Dutzie Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Finally got to the bench for a few hours last night. Still working on the weathering and blending it all together. I will also be adding a flatbed trailer to the build. Edited July 6, 2020 by Dutzie Add pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigred63 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Wow, what a great looking model! I'm almost tempted to break out my kit! It would be awesome if, someone would make the Hood and all the other part needed, out of Resin! The hood could be used, for other kits.

I’m looking at doing it, but I reckon Round 2 will magically find the moulds. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben I would not be surprised, look what seems to be happening with the never reissued Challenge Mixer, it's supposed to come out later this year after what I have read, true or not I don't know as I haven't read a public confirmation on it from Round2.

I bet if you did mold some of these parts, they would definitely sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to get the lights, horn, and exhaust mounted along with filling some extra holes and will then start the overspray and extra mud and dirt.

I would like to make a narrow hood version to mould. I’m trying to track down a real truck or spec sheet to measure up. I love what you’ve done with this Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutzie Posted July 18, 2020 Author Share Posted July 18, 2020 Made a little more progress on the build. Once the trailer is complete, I will then add the spray from the road and extra weathering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
