Here is the tanker truck currently going through the Anderson Lines Paint Shop. This vehicle is being constructed for Jade Fog Chemicals of El Paso.

In addition is another School Bus From Armadillovile that is going to have some tranny work done then recieve a new paint job.

I have some more work to do. I haven't even painted the bus yet. I have to think on it cause my yellow paint is quite literally BLARX.

Is the tank going to be black? Because I think grey would work nicer with the cyan blue

It was a hot wheels peterbilt with a matchbox tanker truck tank. These are some of my favorite hot wheels ever made.

I know, but they are quite expensive. A lot of this project for Armodilloville is focusing on hand-crafting models. It's keeping my mind-sharp through the bland humdrum of day to day life, and also helps relieve some of my stress and anxiety. Plus I'm rather proud of my painting skills. I bet I could do some awesome stuff if I learned to airbrush. My dad has an airbrush too, so I may have to play with that next summer.

I'm also just kinda using what I have around too. It brings it's own challenge that way.

Here is the model the Jade Fog's tanker came off of. It's a Matchbox, but I think it looks okay on the hotwheels.
