This will be a fantastic dio. You’ve already got a great start with the brick walls and great weathering. Will you have remnants of the abandoned rail siding? A segment of mostly buried rail, overgrown weeds. That would be neat.

What a great build. I will be sure to enjoy watching it come together.

Can’t wait!

She’s a beauty!

Definitely looking good so far. I’m going to have to give that Revell chrome spray a try.

Nice! I like the extra side windows.

One of my favorite cabovers. You’ve done an excellent job. I love the paint. What a beauty!

A unique build and a great combo. They compliment each other nicely.

I’ve been really enjoying watching this come together!

X2! Offering an alternative (correctly designed) 71 series cab option with the wider cab, grille, etc. in itself it would be an improvement over the Series 61 cab we have now - with the headlights at the incorrect height (How did AMT screw that one up??) and the multi-piece cab. Could do the later model grille and square headlights, too.

For my truck builds, I often use aftermarket wheels and tires so having them roll is really not an option. Even an out of the box build is often better when I ensure it doesn’t roll because of common fit issues. I also like the added “shelf-security” and “anti-child-theft” features of non-rolling wheels. ? A while back, I remember being bummed that wheels wouldn’t roll. And then I realized the benefits. It’s funny how we like the wheels to roll, but don’t complain that the wheels don’t steer, doors don’t open, etc. It’s similar to how I wonder why people will throw a fit about the tires not being rubber, yet all of the other materials of the model are plastic instead of real metal, glass, leather, etc. Resin and 3d printed tires can be finished just as realistic or even more so. They’re strong and they don’t rot. It’s not like we put air in them. Who cares what type of material it is as long as it provides for the most realistic finish and practicality for models?

This makes sense. I was wondering why they had such basic-looking box art in that era.

Excellent paint scheme, what a wonderful model.

Excellent progress!

Beautiful truck. Gorgeous black finish. I’ve seen this 3d kit, but this is the first I’ve seen completed. Excellent build

Odd they didn’t put the decals on the box art model.

What’s not to love about a Marmon? They’ve got a unique style all their own. Really cool to see as a build.

Something you rarely see as a model, yet so common in real life. Awesome.

Excellent. I like the old school original look of it.

Here’s another K100c to K100e change. It looks like the slightly raised center section of the roof above the cab on the C models was eliminated for the E models. It may still be there, but it’s, at least, greatly reduced. I think this holds true for both the Aerodyne and the Flat Top models. It’s the area right below the center three clearance lights. It’s hard to find good reference photos, but here’s what I’ve got so far. I’d still like to find a high-angle shot of the E model roof. Why are we always taking photos of tall trucks from the ground! ?

Certainly looks better with the white western star fenders. Closer to a Marmon.

Excellent choices for the project. This will be a good one to watch.

I agree, as I’d like to do a K100E conversion someday. These parts would go a long way to making that happen. Besides, I think there was one or two overlap years where the C model could be had with square headlights.

Excellent! As a railfan, as well as a truck fan, this is a great idea for a build! When you’re adding some more photos, show off that E7, if you can. Great build.

Wow, a Powerliner crew-cab rotator. Excellent. I’ve always thought cabovers look good as wreckers. This one will look really good.
