arrive grrr ! That was the first one i built also, probably 25 years ago ! Brush painted, it was a mess, can’t wait to build one again ( i know what you mean about buing the models - the bed is starting to rise up now with the models stuffed under there - some i forgot i even had )

Cheers

Tom

Cheers ts - some great piccies there and some great skill too, I must get back to it :slight_smile:

Im just in the middle of building a 1:24th scale Merc Actros and Trailer, Will put pics up when done but i do have a question, does anybody know where to source the decal paper to print my own decal set? I can cut my own vinyl letters but it doesnt want to play ball that small… Cheers
