Thanks. I might have sounded frustrated...Okay, I was a-bit frustrated, but it actually is fun. I already have the seams taken care of. It was easy with some putty and because it's an old beat-up farm truck, I didn't have to be too fussy. The final video should be released soon. I'm experimenting how to show cracked glass for the windshield. Bryan, over at BG's Model Workshop has a good video of how he does it. And Sothern Scale Modeler (@SCM223) also has a good tutorial. You just can't have an old beat-up farm truck with a pristine windshield. 😀 Thanks for watching!!!

Hi, yes I know about the process of using white glue for dry fitting and I also saw "Scale Model Experiments" video on using it; however, the plastic on this kit was...what I call...gummy. It is very soft. I didn't want to take the chance of doing more damage while removing the white glue. I saw the fit issues when I tape fitted the body parts. I also saw the "hpiguys" channel build this kit with similar issues but not as bad as the one I'm building; at least it wasn't as bad on camera. In my next and last video on this build you'll see that I've taken car of the gaps. I'm sure that the problem with this kit is just that the molds are very, very old. According to Scalemates they possible go back to the 1950's. Making an old farm truck with this kit will hide all the problems. If you want to build it to look like new, there will be a lot of filling. Please don't get me wrong. This is a nice kit. I've always liked Atlantis kits. It's just that, in my opinion, it's time for them to refresh their molds. I actually would love to see them or someone release this in 1:24/1:25 scale. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@skipsmessyworkbench I have not bought the kit mainly because it is not 1:24 or 1:25.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the tip. The plastic on this kit is what I call "gummy"; it's really soft and really thin, so I think your suggestion is the best option. Thanks again.

You're welcome. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching. I don't think the country has gone bad. The people who are running the country have gone bad. I believe the majority of Americans are good people.

@@skipsmessyworkbench Yes you are very right that was what I meant to say .Thanks

Thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.

Thanks Bruce.

Thanks! That makes sense. Thanks for watching.

You are welcome. It is a great event and show.

Thanks! Thanks for watching,

Thanks. I think so too, especially since I really didn't put a lot of effort into. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. I'll be posting another update soon. It's a long process, but I'm having a ball with it. Spoiler alert, I also have the Jupiter II and the Chariot in line next. Thanks for watching.

You're welcome. Thanks for watching.

Thanks and thanks for watching

Yes, I wish it was 1:24 or 1:25, but it is what it is. There's not a lot of detail. But it's a cool truck. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching.

I think it is? We'll see when I start getting the parts of the sprue and seeing how they go together. Atlantis kits are usually pretty good. There's not a lot of detail so I have to watch that I don't go crazy trying to add some 🤣.

Thanks Mike. The scripture is my small way of spreading the word of God to anyone willing to watch and read. Each one of my video's have different readings toward the end. Thanks for watching!!!

Thanks!!! and thanks for watching.

Thanks Bruce!!! I don't always do factory colors. It was only on this one that I wanted it factory order. Every car I ever owned, except one, was and is black. I love black cars. I had a '49 Plymouth Coupe Deluxe, a '66 Plymouth Valiant 200, '82 Dodge Challenger, '92 Mazda Portege' and now a 2010 Mazda 3; all black. My '72 Opel Manta Rally was Flame Red because I couldn't get it in Black. Oh how I loved the Opel. Best car I ever owned. I wish Opel would still import them. I use Gimp on Windows and Linux Zorin. My model shop computer runs Linux Zorin. My home office computer runs Windows because I have a couple of industrial apps that won't run on Linux. Thanks again!!!!

@@skipsmessyworkbench I have only ever had a black pickup and it is a 2000 Mazda B2500 I got from my boss for $500 bucks 6 years ago... I have has do many cars/trucks while I love blue and green, all of them have been tan, brown, silver, red, 1 black and only 2 out of a 18+ have been blue and none of the green... Lol Mostly due to cost of them and 95% of the were not over $500 bucks... Lol Now the 2004 Buick Rainier the kids bought me 2 years ago was $20,000 bucks! 🤯🤯🤯 I didn't have that much in all the cars I ever bought all together... 🤣 Zorn is good, I started back on Linux 8 years ago with Mint and have been on Arch for 4 years now with Leftwm/Spectrwm window managers and I do everything in Linux execpt for my 3D printer software is Windows only and I have dragged it around for years from one side of the room to another until I got the 3D printer so I had to hook it up... Lol Oh while Windows has access to my local network it has not seen the internet for 3 years and will not ever again... Lol Microshaft doesn't even need to know it is alive anymore... 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Take care my friend and stay cool, the humidity is awful today! Happy Saturday! LLAP 🖖

Yes...I finally broke. It was a perfect day today, Friday, 6/28. Mid 70's, no humidity. No basement shop today. thanks for watching.

Thank you! I found some 0805 size LEDs at Adafruit.com, but thanks for the lead. I went to Evan Designs website and see that they have some very interesting products, especially some the very small switches. Thanks again and thanks for watching.

❤👍

☺☺☺👉👉🔔

Yes. That's probably a good idea. I wasn't thinking.

Thanks Bruce. It is amazing, the lack of time available. And now, on top of everything else, it seems like I'm pushing a lawn mower twice per week. The grass here in the Keystone state is growing like weeds. The old time farmers used to say they could sit outside in evening and hear the corn growing. Well, I can sit on my patio and hear the grass growing. 😂🤣I guess I need to be thankful I can still push a lawn mower and remain active in all ways. I have been truly blessed and thank and praise God everyday. Thanks again and take care my UA-cam buddy.

Thanks.

I give it more than 2-years...LOL...😂🤣😂🤣. Actually, the blinking lights is the easy part. Even the fiber optics shouldn't be too bad. I'll be dragging my heals with the tread movement and adding RC controller...Ok...make it 10-years...LOL...😂🤣😂🤣. What matters to me is that I'm having a blast!!! Thanks for watching and I enjoy the comment(s).

Hi Bruce. I usually paint what and how I want, but this time I want to go with a factory paint scheme and factory stock. I'm leaning toward either Colonial White over Peacock Blue or Raven Black over Fiesta Red. I've actually been spending the bulk of my time on the Lost In Space B9 Robot. I'm having a blast with that kit and developing the electronics to animate as much of it as possible. Thanks for watching.

@@skipsmessyworkbench Sounds awesome! 🖖

Thank you. I have been truly blessed to have her with me yet and to be in good health. If I even make it to 92 I'd be happy to be in half her condition. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I plan to deepen the panel lines and have started around where the headlight rings meet the fenders. The lines out of box are very shallow. Thanks for watching and commenting. Thanks for the input on the color. I'm going to do some test spoons and see how they look.

@@skipsmessyworkbench to make myself clearer, I meant doors and trunk lines, but you probably knew that.

@@rayrussell6258 yah, I know that. 🙂

That is definitely an option. I saw one at a show with those colors and it was really sharp looking. Like I told another, I'm going to paint some test spoons and see how they look with actual paint. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@skipsmessyworkbench no problem brother!

Thanks. I'll consider that; however, acrylic water based paint does not adhere well to a chromed surface, so I have to give that some thought. Thanks for the tip on the rag top. I didn't know the '57 kit from AMT offered the rag top.

It could be that I'm anal 😂🤣. But really, there isn't a lot of room and I want to try doing the whole animation with Arduino's. I say Arduino's because the MP3 player seems to use a lot of Arduino resources so at this time I'm planning on the sound having it's own Arduino. Thanks for watching. Updates will be coming soon.

Thanks Tim.

You're welcome. Thanks for watching.

Yes...Ford really made some bad decision on this beautiful car, at least in my opinion and apparently yours. 😊

Did you build it? If so, is it on your UA-cam channel?

Haven’t built it yet. I don’t have a channel.

Thanks for the encouragement. I am happy with it, but I really don't like working with die cast. I do have another one just like this. I bought two at the time. One box was marked 1928 Model 'A' and the other 1931 Model 'A'; however, in the box they are identical kits, so maybe down the road I'll build the other one. I also have a 1:16 scale 1931 Model 'A' made by Minicraft. I wanted to build them because I had helped my neighbor restore a 1929 Model 'A'. I had such a good time doing that restoration, although his was all black. I guess that's why I always love those years of Model 'A's. His niece still has the car in the garage and I've been after her to sell it to me, but she won't budge. Thanks again my friend.

It was an experience. It's a good kit, I just learned that I don't like working with die cast.

Thanks. It is a good kit and although I say I don't want to display it, I will because it did turn out better than I expected. What I learned is that I don't like working with die cast.

I too am waaaaay behind on video's. Thanks and I'm almost 100% again.

That is my plan.

Thank. I hope to.

Thank. It is my plan.

Thanks for suggestion. This is the first time I've been sick in well over 10-years. The last time was also bronchitis.
