    • AMT Ford C 900/Garwood LP 900 refuse truck
      By Brian Conn · Posted
      Shot this first light coat of color with the air brush....turns out there was cracks in the pick up tube...will have to sand out the areas of splatter and re shoot, other than that I'm o.k with it.  
    • Paasche vinyl tube alternative
      By Brian Conn · Posted
      I shoot a Paasche VL airbrush w/the 1 oz. glass jar.  After my last session, I went to clean the air brush and discovered cracks in the vinyl pick up tube that is in the glass jar.  
       1/8" I.D X 1/4" O.D micro fuel line (Red) One foot of fuel line cost me $2.00...enough to last me a long time.  
        As it turns out,the inside dia. of micro fuel line (gas powered weed eaters as an example) is a perfect fit over the fitting on the glass jar lid.  Instead of trying to clean the pick up tube every time I use the air brush,I will just simply replace the used pick up tube with a new, clean one.

    • Prison City Model Show
      By Brian Conn · Posted
      I went to the annual Prison City Model show in Leavenworth, Ks. ...did'nt show a truck, rather a dirt track Gran Torino that garnered me a 3rd place finish in the competition class....enough of the car stuff.        This American La France 900 series pumper that pays homage to the 343 New York City firefighters that lost their lives in the line of duty on 9-11 won an award in the truck category...built by Brian Gauthier of the Show Me State Modelers....plenty of after market and scratch building.       One clean cab over.

      Thank you for your comments, they are much appreciated!   For me to have a youtube channel I would more or less have to convert the hobby room into a studio....I would much rather build than have to deal with releasing videos....I feel that I would become a slave to making youtube videos thus ruining any relaxation that I get from building.  Secondly, I would not want my name associated with some of the advertising that is viewed there.   I would much rather have a million friends than a million views.   As far as action goes on this build or any future truck build for that matter here,on these forums, is where its at....your not going to find them any place else.   Here are the links I think that you are referring to......     Here  is the link for glass weathering:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzFUIrzNCWY     Here is the link for headliners: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIXPfZCrSe4   If anyone ever has any questions on how I did something , I would gladly like to be of assistance
