My first:

Or follow the suggestions that came with the kit.

It looks to me like you used a Sharpie.   

[jimmo]

Never use a Sharpie for this kind of application. It will bleed when clear-coated.

  Yeah, come on guys. Thats what happens after a few beers in front of the computer looking at train stuff. Your modeling judgement is slightly impaired. 

This is closer to what it will look like:





And this is what is on my workbench right now. It is a F150 which is too light duty of a truck for this bucket truck application. I can not find a modern f250 super duty cab to use so it will stay an F150 for now.

I quit. Between you and MC it's obvious where all the up and coming talent is in the Railwire.

I'm just glad Nils decided to come to Free-moN!
Will definitely have to step up my game, yo.

Would a first generation Odyssey work as a stand-in?  Even though it is 1:150 scale, it has the correct dimensions for a 1:160 scale second generation Odyssey.

The model is currently available in Basic Set H2 with a silver paint job.

I just found these on ebay? Not sure who is doing these, but from the photos, the castings don't seem to even come close to the quality of Jimmo's castings. I like some of the selection, but probably wont be ordering any unless the quality seems to improve.

His name is Joe Phillips. Depending on your interpretation of scale fidelity, he might have something you could use. He wanted to partner with me a while back but I turned him down. His models are a combination of copied (even from me), reworked from other models and hand-carved. Most of his newest models are his own dental wax carvings. Last time I talked to him he was thinking of quitting the model vehicle business to start a lawn care business.
