OH, this turned out beyond cool! You perfectly captured the 'used but not abused' look. Very slick build!

Exactly right Hermann. Outstanding color choice, and very well executed assembly techniques.

I truly appreciate the feedback from all of you. It is great to hear from so many builders with skills of your level. Thank you all.

Thank you all very much for the kind words. I am very appreciative for the feedback. When you look at them for so long, all you seem to see is the defects. Good to take a step back and get some feedback. Given the quality of builds from you all, your comments carry great weight.

This model just shouts '60s workhorse! Love the result, very nice build.

Ken, we all expect your always your way above par building skills, but your color pallet always amazes.

What he said...Very well done.

Awesome conversion. Another outstanding build.

Ditto that. Really ups the 'Company truck' look and feel. Well done Ken.

What a great fleet. They look terrific! Well done, Geoffrey. Very realistic weathering. Excellent choices on the subjects, way outside the norm.

Lots of character to this good build. Very well done.

Excellent conversion, JT. Looks really good with the interesting load.

Hey Guys, a few more pics to torture you guys with. In the January 1975 Overdrive Magazine, there was an article about the new Mack Cruise-liner. In the article, it stated that Mack had plans for a bigger day cab, as well as a big sleeper version, had there been enough customer interest. So, I had to make the big sleeper, although nonexistent, 110" Cruise-liner. I found online pics of a non E9 V8, painted gold, called the ETB 1005. No after-cooler like the E9. scratch built grille, Aluminum wheels, photo etch exhaust shields, and dual intakes, as well as a little wheel base round out this Bulldog 'What If'...

Hey Guys, Thought i would throw a few more pics up of a couple of recent builds. Well recent for my speed. Almost box stock, Revell snap boxes, exhaust, Modeltruckin' decals, and 22" 'shaker wheels.

Glad indeed. Hope the Styrene Therapy speeds your recovery.

That is really sharp, well done.

Very true! have a terrific 'big fleet' look.

A big Thank You to all who have viewed and responded to this post. I appreciate the feedback. Jerry, the Moebius wheels are a little small for the axle pins on the Revell axles. The conical lock for the snap together assembly method is just on the far side of forcing it together. Now I did mine the hard way, I wrapped the pins with some 180 grit auto body sand paper. and worked it back an forth until the wheels slid on. At first, I just snipped off the lock, but that makes the disappear under the fenders way to far. The total you need to remove is, probably, .020, give or take a bit. Not much, but enough to complicate things if you don't. Hope this helps. Mark.

Now this is cool. Love the race transporters. Got an Indy car hauler I need to finish the race care for. Very slick.

Man, I LOVE scratch built stuff that turns out like this. Mega props to you.

Really liking this build, the work really paid off.

Awesome old work horse put out to pasture. You see every mile on this old gal. Well done.

Martin Penwald would be proud of the is replica of his "beautiful black truck". Quack, quack.

Thank you Gentlemen, I appreciate all the kind words. DJ, you are so right, maintaining a perfect arc, with wedges of decal film, is an experience. Jurgen, that occurred to me as well. After seeing a couple of Peterbilt factory photos of all white, frame and all, and thought 'why not'.

Outstanding, as always, KJ.
