Amtronic Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 The bulk hauler showing the dump action. The lite blue KW T-600 daycab. The teal Mack R685. W-925 with T-600 aero sleeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtronic Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 Went a little crazy building lowboys. I think I maxed out on this one. The lift pylons are spring loaded so it rides up and down. Since I took the picture I have added a rear steer platform for the rear section. It took 3 lowboy trailer kits to make it. The tractor is a W925 with a kitbashed hood to make a T-800. A genuine transit mixer with torsion bar suspension. Found at a swap meet but I had to pay dearly for it. Lets go camping. Scratchbuilt cattle trailer.

Amtronic Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Pickup trucks. I love the AMT Silverado kits, there are so many choices between glue kits, snap kits, monster truck kits, and collectibles that I have built too many to count. This one is a dually snap kit, with the Open Road camper cut down to be a slide-in camper. Another kitbash mixing parts from several kits. I picked the ugliest colors I could for a shop truck. Race car ramp truck with bomber class car. Found rare GMC grille and wrecker arm in a swap meet junk box. Had to build it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
