Lol ! .... Ok Keith, if you want pink shocks that's fine .

I'm really liking this globe build too. Russ's grille looks great and no styrene work required to install eh?
I still haven't figured out what to do with my globe yet so I'm anxious to see how this baby turns out.

Wow, I didn't think anybody was using so many Tamiya parts in their builds anymore.

Nice progress on your Globeliner build Keith.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get those stands from?

Thanks very much for that info RodneyO.

I am in the process of 2 builds at present.

Freightliner Coronado done in Pearl Black with Metallic Red flecks.

MAN TGX 26.540 done in Metallic Red.

I have been taking photos as I go.

I have only posted on the Hobbyking site some of my Freightliner build.

Both of the truck bodies are off getting a professional paint job.

Will create thread once I get the bodies back.

Gary
