  1. Nailing this build ! That steel hood mack looks perfect hauling the slump on its back Hth on the KW nubs too..wasnt sure what they were for
  2. Really sharp truck ! Is that nub on front fenders supposed to be a reflector ?
  3. Great work so far Air starter..first time I've heard of those, but seems their very popular. Watched a video of an enormous Mack with an air start..wow. learn something new every day lol
  4. Nice setup ! The log trailer is much improved over the peerless Suggestion for the wide wheels, could you use the wheel backs from a paystar instead of the auslow inner ones for more space ?
  5. Learned to drive in a 78 Olds cutlass supreme, took my road test driving moms 86 Buick Skylark cause I couldn't parallel park that enormous car lol
  6. Great looking start ! Theres so many of the expedite trucks coming and going from my workplace, this really fits Like the blending of the aero KW w the trailer.
  7. Looking forward to your build rugged looking truck
  8. Thanks , they take awhile to figure out bit definitely worth the effort when finished. Thanks ..soon I get to dirty it all up Lol with any luck they'll be digging out for awhile!
  9. Outstanding work! I can't imagine busting out 2 full builds at once ..I'm having a hard enough time doing one lol Keep up the progress
  10. Thanks Jim feels good to be working on larger parts awhile lol Thanks Brian this run took awhile getting the spacing right. My first try were too far apart, the next short mockup of 6 bars were too close ..finally they landed on baby bear
  11. Thanks ! Seemed bare without them
  12. Whew I really slacked off on this build ! Guess the squirrels are contagious this year lol I hated the telephone pole mirror mounts, so I replaced them w 030 rod. I'll polish some thumb tacks for spotter mirrors too. Another detail I was sorting out was the cold weather air cleaner plumbing. They have a flex pipe coming off engine going to air cleaner..I found some 12g wire perfect for the purpose. Ill wrap it w tamiya tape later. The squirrels must've messed w my clock, cause the next detail burned a few hrs. I planned to add tire chains early on, and finally got around to them. These still need some adjustments, but look good. Now to feed the furry rats and make the rest
  13. Fantastic work the parts look very smooth too
  14. Glad you chose the unique headlights version
  15. looking forward to your build. Twin steer trucks are so interesting
  16. Did ya add 4 inches to the doors and roof ? Saw Kindig update a Pantera a few episodes ago
  17. Your WINCH looks perfect nestled in the cage..sorry I'm typing this on the line lol Looks like you have space along the side for some chain hangers / binders too !
  18. Spraying hot paints over the rivets ? Hmm unsure, I used tamiya fine white or gray over mine then their same paint . You'll definitely want something of a topcoat thats not terribly thick to avoid covering them up..hence your lacquer plans
  19. That looks fantastic ! Sure does show the enormous size of the dozer lol
