Okay guys, this is going here because I deal with the bigs rigs more. Before they changed the site around, I think I had the original building photos in "General". But, we are sticking with the truck section at the moment. Some of you may have seen my garage photos from before. A couple of refreshers: The beginning! In Progress: Now the good stuff! We are done! Started moving in my HO scale railroad stuff first. (needed to get it away from the ferrel cats) Model kits will be next. Enjoy!! Tell me what you think. Been about 3yrs in the making and the budget. Finally got it done!

I have a complete ERTL International Transtar Eagle 4300, as far as parts go. But I was about to start it and found out the instructions are not there!!! Anyone???? Need help!

OK.......gonna build one thread to show some of my completed work and lots of in progress. I have not posted in awhile so, I figured this was the best use of my time. As I get some of the WIP rigs finished/farther along, I will seperate and post individually. So, here goes.
First up: completed Revell W900 snap. Box stock for parts but improvements include; filled interior mount tabs both rear of sleeper and side of cab. Engine locator pins removed for concealment. Engine has official CAT yellow (friend used to work at the CAT house and gave me a gallon of touch up)




Next up: Repair job on a half built WIP; ERTL MACK DM600 with a 3/4in stretch to fit the AMT Autocar dump body. Was started probably 15 to 20 years ago and went to storage. Cats got into the storage and broke the frame and other pcs. Put frame back together and ended up with a bow in it so we put strips to smooth that out. The rest is self explanatory.



Mud daubers too.....hate em!!!

Third in line: AMT Ford Louisville Delivery; almost box stock except I took the tandem rears from the AMT GMC Astro (cuz it went single-next one) and it will be a granite counter top/headstone co. hauler.

Next on next entry.
