Mclean White Road Commander

[DRIPTROIT 71]

This was built on an AMT Chevrolet Titan chassis. It is powered by a 903 Cummins. The casting was pretty rough, probably an amateur copy of the old Jamar fuberglass cab. The drive tires are my last Clint Freeman tires.

Great looking Road Commander!  Really well done.

[Rockford]

The casting doesn't look rough anymore! What a great looking rig. Well done. 

[Engine 51]

Tis a beauty!

Like I said on the MTB forum, the weathering is spot-on. Perfect amount of dust and grime from the road. 5th wheel grease is awesome, too.

sweet build great work on the weathering

[grodudulle77]

Very realistic, nice work !! ??

[Bronzekeg]

that's a great build, plain and simple stated.

[ChrisR]

Looks great!

[1959scudetto]

Absolutely great build of a no-nonsense typical fleet truck, Brian: Outstanding weathering - dust and grime - makes it look so realistic (also the absence of chrome bling-bling like vertical exhaust pipes and the like)

Very well done!

[Warren D]

I wouldn't know it was resin if you didn't say it was.  Great look!  Is that the AITM battery box/airtank?  I've been looking for a bunch of them.....

Thanks Warren!! The battery box is styrene from the parts box, but I don’t remember what kit it came from.

[tractoraholic]

Nice looking tractor, I really like the used fleet look you give to your trucks.

[catpack68]

 Very nice work Brian!?

[cifenet]

This is very convincing and I like how gradually the tone of red changes from bottom to top.  
Thanks for sharing this, it is beautiful.

Great job Brian , very realistic looking .

[Needlenosehunter]

Love the realism! Amazing job!

[Bainford]

I love checking out your builds. Always a high degree of realism and interesting subject matter. This one certainly fills the bill. The weathering is spot on.  Beautiful work. 

[Dutzie]

What a sharp looking tractor. Excellent work!

[leafsprings]

Fantastic job on this Road Commander!  You have perfected the "in from the long haul look".

Thanks Steve!! My process is usually trial and error, often heavy on the error, but I was pretty happy with how this one turned out.

Thanks Trevor!! I always have an internal battle; should I leave it shiny or weather it a bit.
