Re: "KISS" theme truck
Well boy's and girl's, I decided to cut the doors on this "Larger Than Life" beast. Can we say suicide??? As you can see, I have to clean up everything, and see where I stand on the fit...just to tired at the moment, so prolly tomorrow.
And I started working on the interior by making a floor...look's like some more styrene work ahead, but I love it. Thanx for looking, Big John

Re: "KISS" theme truck
Hy John,
as I read your announcement for the "Kiss Theme Truck" I was really very interested how you will work it out. Now I have to say: I like wich I see here - great work on the dashboard, the steering wheel and on the wipers - I like the way you are going on.

Re: "KISS" theme truck
Well I got everything cleaned up and mounted the hinges and doors...and I wasn't happy. There was a lot of gap in some areas.
So I decided to make two new doors with a mod to the windows. There are still some gaps, but not quite as much. I'm hoping when I get the door stops installed, primer and paint layed down, it will be down to a minimum. Thanx for looking, Big John

Re: "KISS" theme truck
On the bunk detail John, you could always build the bunk interior straight on to the bunk floor plan, so that when you lift off the cab, the bunk interior is left bolted to the frame rails. If you can picture the bunk interior only being half the height of the actual sleeper, you could in fact, make a box, or roof over the interior so that you can fit the electronics on top of the bunk, but it will be all housed and hidden in the upper portion of the sleeper but you can easily access it by lifting off the cab. You can then have a detailed bunk interior and opening door and still have full MFU if you like.
Hope that makes sense, if not, I can scan a sketch and email it to you. You can always stick a small MP3 player in the trailer, that will have a ton of space there.

You have great ideas, and if I do decide to open the sleeper doors, the ideas you gave would work perfectly. I keep forgetting to tell you, my last name is Merrell, and I was told the Merrell's originaly from Ierland. Small world, isn't it. I'm going to try something totally throwed off on the mirrors, and if I can make it work, i'll post pic's...To be continued... Big John

Re: "KISS" theme truck
Well as promised, I tinkerd with the mirrors and I think they came out pretty good. Last night I had a brain storm and thought about using some more chain for the mirror mounts. So you all remember I made Ace Frehley's space eye makeup on the wipers? Well I did Peter Criss's catman eye makeup for the mirrors themseleves. Let me know what you think.
Now i'm wanting to cut out a star from Paul Stanley's eye makeup on the passenger spot window just to give a different look. Any idea's on an easy way of doing this??? Thanx for looking, Big John
