Hi you all, as some of you know I was posting stuff before. Well with the storms we had the last few months. I had to repair a house roof an model work room area as well due to the heavy storms we had gotten.

So please stay tune..

[MoparManJim]

Okay here is the first run of photos..  

The Triple Six Charger (JB666)











My plan is to get the interior an engine together an an finish an work on the shell at the same time.

[MoparManJim]

Well sense we got rain back again  for afew days it looks like.. an one of my projects needs primered so I'm waiting to Thanksgiving or Friday (they say those two days pose to be nice out) I'm going to shot it then... with primer that is   

Here is the Australian U.S. Mack 1/24 semi that had been in the works sense 2009 that I'm doing for a friend of mine that is like a brother to me. His uncle drove truck before he pasted away. Anyhow here is some photos of the semi (you semi truck drivers will love this build).

Just so you all know, my friend is the one that picked the kit out an got it.. not me. So far this kit has thrown more curve balls at me then any of the other projects I have. The cab is mostly now all glue an I don't mean glued together but rather glue. The plastic was that weak..









Now here is the dash an floor area photos. Hench the name of the project. This semi truck is a Australian kinda truck but yet a U.S. version though so thats why the trunk is "Australian U.S. Mack" for. Plus the model is not pose to be a 100% replica to the real one at all.

If I could make a suggestion.
having nearly 200 pictures in one post is WAY overkill.
why not just post a link such as in the other model post you have going

I counted 210 photos   

Please do make any suggestion, I'm always open to them. 

Why not just post a link? well some people are just to darn lazy to click on a link. So why not just post the photo on the forum instead.. that is what the forum is about, posting an sharing stuff an photos.

A- because everytime someone opens this thread they have to download EVERY photo And WILL slow down there PC if not lock it up.

B - if they don't click the link - then they don't want to see the picture
