landman Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 Thank you all for the kind words. Despite the hurdles, I actually enjoyed this build very much. Meanwhile I started on the large tools for my engine shop diorama. I tackled a crankshaft grinder first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either this one in FTB colors Or this one done as a plain old daycab tractor with a scratchbuilt Blue Diamond.

Petetrucker07 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Sounds like another great build either way. I'm beginning to think you don't like styrene cabs. Just messin, you definitely have workin with resin down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just messin, you definitely have workin with resin down.It does look like that doesn't it. It's mostly because I don't see anything that excites me in styrene. Maybe an old Transtar cabover some day.
