Good evening fellas
Not much done today. The 65 tonner chassis is painted and refinished, I WAS going to install the decoder and speaker today, but I found the speaker I selected wont quite fit! The body is now masked ready for its 2nd color, also the Shemp body is also ready to shoot, maybe tomorrow. Tomorrow the 2 evergreens bordering the garage door will be cut down, the wood ties bordering the flower beds will be removed and the lawn will be cut in preparation of the rains to come for the rest of the week. Then maybe I can get some paint shot. Wife is still working from home, and making masks in her spare time.
IBKen . The foliage looks good! Cat wait to see it again in person.
Paul Cool video from Peru, at the end I see a parts 2 and 3.
Tom, great sunset!!
Willie, the backdrop looks perfect!
George, that video of Pelosi put visions of a modern Marie Antoinette, "let them eat ice cream".
I did spend a bit of time doing detail research on the 65 tonner. It had the craziest horn arrangement I have ever seen. On the front end the was a single note horn, facing forward between the bell and exhaust. Behind the cab is a rear facing horn, with various chimes. Looks like 4 in some pics, maybe 2 or 3 in others.
This leaves me questioning what horn to select, for details and also for the decoder sounds.
Bad enough I have to make the
logos. All the lettering will be individual letter decals, the white stripes are bulk Microscale. Before they came out with decal sets for hood units, I had to so these the same way.
Nite all!
