Old Buckaroo Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Brian thank you for the information and pictures. That hood open pic is worth its weight in gold ! Dave - thank you for the offer. Rich - Thank you, I value your opinion and I have decided to leave the tanks as they are. Too much of the Domino effect. Besides my Wife says Black is a "slimming color" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpreadAxle Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Nice work. I've seen the restored truck and trailer in person at the 2008 ATHS annual convention. I should still have the pix I took if you would like them. Also, I downloaded the photo from the owner's website that had the measurements for the trailer as well if needed.I have to find that one. If I still have it I will share it. It's a 1960 Trailmobile asphalt tanker. Edited February 2, 2016 by SpreadAxle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Buckaroo Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 Ray - what a privilege to get to see that truck in person. With the photo help from everyone I fabricated up the dual hoses off the air filter. Thank you for all the help and sharing your pictures.

cowboy rich Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 From what I can remember it looks right to me. Did you sandblast the tires? Looks like it's coming together good for you.Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Buckaroo Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 Rob - I am happy you are following along and truly appreciate your comments !Rich - the tires are resin and painted. That is my trademark tire color from building aircraft models with resin tires years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpreadAxle Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 It was a treat seeing it in person. I still haven't found the pic containing the trailer's measurements but I'm still looking in case anyone wants it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murphy's Law Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 (edited) I was able to crawl around the Duck mack in about 2008 or so in St. Louis. The trailer that is attached is one of two trailers used in filming and still shows the damage from the jail scene. I thought I had the dimensions for it, but can't seem to find it in my files. Here's a linky to all the pics I have from the movie, models and such. None of the kits are mine, just downloaded for reference. And sorry about the ordering. Really want one of these AITM kits now... Edited February 4, 2016 by Murphy's Law Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatorincebu Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Sean, You are doing some really nice work on this build. What color do you use on your tires? I started using Tamiya Nato Black For airbags. And I am thinking it will look good on the tires as well. Be Well Gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k100 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Nice start on the "Duck" , Ive been wanting one of those, I just might have to get me one now . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superpeterbilt Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Nice work Sean.It looks good in primer. Ill admit that this isnt my favorite movie truck, but Ive thought about using the 1/32 Mack and tanker to make a diorama of the Duck hanging off of a scale bridge at the fims end. I dont currently have the room for that kind of layout, but it will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Buckaroo Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 This is a great thread of information due to all the posted pictures and reference's thank you for all the contributions. Gator - Tamiya Nato black is an excellent color for tires and airbags. Mark - If I was to do it again I would find a R model and scratch build the hood and other items. Terry - I really liked the movie truck , but not so much the model as it is really hard to give so much black definition without it looking like a black blob. Chris - Thank you for the trailer specs. I am still making forward progress, the cab is painted black and drying which seems to take forever as it shows any flaw - smudge, fingerprint way more then any color. Thank you all for input and comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72 Charger Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) Your doing some great work Sean . As for using the R-600 Cab that's what I did with mine. The hood is AITM and the sleeper is scratched . Trailer is still waiting to be finished Edited February 15, 2016 by 72 Charger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10thumbs Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Rich - the tires are resin and painted. That is my trademark tire color from building aircraft models with resin tires years ago. Sean, You are doing some really nice work on this build. What color do you use on your tires? I started using Tamiya Nato Black For airbags. And I am thinking it will look good on the tires as well.Guys, with the fear of possible infringement on Sean's Trademark, you might want to try Black Primer from Vallejo, pretty good looking tire paint.Why so secretive?

Superpeterbilt Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 The water well in his town dried up and they were having to truck in water. They had to relocate, after they had just moved there. Im sure he will be back once he gets set up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
