Well, got the sanding done tonight, dry then wet. For my first time I think it went well (Except for accidentally sanding down some rivets

). Feels super smooth.

Well folks, it looks like it's time for some painting!

Stay tuned...

A friend of mine is going to help me shoot this in his painting box sometime soon, so the paint should turn out better! And this time I won't forget the clear coat!

Hey guys, how much will a little putty show up under the paint? Will a little be OK? Or should I go sand more? It's all pretty flush, just that bottom rivet area. Thanks!

Should be painting any week now. Does Tamiya make a clear coat? Thanks guys!

Thanks fhhhstix!

I filled a little spot I missed last night. Sand it today, but it might not need it...

Time for an update before a big wait.

But it's for a very good cause!

So, truck is almost done, just fixing the rear panel, because someone can never sand straight with a dremel.

But I have bigger plans for this truck, as far as the cab. Hoping to get another one of Silvio's cabs. It'll be a W900B with no sleeper. I'm really excited!

This cab will go on another truck, or maybe if I get a Knight, then I'll put the W900B cab on it and the KH cab on this one. So, maybe paint the cab, maybe not, but whatever happens we will have an awesome cab on this thing soon!

Until then-

Great first truck though man! I def learned a bit from reading this thread mostly when it comes to the filler materials. That trick of using the back panel of the sleeper to fill in the back of the cab is pretty cool!
