    Scored some pretty cool built up old Macks! the mixer is pretty rough, but the R model is a decent build and ill probably do some minor tweaking to it and give her some good ol' dirt! The mixer might get traded off , I don't know yet.

    Where are the tires from?

    I'm lookingninto building a heavy haul or oilfield truck and all I have is 1/25 stuff and I was wondering if the italeri and/or revell frames are generic? And would a 1/24 frame be a good fit with a 1/25 cab to resemble a heavier frame? Thanks in advance guys!

    I'll second that paint scheme, I really like the color choice as well
  5. guitarsam326
    Man I like the way those spokes are painted, did you hand paint the outer stripe?
  6. guitarsam326
    Fantastic build, and I'm with ya on the no chrome, there's nothin like an old school workhorse!

    That's cool, just curious. If you want some smaller diameter wire, try wire wrap, that's what I use if I want something smaller than 22 awg.

    Yes, it does help knowing someone has as much aggravation as I do with these air lines! Is the yellow line telephone wire? The reason I ask is I use telephone wire but it doesn't want to hold its shape without a fight!

    This thing is too cool! What did you use for the mesh around the exhaust stack?
  10. guitarsam326
    Terry, those air lines look great, how did you get them so symmetrical? And what type of wire did you use?
  11. guitarsam326
    awesome, now I know what to do with mine!
  12. guitarsam326
    You can do it today! I've only been seriously building for two years and its this site that gave me inspiration, along with a lot of great people that are eager to help, I'll answer any question I can for ya!
  13. guitarsam326
    Thanks guys, solves the dilemma, I don't get a chance to get out to those stores too often, but I'll be makin a trip now!

    How did you "punch" out disks for the air bags, I've been trying to make disks out of styrene with not so great luck.

    A girl, she weighed 6 pounds and she was 19 inches, and yeah, I havnt even seen the bench but it's well worth it.

    thanks a lot Dan, I really want to take some outside shots, but with the baby being less than a week old, I don't really have time for ANYTHING! but maybe in a few weeks ill get outside!

    I'd love to see anything from the 40's through the 60's especially a terex twin detroit belly pan or a CAT motor grader.

    all you need for the air lines is a good quality SOLID wire phone cable or an Ethernet cable to get the wires out of, then you can wrap them around some small rod to mimic coiled hoses.

    with those five holes up front and the spokes in back, you should just cut up the hood and have a nice lookin 351! (it'll look great anyway, im just partial to the narrow noses!)

    Yeah, our Mack granites have the 285 steers, I'm not sure of the wheelbase, but they're tandem dumps with enough room for 2 drop axles and they don't turn worth a dang!
  21. guitarsam326
    Very nice pics Clayton I like the first one best!
  22. guitarsam326
    i see dump trucks just like those here in NC, we have some brick trucks with three drop axles in the middle and another on the rear, those things look a mile long and I'm sure they turn like a yacht!
  23. guitarsam326
    Id like to get a good match for the burgundy/red or whatever and the white, I can't get over how good the box art looks!
  24. guitarsam326
    Man, what a mammoth! beautiful job!
  25. guitarsam326
