Excellent is every way. Love the wheels and tires. The engine choice is perfect and the weathering is spot-on. Wonderful build.

Bravo! Unique and a high quality build.

Exactly. When they are branded, the lettering is often raised out of scale, and/or raised when it should be recessed.

Much improvement with the latest bumper.

Coming along nicely. I love the color. Glad the printer line issue is solved.

Lights…Camera…Action! Seriously, this one is so cool! Unique and impressive. I don’t think I’ve seen one modeled before. What a good use of A&N’s kit.

Thanks so much, guys. So many very talented builders on here like yourselves, means a lot from you.

Absolutely fantastic progress, even if it takes more time than expected. The results are obviously worth it. And I agree, sometimes you don’t notice issues until you post the photos here on the forum, and look at them later. That’s often been the case for me. Another reason why the forum is helpful.

She’s a beauty!

I understand that exact feeling.

Block looks good, but the pics I’ve seen for lonestars have the oil pan flipped around with a rear sump for front axle clearance, being an axle-forward truck. ST’s instructions, along with a lot of other pictures online, probably show the engine oil pan set up for a set back axle truck, which is the case with the majority of trucks on the road today, but not the Lonestars and other long-nose trucks. I wish I would have thought about it ahead of time, but only remembered when you mentioned the clearance and using the kit oil pan. It’ll probably still fit, though. The kit instructions has the Maxxforce set up that way, which is incorrect, but it fits.

Excellent, I really like this build! I may have to take a look through that mag (for the articles).

Excellent start on a unique scratch building project.

Looks great, love the fenders. What chrome will you use?

I was thinking the same thing…”Man, his workbench is so clean”. Mine looks like arts and crafts time at a day care center.
