  1. Definitely like the weathered look brings out the details without crud being on
  2. Heres the 3406 E variant Gary sells Its slated for the IH 9300 I'm planning to replicate my step dads truck , w scratchbuilt Mac dump trailer
  3. Hooray !! Pinned Brian, Gary W also has the Yellow 3406 C& E variants available , I just picked up his E model for an upcoming build Thanks everyone for taking the time to complete all these lists
  4. Stunning work
  5. Wow it's looking very good ! Nice decision to make several corrected parts
  6. Wow sharp panel truck Love the colors
  7. Good to see this useful list back on top..might be more appropriate pinned..
  8. Now that's a truck I'd drive ..screw these cookie cutter euro SUV types clogging up the highway
  9. Very nice ! I borrowed one from the Revell 2015 Mustang gt.. That engine and her eco boost sibling are close to home ..the timing assembly gets built in Lansing NY..
  10. Wow that's turning out fantastic ! Adding the buzzin dozen will certainly set this mack apart Where did you add the frame sections from the super boss I see a graft behind the cab
  11. Thanks DJ ! Yeah I learned I'm the king of the house when shes not there lol I couldn't be happier though shes a wonderful person. Doesn't complain about paint fumes..shes a keeper
  12. Awesome work great theme ya have going on
  13. Ronnie - I already got evicted to an upstairs bedroom after daughter was born, but beats the damp basement lol I'll just have to get creative rearranging furniture, I know better than leave a model on the wifes China cabinet
  14. Been watching hth and 410 every week pretty decent show Really figured Jamie would lose his cool after the new guy tore up the gearbox on Mghty moe clearly trying to recover truck way out of that wreckers league..but gotta learn the hard way Glad they still include the heavy rotators cant get enough seeing them pick wrecks up and move them around like toys..
  15. Very nice has a great heavy duty look Glad I got ya back into working on it Really like the spare tire carrier , something mines gonna have inspired by the US Army 6x6 Buffalo..
  16. Ronnie Burns - thanks for answering the question about the builder of the oil field truck, it took me awhile to realize it was a model it's very convincing! Thanks for following along Its gonna be a very long truck for sure ! I'm sure after all the major parts are added I'll need more shelf space lol
  17. Oh the excavator riding? Haha probably just a water tank now ..but that would've been sick Heres kinda the direction I'm going..subject to change
  18. Thanks Kerry ! I m taking a page from your build manual lol
  19. Thanks Sam ! It's really well built , not the gopher snot glue normally seen on older builds ! Taking a queue from dr Kerry and just building something wild using numerous photos for ideas..one shows a water tank being winched off bed I'm definitely interested in Hey Brian ! Yeah I ordered right from Harold, fortunately he still had them. Their listed as discontinued when sold out... The whole package arrived a week after ordering , very pleased . Course now those tires aren't being used on this build..lol
  20. I REALLY wanted to use KFS' Terra swamp tires, but after mocking up, I didnt have an acceptable amount of clearance under the hardbar beam..drats ! The photo has the axle incorrectly mounted under the beam.. so I stubbornly decided to check a taller option..and it worked ! Something else I stumbled on was how close the trunnion would be without adding a spacer..looked like a top fuel dragster from behind..lol I used a 1/4 inch spacer , finally deciding on 1/8 gave a good width. Last up the frame gets stripped and add fishplates to stiffen everything up...sanding off the rails before adding 040 strips yes..the frames staying that long..adding a decent size twin winch tower , and scale 24 ft bed works out !
