Diamond Reo Junkyard Dump Truck


Recommended Posts

  • 6 months later...

With all of the Diamond Reo's currently being built, I was moved to pull mine down. The tri axle to be specific. I filled in the holes in the hood and started puttying. I did some work to the dump body as well. I added graceful curves to the cabguard, and started building the frame for the tailgate. I swapped out the missmatched tanks for a set of Autocar tanks. I would like to have it in paint by the end of the weekend.

Thanks guys. This is totally just some uninspired, let the model build itself type of projects. Sometimes, those end up being some great pieces of the collection. I'm using some decals made by a friend of mine with my late grandfathers name on it. He never had a Diamond Reo, but if he did, it'd look like this!
