Looking good, Man....Looking good.....These are my favorite rigs, for sure.....No expense spared....Custom race rig....Love 'em....

This is a really interesting project.....The more it comes together, the more I find myself more intrigued..... Looks awesome, already....

Come to think about it....Look at the box on the Moebius kit.....Amazing....

Lol....That's pretty good.....It sure is one heck of a shot, Man....I know I'm impressed....I may have to blow it up, myself and put it on MY wall.... It's that good....

Sounds like your dad was a pretty savvy sort of player back in the day.....Shade tree engineering at it's best.....Impeccable ingenuity....

Great shots of those rigs, Clayton....Amazing what you can haul these days.....And that Lonestar is just beautiful....And to be honest, that's a really GOOD picture....."Poster on the wall" worthy....It, seriously, looks like you got it from a brochure....Excellent shot.....

No question....This is going to be a BEAST !!!!! You've got an excellent start, too....Outstanding.....

Yeah, Bud....I think we've all noticed the lack of drive tires for just about ANY scale.....Even KJ has inquired about making some duals in 1/16 scale......I like those supers, though....And the fronts.....They look good....

Looking good, Man.... I'm with you on your thinking regarding paint....I have to use primer, for the paint I use....Krylon, Rustoleum, and such, but I know the more I try to get things evened out the worse it gets.....I've screwed some decent paint jobs up trying to make it "a little bit better".....I used Testors spray paints for a while, but I get way more for my money with the conventional cans.....So I learned to use those, but I liked the fact that you could spray the Testors paints right on the model without primer..... This one has a great start....

Man, this looks good....Lots of nice work I can see, here..... You might try spraying some clear over that paint that won't dry....Some dull cote, maybe....

Yeah, Man....Can't get enough of these.....All of them are excellent....Just some amazing work.....Amazing work, Man....

These are some pretty nice builds, Man....That Road Boss build is my kind of truck....I really like that sleeper you put on the back.....I hope your battle with cancer is truly over....I pray The Lord will keep you free and clear....The Petes and that Diamond Reo look pretty awesome, as well.....But if I had to pick a favorite, I'd say that Road Bull, hands down....Would love to see some more of your builds.....

Giant robot....Hmmm....Never would have thought of that.....Definitely could be a cool load....I wonder how heavy the real one is....

Just another place to put cargo, for the most part.....

That is awesome, Brent.....I built a model similar to that one a while back.....Hope to show it, this spring at contest.....I used a Freightliner for mine, though.....Built it similar to this one..... Most of the guys have seen the thread, but here it is, if you're interested.... http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=93773

Good stuff, Man.....Love the 1/16 scalers.....Both of them look awesome.....Paint schemes on both make them really stand out....

Looking good, Man....I like those decals.....Looks great over that black....

Outstanding build, Man.....I've seen a couple examples of similar Lonestar wrecker builds and this on ranks up there with the best of them.....Very well executed....The decals are beautiful and the bumper work really stands out.....Excellent job....

An absolute wonderful and imaginative model.....Loved watching this one come together and your efforts have truly paid off.....Excellent use of the Italeri road displays......I always thought they were a little on the expensive side, so I never bothered with them, but they look very good.....Very good.....That looks like a piece of roadway from up the street......Just a tremendous job all around.....Beautiful.....

Congratulations, again....Well deserved....I'd love to see some outside photos of this one.....Great job....

http://www.plastic-models.com is running free shipping, again on most big rig models......And use this code: O1A15 and get $15 off a $50 or more purchase...That covers most rigs....You can get a Lonestar or Prostar for about $45, TOTAL.....Shipping and all......And the Volvo VN 780 is in stock, as well....

Man, that's an ugly truck.....But with a name like Bruiser, what did you expect, right...?? Great job on this bad boy....Excellent weathering.....Looks like it just got a new set of mud flaps, this week.. ...Great job...

Don't sell yourself short, C.....You've got some good stuff going on over there.....I love this forum, as it really gives a guy some good ideas and challenges one to build better models....Gained a lot of valuable skills carousing all the posts of some very skillful builders..... As for the chassis stretch, I'm a BIG fan....That KW and Pete can be built up nicely.....Can't beat the price....Clayton's stretch is about the easiest way to do it....I don't think I could offer anything better, technique wise.....But I did build this with about a 1" stretch....And used the kit wheels and tires......

I know most of the Italeri European trailers come with triple axle supers.....They're not, exactly, the same profile as the ones seen around here, but they do look OK on certain rigs.....The fact that they fit on the 22.5 rims OR the trailer rims works to our advantage.....No modifications.....Just slap them on.....I used them on the front of this Western Star....

It looks Great, Dan.....Gonna wow 'em for sure, this April.....Awesome work....Awesome work.....With 9 Mopars on the back, no telling how long this model, Actually, took you to build.....From the first car to the truck, I'm sure you'd have to think back quite a while....
