Greeting, First let me start by saying that I'm sorry for being " UA " Life happens fast to fast but hey that's life. I just got back and will be leaving again in about a week and should return in about two weeks give or take.

I have about 5,6 projects lined up but until then they will sit at the " Ready " waiting. everything is great, I must go " Make Chit Happen " So be safe, stay alert and always watch your six.

Well I'm back for what it's worth? Trip took a little longer but it all got done !!!

Ok first up is the road grader, was going to build two but when I opened the second kit the P.E. parts were missing so I put it in a box and set it aside. So there will be only one flat car load.

Chevy crew cab, Again this kit was missing a rear tire, You think with all the spare parts I have I would have this tire ??? NOOOOOOOOOOO everything but !!
I placed a small bit of plating in the rear deck and cut out a wooden deck but found it to thick, So I cut N scale 2x4's and they fit nice and low.

The pre-fabed deck which I have no more of and the guy I was getting them from sold his shop, So I need to find a new suppliers

Here is the Chevy crew cab, to bad the kit was missing a wheel, even more mad I didn't have a spare part !!! oh well. " Sometimes your the windshield, Sometimes your the bug " Should have taken better shot of the wooden deck was a bit of a pain but well worth it.

Ok, Photo Bucket got back to me and it seems that they have changed there format, Thus the really big pictures, Now all pictures must be resized before posting on forums.
So if the pictures are gone its me resizing them.

Imgur - though, there isn't very much up there...

I just don't do as much so, there's little to post.
