Chris Greathouse AutorA quick project (31 painted pieces) while paints for the White Freightliner go through the post (and the weather)

Chris Greathouse AutorGot the pieces snipped and trimmed, apparently (if I don't screw up) the combo lock on the rear of the truck works, the combo is stamped into the back wall of the cab... That's kinda neat 😄

Chris Greathouse AutorWent straight for the fun color, the body! Which is silver 🙂

Chris Greathouse AutorEverything is painted and 1st clear coat is on, I'll do panels lines and decals later today.

Martin OostromSo if you want to buy more models, you'll have to rob the model truck 😄
Silver looks good 👍

Chris Greathouse AutorI guess I'll start planning the robbery now 😛 I always need more models 😄

Chris Greathouse Autordone with all 5 decals... whew that was tough 😛... The truck looked really boring, so I painted in vents, door detail, gun mounts, and yellow running lights.... I might have this all put together tonight!!! This was a bust as an in-betweener vehicle to the White Freightliner while I waited for paints in the mail... it's a bust because we still don't have any mail since last Thursday 😛 Put I do finally hear the plows and street grader... So maybe tomorrow? Then there's Modelers Convention this weekend, you think $100-$120 is a good vender room budget? (at least I hope they have a vender room) Trucks are around $50-$60 and I hoping for 2.... or an assortment of 4-5 cars 🙂

Chris Greathouse AutorThanks! Marathoning Bob's Burgers on hulu... half way through season 4 of 9.... I'll probably stay up until 2am again watching and building 😄

Martin OostromTrucks are relatively cheap here: passion132.com/gb/content/7-shipping
Spend enough and shipping is free. Don't know about import tariffs though

Chris Greathouse AutorNot too shabby... $45ish for trucks and $17 for shipping... have to spend $170 for the free shipping

Chris Greathouse AutorThe snow is still real! But we finally got UPS deliveries up here, so there's that. Now we just need FedEx and USPS to get up here... mynorthwest.com/1274..fA3zpncB74XHs-M0JwaY

Nigel ChapmanNice to see your take on the Jinx Express. I've got myself one as well

Chris Greathouse AutorIf you put the vault door and tumblers on without issue, the back of the truck is a working combo lock.

Nigel ChapmanIt did say that in the instructions but I could not work it out from the parts

Chaz GordonNot sure how I missed this one. Nice work Chris. Hopefully we'll see more of these weird monogram customs come back. I got the black widow for £10 in the local toy store. Was tempted to get this too, and the paddy wagon for the same price. I was kinda sad to see their stock of these not change for 3 months before Christmas. The only one of the 9 kits they bought was sold to me.

Christian W@Nigel … I went through the instruction sheet on Saturday and I couldn't see too, how the lock should work with the ports. I will see.
