I had a lot of fun and learned a few things while studying the thread that Simon had started for his Tanker Truck build. Here are the results of what I saw and tried to replicate. I hope you like it Mr. T,..........this one is for you.

Jim, Lee, Andy, Steve and Neil and Andrew, Thank you all for your warm responses to this build. I'm glad I was able to contribute in some "small" way to celebrate the life of our friend and fellow modeler. Rick H. :thumb2:

Great build for Simon.

Nice one....

 

[Mini Me]

Thanks Ron.

 

[Si Benson]

Looks great Rick, really nice paint work :thumb2:

 

[Tim Marlow]

That is a fantastic paint finish for such a small model. The tones and surface textures are just perfect. Could we have a shot with something to give it scale? I’m sure some on here won’t realise how small this really is until they can visualise it.

Thank you Si, it was as close as I could get it to what Mr T. was doing with his build.
