Thanks Ken

Thanks Sam. He has a great eye.

My packaging designer at work suggested the frame be painted this color. I kinda like it. Very mid 1970’s

Interesting project. Curious to see it when done.

Kerry I'll be watching. They could create a dented up Mack RModel, but never put either the Garbage Truck, or the WT9000 into production? Curious decisions back then.

WOW that's very good.

I guess dreams do come true.

Very nice job. Definitely big rig material. when I was a tyke back in the 1960's I had a similar unit made by a toy company called Marx. Mine had a white cab.

Nice job

Quite nicely done, as well as the Atkinson, and I'm guessing Kenworth?

Scalemates shows this as the first issue in 1971 Therefore I surmise yours is an original.

Nice Bill what year is that issue from?

Wow that is GREAT NEWS. I would want 2.

I'll get at least one to make as a project that's been rolling around in my skull for a while. I'd like to do it as a mid 1970's Exxon unit. I grew up in Long Island NY so I believe that they may have had LNT8000's at one point. I know they ran White 4000's. Originally thought about doing it as a Texaco unit similar the the large Matchbox tanker unit my friend had. But there have been some Texaco examples out there before. Wanna be different. Secretly hoping that they will find a way to do a hinged hood.

Mike thanks. It's one of my favorite trucks so would be looking forward to this reissue.

Good morning all hope everyone is well.I have heard that Round 2 is bringing back the Ford Louisville Dumptruck reissue. Any truth to this? If so they should sell a lot of them. It's one I never had the opportunity to have back in the 1970's so fleet LNT8000 tractor here I come.

Thank you.

KJ love this truck and where you're going with it. As always you have an eye for detail and it definitely shows. Looking forward to the finished build.

Did some frame work last night including mocking up how the Cummins NTC370 will look. A few more pieces and then I prime and paint the frame.

DJ thanks very much. It's Testors One Coat Bronze Lacquer. Got it online maybe at Hobbylinc.

Frame work tonight. Mock-up with the NTC 370.

WOW that's really cool. Not surprised given the strengths of your subjects and builds. Like the fleet truck look.

WOW those are very nice. They are so cool. Very well done. Would love to see the 4070B Transtar II come out out again. And yes I can dream can't I?

For mine unfortunately yes. Missing some parts. And need to figure out key things like HINGES.

I really like that. Looks very nice. Here is mine which has sat for like 2+ years. The frame color is similar to one that Tim Ahlborn had posted that was (maybe?) at the Newark, California plant. Eventually I may finish it. Or maybe not. You never know with me.
