  1. Nice kit , definitely fun and easy to assemble.
  2. Weird the board wont allow me to edit the original post now , so I'll place the new builders and projects here DRIPTROIT71 - KW K123 w 40' Great Dane box Jacobus - KW T930 Aussie Landman - IH K8 Thank everyone for participating
  3. Thanks for joining us Jacobus ! Really like the Aussie trucks
  4. Awesome, thanks for joining us Brian w the K123
  5. I'd go a different route..and extend the front. Most of these older car haulers used removable ramps to start the car onto the bed like a U Haul truck, that was stowed. Placing a build on the bed will show how much more length you'd need. Of course , that causes the truck frame to likely be short, but that's easily fixed. I dislike messing with angles and wheel spacing . Just an idea...I have the entire ramp bed from the papa truck if your be interested
  6. Bills72sj - thanks for joining ! As long as that's as far as you've started I'll allow it . Most of the rebuilders are likely modified to that point , converting the bunks into day cabs
  7. Awesome, cant wait to see your mini bulldog . I'll add your name thanks for entering
  8. Trailers are certainly eligible, as long as they fall into the rules. The whole point of the BRBO is having fun, and having a variety keeps it interesting ! Just let me know what ya definitely plan to build , and I'll update the list
  9. Highway - sorry to hear about your rotator surgeries, my step father had his rebuilt after trying to stop a rollaway trailer tire . His never healed properly either, and had very limited movement in it. Far as your build goes , the trailer exceeds the " new / rebuilder " rule , so that's not eligible. The tractor as you stated would be a complete new kit , and that would certainly qualify. I struggled with just allowing any build at any stage prior to starting the event. Finally decided to limit the starting points to those listed. Hope to see ya participate !
  10. Your welcome ! Lee - Thanks for joining in , I've added your name and build . These 1/32 offerings are gaining popularity
  11. Thanks to the moderators for pinning this topic! Casey 429 no problem I'll add you to the list , thanks for joining.
  12. I updated the first post to add the entrants and builds . I'll continue to update as the builds are chosen Have a Merry Christmas everyone
  13. Warren D - thanks for joining up I added ya to the list . That 761 was part of Syracuse's fleet, unsure when the photo was taken. I figured it was a nysdot truck, but guess they didnt run 5 hole budds on their trucks according to an enthusiast. Sam - I m trying to stay on task, but struggle with willpower when something interesting comes along lol
  14. Sam - yup I'm gonna cheer along as the builds progress. I thought about working on the kw, but my track record of getting sidetracked is well known lol and I really want to wrap up the Oshkosh plow. I did stumble across this photo , and it nearly derailed me..
  15. No worries , we'll all be following along cheering for ya !! Merry Christmas
  16. Welcome aboard ! Last yr we just added BRBO to the title, then everyone knew it was for the event. I'll post the entry list tomo and will update as other builders join in !
  17. Awesome welcome aboard ! Thanks for entering ! Time to get that KW on the display shelf Glad to have ya join Sam ! I'm sitting on the bench for this one..cheering everyone on ! Lol I'll have to finish the big KW another day Sure you'll find something to rebuild
  18. Lol I tweaked the rules too cause I forgot to include equipment ! Looking forward to your updates , those manuals are invaluable for this kind of work
  19. Absolutely welcome Kerry ! Glad to have ya on board
  20. Awesome work, I see a ton of tires in your future
  21. Welcome aboard Tom ! I'm sure you'll find something cool in your stash to build...maybe something resin Welcome aboard cant wait to see what you find to build ! I used to have an N scale train set, always wanted to build a small table top layout.
  22. Stunning work already Tom ! Too bad you didnt stand by w a shovel for a few short day and enter this in the BRBO 2020 !! I'll be following along either way
  23. Wish I could post the set he just made for autism awareness to be donated off. The rims has small colored puzzle pieces cut into the rim , absolutely gorgeous work.
  24. Always speechless watching your builds come together. Turning simple items into complex shapes amazes me , and the photos show the details off Just looking at building a euro style truck similar to those used at the Bulmer Cider plant in England. Guess their a very distant relative to me , after the grandparents immigrated to the US .
