Thanks for the compliment Brian. I hope there dry enough to put them on soon. That tractor paint takes forever to dry

I appreciate that Jeff.

Here’s some updates I did over the weekend not much but inching towards the finish line. Added a rear crossmenber, Pintle Hitch and Mudflats.

This turned out to be a great looking truck. Nice details and your hard work paid off. I like it

Nice looking Pete.

Outstanding build you have captured the right look of the real truck. Congratulations on a great build.

Very clean crisp build I like the color combo matches the era of the truck. You did a great job on it.

The truck looks good nice work on the conversion I’m glad you got it finished.

Gary your trailer is beautiful. I like the wood grain going to be nice rig.

Well I’m calling it a day on this. Tomorrow I’ll be adding the pintle hitch and adding some spreader chains made from a necklace my daughter had. Yes I asked if she had an old one she didn’t wear 😂

Thanks Jeff I appreciate it. I just thought of that idea this morning. I have to add a crossmember to the rear of the frame to attach the Hitch.

Did some more work early this morning on the Acar Dump Truck. I painted the headlights, engine fan, radiator stroud. Painted and added the hood hinges. Then I decided to make a Pintle Hitch out of the front dump bed mudflap and the taillights. The Pintle hook is from the AMT Logging trailer.

Sit boy sit 😂

Thanks Scott I might take you up on one I have another idea for one.

Nice update Scott at least you got a little bench time this week that helps. Looks good. I’m going to try to get you a pic of that old 1969 Brockway 360 Dump Truck I drove back in 1992. I guess I need to buy a Resin cab like it and build it one day. If you need any spare parts for that Acar suspension let me know I have a lot of Acar parts still.

Yes my fault and I forgot some names too every time. You model is looking so good like the details as always just amazing build.

It’s Lee 😂

A superb build for sure I like it and the details are awesome. It’s great all the modelers took the time to chip in to help you create your dream. Well done Jeff.

Very nice build I like the color scheme it’s and a great tribute. I’m sorry for your loss I was fortunate enough like Steve to ride with my dad when I was very young and as I got older he taught me how to drive a truck. I can just imagine the emptiness you feel.

Brian catching up and liked all the details added since I left. I like those chains another nice touch.

Going to be nice and interesting build Gary. I’ll be dropping in now and then.

I’ve made those kinda load for my Gondola and Hopper cars using the same method on my model Railroads. I might try it. Thanks for the reminder. If you want to see some of my model Railroads Ho Scale and O scale I think it’s here somewhere 😂. Scott thanks for stopping by I appreciate it.

Gary thanks I appreciate that I’m glad you like it.

Thanks for stopping by Brian for the compliment. That’s a reflection of the light I don’t have that steady of a hand 😂

Fun how you guys over the pond has different name for the same thing here. I’ve never heard them call that Steve you learn something every day thanks. I’ve heard of Tippers because of the little Matchbox dump trucks.
