Looks great....Nice work on this one....I thought I had commented on this one...

Oh, yeah....It turned out great....The spread is something you don't see every day on a 53'er around here......Looks real nice....Real nice....I'm gonna have to build another Lonestar, myself....For some reason, I don't have one displayed with a 53'.....Gonna have to change that.....Awesome work....Love that paint scheme.....

Nice work on this one....Looks good...I'd love to see slightly better focus, but I think I can see where the subtle weathering has been applied.....Good job...

Thanks guys for all the great comments and feedback, first of all.....Lol....Robert, the thought DID cross my mind....."I think I need a couple of mini tool boxes stuck in there..." And with that, I think I'm gonna get to work....Thanks for the "subtle" suggestion.....I'm on it.....

Almost done.....I'm just about done with the tractor, and I've started with the trailer.....I'm not sure I like how it turned out with the drom on the back, but I'm hoping it will all come together after the trailer is attached....

That is beautiful.....Very nice work on the engine bay.....Very nice....

Man, that's a good looking truck.....Very realistic, and the headache rack looks great.....Very nice.....

Saw them in there, just the other day.....I needed another Freightliner to complete my other one, but I'm, totally gonna snag a couple by the end of next week.....Praise God for Hobby Lobby.....I'm with you Mike on that one.....

Definitely, a great model to experiment with.....Awesome.....Great job on the frame....

Pretty awesome looking build....I like this one.....Love the 4 wheel steer.....

Nice looking collection you have, there....Very impressive builds....

Wow, Man...This is just amazing.....Excellent job on the engine details.....Great job on everything.....Wow....

She does look mighty fine....Like the paint scheme.....I'm gonna have to do another one of these.....

This thing looks great, Man.....Good job on this one....I have yet to build one of these, for some reason, but you inspire me......I like that blue paint, too....

Oh, yeah....She's a beauty....Coming along very nicely.....Like the way you did the back end of the tow body, too.....That looks great....

Shot from the can, Tom, it's Krylon's Premium Silver Foil Metallic....I used it for the wheels, too.......Comes in a tall skinny can, and I pick them up at Hobby Lobby for about $3.50 with a 40% off from the phone....They also have the wide spray nozzles they use on the Duplicolor type spray paints.......This stuff is AWESOME.....The only drawbacks are that you can NEVER touch it after you lay it down; and you can't clear coat it with anything.....I've tried almost everything that I can think of....Well not if don't want to have finger prints all over it, but shines like new money.....I like it because it's one step...You don't have to be an expert.....Just make sure there's no mold release agent on the plastic....It bubbles up if you don't .......But the greatest thing is that there is NO cleanup.....I don't think Alclad can beat the shine.....

This is one nice looking project.....Gonna really look good when you're done.....

Very, very nice piece of work....I built a dozer years ago, but I never thought of this.....I could build one of these and slap it on for a nice addition....Like Dave....I thank you for the inspiration....

Great job, Man....This looks great....I like the simplicity of it....Appearance wise....No frills....Just what is needed for the job....Excellent work....

That is good stuff, Man....I like that....I see a lot of similar looking things at Greenspoint Mall, here in Houston....Amazing how many carnivals come here, these days....This is an awesome rendition of one.....

Sounds like a great idea for a project....I'm thinking about doning one based on one of the 1/16 scalers, as well....Not a General, but something other than a Pete or KW...I'll, totally, be watching this one.....

Finally....A proper update.....I've been busier than usual these days, but I've finally been able to get some work done on this thing.....I messed around and lost the front wheel retainer pins, the rear axles AND the clear cab piece......Even after I told myself to put those back in the box or you're gonna lose them.....Well, I either didn't listen to myself, or I put them in such a safe place, even I can't find them..... Sucks getting old, guys.....Anyway it forced me to have to go to Hobby Lobby and get another one.....Now I have a donor kit to trade or something....We'll see.....Anyway, here goes.... I really wanted to display it with my people in the truck, but my driver guy is too tall for it....I'm gonna have to leave him out.....And I didn't detail the dash much.....I can't even see it on the last one I built, so....

Nice looking project.....The weathering looks pretty good.....Can't say I've ever seen this version modeled, before.....

I'm really thinking about getting one of these.....This is just too cool......Thanks for the information and advice....That engine looks right at home under the hood....It really looks good.....And that trailer is just Awesome....

Just has to be one of the best models of this type I've ever seen....Excellent work, Man.....Excellent work...
