Guys. Just seen this the other day on Atlantis web site. Now we have glass for or White 3000 trucks!

👍Great find Lee'.  I'll never understand why Revell didn't supply windows with theses models in the first place'... It's also amazing how much we'll spend to get a model to look the way we want it to ...👀😃

Lee, hope you’re feeling better. I just ordered the “glass” for my build of the tanker, and I’m taking time building it. It’s a nice kit.

Thank you for the information. It has been a longtime since I built any models, I was disappointed that the glass was not included. Do models no loner include the glass?

Also has anyone built this White 3000 yet? I would like to see some completed, I have not started on mine.

Okay Lee, second order placed.  I've been holding of on building the gas truck due to no windows.... Now that can happen... Once I get my eyes fixed👀 that is...😃

Thanks guys for the well wishes. Yes most model includes glass these days. Here’s mine when Revell The original producers of this model had it. Atlantis bought from Revell

Great to hear you guys bought the glass I was hoping I could help. It’s easy to build on your finial part of the build leave the cab off the frame and the roof. Then put your glass in.

Paul, great looking scene and some really wonderful cars! Never heard of the beer but do like the car and story behind it!

Lee wonderful find on the windows!

I bought my first Corgi today at the goodwill that really didnt cost me anything cause I was buying a bag of cars for the grandkids to play with. It just sucks its the wrong size! LOL Maybe next time!

@lee drennen wishing you a quick a speedy recovery to full health! KNow you’ve got a great many people holding you in their thoughts!

also- nice Revell Tanker! Has me thinking of some things of my own I’d like to post but the ones below have waited too long

New additions to the on-going military presence on the layout:

Corgi Classics British Army Land Rover with Trailer. Between 1/43 and 1/50 in scale

Greenlight 1/43 United Nations Jeep Willys

Convoy escorting the Texaco Pipeline company truck to its construction zone

Comparrison of 4 Jeep Willy’s by 4 different manufacturers(from top to bottom: Cararama, Greenlight, Solido, K-Line), all stated to be 1/43, it’s nice to see consistency:

I decided to take the oversized Corgi Rolla Royce off the layout and replace it with this Elicor 1/43 Bentley T

Next, two items of the TOFC variety:

First is an Atlas Front Runner(diecast) with a Xtra Lease 45’ Pines Trailer(came as a set). from the first run by Atlas around 2001

I bought the Trailer & Front Runner mainly  for the Front Runner. The Xtra Lease Trailer didn’t come with its wheelbase and my other, newer trailer’s wheelbase pops in and out of the Xtra Lease in too snug of a manner for my liking- hence it’s been relegated to sitting on these I-beams. Ordered some replacement parts

not sure if I posted this- at least not here. The C&NW trailers were $5 a piece which I thought was a steal!(yes they’re plastic, but they’re still nice lookin’). And the flat was a decent price so I bought the lot

Artie. Thanks so much for the well wishes

Steve. Thanks for the well wishes and thoughts it good to know I have people here that cares. Thanks for the complement on the tanker. I built that back in 1995. Those pics look good and thanks for sharing them. Post more that’s what this thread is all about

Steve, you have some good looking stuff there! Thanks for sharing, sure opens up the idea bank! LOL

I bought 2 sets of glass for the White 3000 Atlantis gas truck like Ted so we’ll see what happens.

My wife bought this for me today at Hobby Lobby and this one has Glass. I have a old Revell one I’ve custom built that’s almost done I’ll try out the glass out of this one and post the results.

North Main Street...

Nice pics Paul. Thanks for posting sharing

🤪The latest restore showed up today at the garage'.. Our best technicians will have to attend to this poor baby.  They will have their work cut out for them'... 👀

Paul, great photos! I am starting to think you have a things for blondes! LOL But I do have to say the brunet on the corner behind the Riviera really stands out! LOL
Ted I have faith in you and your crew! I just hope you know a good glass guy!

Ok Ted, let’s see what you can do!

Looking forward to seeing it.

Thanks for keeping the faith'..Next Wednesday, I finally get my cataract removed from my left eye.(my good eye). So I'm hoping after a few days,I'll be able to get back to work.  This is the longest spell that I haven't built, restored, run trains, and no photography.  Been tough.

I write this in the largest font, then reduce it, and send it out..  🤪👺👀

Ahh! That’s right you mentioned that to me before. I know quite a few people that have had that done and they say it’s a breeze. You’ll be back at it very shortly thereafter.  On another note, my latest, a Corgi Toronado has its primer coat on. It will be going into the paint shop soon. I’m trying something new with this one, we’ll have to see if it works. Will keep you posted.
