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
The cut N scale 2x4's
Sorry the pictures are a real train wreak didn't think I was that close !!! My BAD !

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.

Imgur - though, there isn't very much up there...
I just don't do as much so, there's little to post.
