Was so glad to meet Tim and see his builds in person. Hope you enjoy his builds as much as I enjoyed them! 👍🙂
I always loved seeing his work in the model magazines. It must have been awesome to see his work in person and to get to meet him as well. It must have been quite the chore to haul those trucks in and out of the venue. Thanks for sharing.
So very true Alan, it was a treat for sure! Bringing 1 or 2 semi trucks can be a challenge, I can't imagine bring 40.
I have followed his work for years. His hobby room is just as impressive. A TRUE craftsman in every sense of the word, Thanks for showing Tim!
So very true David!!
I can’t help but think of the hours of work on that table. I’m inspired by seeing so much detail. Love the trucks.
You and me both!
Very nice, Tim. Thanks for sharing. Every model that Tim has built is an inspiration to all of us. And the work he has done with Round2 has made the hobby better for everyone. Gosh, I can’t imagine taking that many models to a show. I think he needed a Peterbilt to get them there…..
I agree 100%
Tim, Great video work! Tim's Semi builds are OVERWHELMING! So many different kinds of trucks! Anyone that likes trucks, can really appreciate his work! 👍🏻
So very true Mark! 🙂👍
I like the snow plough and the cement mixer, thanks for sharing. Yes I am not a truck builder but still great to see.
Yes, those were cool builds!
A great lineup of masterly builded trucks. One eyecatcher against the next one. Great! 👍
Have a good week, Tim. Greetings, Joachim
I agree Joachim, glad you enjoyed. 🙂

I think so too Kevin! 👍🙂
Belle vidéo 👌 😉. Superbes réalisations. De très beaux modèles américains. Super 👌 👍. 🇺🇸 🇫🇷 👍
🙂So true Alain👍
@@THROTTLEPOWER Oui 👍 😉. Super.
They do look amazing 😃👍
I agree!
Wow. Realistic
So true!!
Great builds!! The patinaed tanker build @ ~ 6:01 (I'm not good w/ trucks but I think it's an old Peterbilt) reminds me of the truck in the '71 made-for-TV movie 'Dual'.
Yes, that was a really cool build Johnny
It is the truck from Duel
@@Mackinac359 👍👍
Alrighty Tim, great job, and Thanks for posting this Tim truck tour! Real glad you got to meet him, wonder if you found out things you didn't know on his builds. I would want to know more on what it takes to scratch the super tankers, love to make one. Closest I have is four of the Italeri BP tankers to do up a KW roadtrain.
Yes, it was great to talk to him!! Love the Italeri BP kit, it can build up into a very nice tanker.
Tim is quite the profilic modeler. I first corresponded with him 20 years ago or so.
He is a great guy!!
Beautiful work great video thank u for sharing
Thank you!!
Amazing display, really nice work!
I think so too Jeff!
That a lot to bring to. A show and set up very cool
Yes it is, I was very impressed. Just bringing 1 or 2 semi trucks can be a challenge!
I spend more time unpacking and packing as I do enjoying the show it seems.
@@Mackinac359 I can relate to that!
Wow! No wonder you've been following him for so long. Amazing trucks. There was one in the beginning that reminded me of the movie "Dual." I don't know if that's where he was going with it, either way, a lot of cool trucks
Yes, so true!
That's awesome thanks for sharing the pics roll on 18 wheeler
So glad you enjoyed Ron!
Dang nice builds ❤😊
I agree Shawn 🙂
Great video Tim’s work is amazing , I would check his web site all the time , but now can’t get on his site anymore . 😔
Yes, he does great work! 🙂
I remember when he was at Hank's Truck Pictures website!
Yes........ Where does the time go????
That's what I remember! Hanks truck pics! That how I first seen any of his builds.
Hanks still up and working?
@@modelcrusher I'm not sure
Wish I could get my truck built for my grandson
What truck is it?
Cool
So glad you enjoyed!!
Lindo demais 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️🇧🇷
I agree 🙂 👍
Can tell he’s from Michigan,those tanker trailers have more wheels than a centipede has legs
So true Robert 🙂
Hey tim
I take it he don't have a youtube channel
Hell I can't imagine finding that many spare axels
It definitely is an art form
Awesome work
You gonna make it to Freeze Frame only got a month it's the 26
I hear there gonna have the meet and greet at the Liberty Diner 25 try the onion soup
No channel Butch..... Probably won't make it to Freeza Frame this year.
🤨☹️
@@bkmodelcars Hate to miss as I've been going to the Ft. Wayne show for over 35-40 years..... Back when Preston put it on.
Awesome I love to kno his transport secret, very fragile ..
You and me both!
I like your trucks kw wva😅
They sure are nice! 👍
Lovely models, all of them
How do you keep the chassis straight so that the engine is not out of line with it when you come to fit it?
So glad you enjoyed Paul. 🙂
I'm not sure what Tim does, but as I assemble the front and rear axels onto the chassis I try to make sure everyting stays straight. Then the engine should go in ok.
I've had a few problems with the engine not fitting into the chassis because of the chassis not being straight on models I've made in the past
Hence my question, many thanks for your reply 👍
@@paullloyd6821 👍👍
what is his utube channel
He dosen't have one.
How can i teach you cant find your website. Looking for any old motocross models a1976 ponitac trans am several contact me thx great videos
Which website are you looking for?
Not sure where you can get those kits Matt
He's a great model builder. Too bad other builders aren't recognized for their tallents. It always goes to one, and if anyone asks me he is a professional, what is HE doing going to "compitiions" and trying to steel the average man's glory? Don't he have enough glory?
I don't know........ What do you like to build?
@@THROTTLEPOWER lol well I use to love building hot rod cars and muscle cars, but I'm very bad at it. My builds are always horable looking, and that's why I crushed just about everything I ever built. I just mostly love to watch them getting built now.
I could say so much but I think I say too much sometimes. I just love and respect the models I see being built, more than the other
@@modelcrusher Ok.... Is that how you came up with the name modelcrusher?
@@THROTTLEPOWER lol Yes it is I suppose, because I crush them but I do it because I love the feeling of doing it to. I also love watching it and that's how I got started. I wanted to see it done a certain way by my girlfriend back in the day, and she did it but never quite right and I would ask her to do it differently and/or with certain shoes she had. Well one day when I had a lot of crappy cars ready and I had plans for her to crush them all, she made me try on her favorite little black boots that she would use, that I loved so much, and when I did they fit me absolutely perfectly! She teased me, and she " made me" show her "exactly how" i wanted her to do it, and when i was crushing the first one she got like really into it! And so did I so much! She could tell 😉 exactly how much it excited me 😁 if you understand and she proceeded to FORCE ME 😉 to show her on one more, and then one more and she got me to crush every single one myself instead!
I had a blast actually it was crazy how much I loved to do it, even SO MUCH MORE than I did originally watching her do it. It became a thing for awhile with her and she would get me to build more cars lol but tell me they will be for her to crush next time, and I literally got excited to do that. Even though I sucked at building them it was so much fun yet. I would her allot! But secretly I started wanting to be the one crushing them and I would secretly wish or hope for her to "force me" to be the one who crushes them! I didn't care to watch her do it anymore anyway because I loved doing it myself more now, and she always made me try on different pairs of her highheels after that first time, and my small feet fit every pair she had like a glove! I ended up loving it, I mean crushing them so bad! It got to a point I was making a lot more models than I ever did before.
I did it myself years before we dated though but in my regular clothes and shoes, but that was not as fun.
@@modelcrusher Ok
