Re: My ford aeromax and trailer.
Absolutely beautiful styrene work. Very cool to see you join us. I remember your thread from Scale 4x4. Your Aeromax and trailer are going to be awesome once you get it all painted up! It looks great right now, even in it's raw state!

Re: My ford aeromax and trailer.
I tried to fix the trailer fenders and it did not go well so i made these instead. Looking at what i had left from the old pieces i decided to use some of the old fenders and made new ones. I also made some new mud flaps but still kept with the flame look on the truck.

Re: My ford aeromax and trailer.
Dude that is freaking awesome work on the styrene flames!
I've seen a lot of great styrene work, but that'll stick around a little better in the old noggen. Goes great with the truck too, can't wait to see it painted. |

Re: My ford aeromax and trailer.
Here is some pictures of me trying to work on my inner photographer. I was trying to get a real life look while i was running my nitro car on this side road. Tell me what everyone thinks and yes no paint but i think that is going to happen real soon maybe.

Re: My ford aeromax and trailer.
I keep telling you this this is awesome!
I wish this thing would get a color or two on it geezzzz! Very Very Very nice though. |
Re: My ford aeromax and trailer.
The flame work is wicked. Any ideas as to color? Ive been watchin this one from the start. Very nice!!
|
Re: My ford aeromax and trailer.
hehe
you did the same thing as me flames i did some to a custom peterbilt that i'm doing for a guy in VA only thing, i made a flame grill too lol glenn |
Re: My ford aeromax and trailer.
Yep, I agree needs colour.
When I first saw it I thought it was all painted white! Like the side doors on the trailer too. |
Re: My ford aeromax and trailer.
I got some primer now just trying to find the nice day out to go outside to start testing to make sure it does not go bad on the paint.
|
Re: My ford aeromax and trailer.
Would you finish this thing already?! Just kidding!:) Looks good!:D

Re: My ford aeromax and trailer.
Ok i will warn everyone don't fall over or have an outer body experience or something but i have the truck and trailer 95% covered in primer. Unfortunately the color i wanted i can not get it in a spray can from any nissan dealer or automotive detail shop. The dealers only have it in a touch up pen and that is really not going to cut it. So i have to go back to the drawing board for the color choice. Brain cells are realy working and the weather is really cooperating. I am trying to get at least a rolling chassis done with color before the winter since i am doing this outside. If i can get the whole truck done before the new england winter i will go play the lottery lol.

Re: My ford aeromax and trailer.
Ahhhhh, I have seen this over at scale.....Good to see you still addding to it
Nice ! Alfy |
Re: My ford aeromax and trailer.
Awesome! What color where you trying to get from Nissan? Maybe we could help you find something similar. Tamiya probably has something really close. Only thing is you'll end up paying for it too. Lots of surface to cover there!

Re: My ford aeromax and trailer.
Been watching this on a forum or 2. Very nice build. Its like a Orange County Chopper built. Put it all together and then break it down for paint. Should be sweet when is done. Any palns for lighting?

Re: My ford aeromax and trailer.

Re: My ford aeromax and trailer.
Very impressive build so far. Enjoy the styrene work. I do have 1 concern about your paint. Using a dark primer under orange paint will either cause you to use lots of orange paint to get it the right shade or you will not like the end results with only 2 or 3 coats. I had a paint manufacturer tell me to under coat or prime yellow, red, and orange with a white primer to get a truer/brighter final color. I have switched to using white primer for about all colors except browns and black. It really does make a difference. I am not knocking your build just trying to help a fellow mini-trucker get the truck he has envisioned in his mind become a reality.

Re: My ford aeromax and trailer.
Wow this looks awesome there's no way i would of thought of anything like this.
|
Re: My ford aeromax and trailer.
Well the winter broke and i got some much needed painting in. So far i have a rolling chassis on the truck. I ended up going with this metalic satin gold for the frame and a gloss burgendy for the body, box, fenders and other odd parts.

Re: My ford aeromax and trailer.

Re: My ford aeromax and trailer.
Cool truck KW. :cool: Gonna be watching this one.
I just got into these 1:14 trucks 3 or 4 months ago and have been tinkering with converting my Aeromax to a Sterling dump truck. Since that time I find myself looking at every truck going up and down I95 on east coast U.S. I usually see 5 or 6 Sterling day cabs everyday (everything from dumps, box trailers to boom trucks)...and maybe an Aeromax day cab or two...but I have yet to see an Aeromax (or a Sterling) with a sleeper (let alone extended). Maybe I need to be looking on an East/West highway. LOL. :D:rolleyes: Anybody see these things with full aero package and sleeper like Tamiya sells 'em on a regular basis or are they as rare as I think in the U.S.? Joe |
Re: My ford aeromax and trailer.
Lookin good..
|
Re: My ford aeromax and trailer.
Hey Joe, All of the Sterling's that I've seen in Utah, have been vocational truck's; dump,
tractor, or water truck. Later, Neil#2 aka doodlebug. |
Re: My ford aeromax and trailer.
Well here is my first coat on most of the truck. The trailer i have plans on getting top flites monokote metalic gold self adhesive sheet for the sides. Yes i know i am cheeting by not painting the side but i am painting in a bit of an untraditional place. Plus i think if it works that should give it a good look.

Re: My ford aeromax and trailer.
I'm glad to see you're still working on this. It's looking great. I look forward to seeing your color selections.

Re: My ford aeromax and trailer.
Working on painting more coats on everything i got real ahead myself and test fitted most of the parts anchored to the frame.

I yank off all the doors took off all the primer to add more detail to them. I just could not stick with the fenders that i had on it so i am going to rebuild them to match the truck. http://i553.photobucket.com/albums/j...9/IMG_4006.jpg http://i553.photobucket.com/albums/j...9/IMG_4004.jpg http://i553.photobucket.com/albums/j...9/IMG_4003.jpg |
Re: My ford aeromax and trailer.
The flames look fantastic - but for me the truck need a contrast to the red colour
|
Re: My ford aeromax and trailer.
I made a fifthwheel cover before but misplaced it so i made another.
http://i553.photobucket.com/albums/j...9/IMG_4011.jpg This is what i got so far redoing the trailer fenders to match the truck. http://i553.photobucket.com/albums/j...9/IMG_4019.jpg |
Re: My ford aeromax and trailer.
WOW, really amazing... Great Truck!
