My first big rig model


Recommended Posts

Thanks everybody for your comments,

Cobra, I've thought about chopping the top on this one, but I want to hold off that ideal until the next one. Well here I have done some more things to it

I've streached the frame

And I have also made a 5th wheel cover

The ribbed front fenders and the cowl panels looks awsome. Scale it out take 8 inches out of the roof get that chopped look. Then put some 22.5 low pro tires all around. Lookin' good. Keep up the good work.

Do you have any of those 22.5 low pro's?

Ben,

If things go the way I want them to I might start resin castting them?

But this will not happen until January.

Thanks everybody for your comments on this truck. Like I said this is my first one and I hope there will be more to do later on in the new year.

In case you didn't know, your kit was previously known as the Black Magic Peterbilt. The article I gave you the link for refers to the BM Pete.

If this is no help to you I'm sorry! :oops:
