This is, truly, an exiting build.....The trailer connection is wonderful and I was thinking you might want to rethink the spare tire placement, and you did.....Great job throughout....Everything is coming out beautifully.....

Awesome work, so far, Man....It's gonna look good, Mike and take up less shelf space, to boot.....

Why certainly, my friend....First of all....Welcome to the forum and the world of truck modeling.....I'm sure someone will chime in with some tips on engine wiring, but that's not my expertise....I'm sure Clayton or a few others could help you with the both of these things......I can help you with simple frame extension, though.....It can be accomplished several ways, but I generally use what's on hand and within the budget.....Here's what I've done with the frame from an AMT T-600 Kenworth......Just a few pieces of scrap plastic and a lot of sanding......

Beautiful....Just beautiful....

It actually looks pretty cool.....Now, as for "why", I couldn't tell you, but should he decide to sell it, I'm sure it would fetch a pretty penny....More than enough justification.......I'll bet Jay Leno would be interested.....

Nice work....Interesting hood ornament and I like the flames.....

This looking good.....Thank you for posting it as you go along.....Anything on or about $120 sounds quite reasonable.....I wouldn't mind having one, myself....

I just realized this was posted 4 years ago.....Still....What a build......

Sorry, Bud, but the picture of the batteries isn't coming up.....I have a few laying around, here and there.....I don't typically use them, as they just end up being covered by a never opening box, so I have some....But need to see the pic to be sure I have what you need....

Man, they don't be messin' around in Cali.....Nice....

Yaayy!!!! Here's the list I was looking for all along.....Thank you, Casey, for adding this here, and thank you Clayton for suggesting it.... Now....I have some GOOD guys to list, as well....

Matthew T. Brad Parker * bobcat ranma And let's not forget Gator.....I should have added you way back, Buddy..... A big oversight on my part..... I hope I haven't left anyone out.....If so, let me know, and I will gladly add you......I've traded with so many people, here, it's easy to forget..... *Took a bit, but trade was completed.....

Tiny is right.....Looks pretty cool.....I'd love to get into model railroading.....Need more room, though....

She's a beauty.....Very nice color choice....I've got to get a couple more of these.....This is a good looking model....

Can't put into words how well done this one is.....But I gotta say something, I guess......And I suppose that would be that it is Absolutely, Masterful.....

Now, that's a good buddy to have.....You know you owe him one, right??? lol.... And that's a great score, as well....Can't get enough of those Aerodynes.....And I can't wait to get onto that Volvo I got, too.....

Looks real nice, Man.....Can't go wrong with that green.....

Man, she is a beauty.....The pics seem to have come out all right.....Gorgeous.....I may have to repurpose an old Italeri 48'er for this one.....Gotta build something similar....In orange, of course.....

Those rigs are all awesome.....I especially like that Transtar......Gives me one heck of an idea for another build.....

Yes, Sir.....This looks great.....Excellent work on the whole setup.....This can only get better as the days go by.....Beautiful job.....

Thanks, Guys....I appreciate all the comments and ideas..... As a side note....I only use kitty litter because it's WAAAYY cheaper than model railroad ballast.....I'm broke these days, Man...... It was either that or dirt from the flower bed.....

Yeah, Man....I like trains, too.....I would, totally, start a HO scale train setup, if I could only find the room......Very nice pics.....

Looking good, Man.....Very nice job on the sleeper....

Yeah, Buddy....You're looking good.....Everything looks great......This model has a few perks, as a model, but it also has a few problems with the wheels and tires.....I'm sure the instructions don't make it very clear, but as Angelo pointed out, you need to drape the tires over the rim.....They may not fit well, but that's how the go.....Just check the photo on the box, and you'll see what we're on about.....Very nice mode, overall......You've done a great job for your first build.....Keep in mind that we all here want you to build the best model you can build by offering tips and information for the asking......And maybe some unsolicited ideas, as well......Welcome to the hobby, Man.....Welcome....We're all here to help......

Looking pretty good, Man....Great start.....

She came out a might nice.....Just beautiful.....Excellent job.....The whole thing just hits you in the face with awesomeness.....
