Hey Josh....
That is an impressive array of trucks you got there!:thumb:

I was admiring the subtle and realistic weathering that you have given them and thinking back to when you first started to weather. I remember a certain person felt that everybody was being too "nice" to you and that you wouldn't get better without a proper critique. Well, I also remember saying that you already knew what to do, you just needed practice and encouragement. Josh, you have shown that our faith was well placed!
I don't know of anyone that has improved more than you in so short a time. Your modeling and weathering keep getting better and more realistic with every new project. It really is awesome to see!:thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:
That USF trailer is stupendous!!!!

Just slow down a little and let the rest of us catch up!:winker:


WOW Steve, i dont even know what to say but THANK-YOU SO MUCH for the KIND and ENCOURAGING words :wave: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I have to say that if it wasnt for our good buddy Deano, i would have never started weathering in the first place and i wouldnt be anywhere near where i am now :mrgreen: :mrgreen:. Thank-you so much again Steve :thumb: :mrgreen:

Market Transport

A-line 53' Reefer Trailer painted and decaled to match prototype. Reefer unit was painted black, fuel tank was painted silver, trailer floor, suspension, and landing gear were painted grey, top, bottom, front top and bottom rails and tire rims were painted silver. The rear door was no easy task at all, decals didnt go on so well. I need to get some Micro-Sol to help set the decals. I might have to re-do the door with another set of decals also. Also weathering will help cover the "bad decal job" up :eek:ops: lol
