Autocar A64B Car Transporter
gotnitro? replied to Mopar - D's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Looks good from here ! -
nice work ! I watched a show called " Pure vision " one afternoon, and the owner modified a Ford wagon . One of the subtle changes was the door pillar, its almost vertical, where all the others slant forward..that tweak changed the entire flow of the car.

this is gonna a be a fun build ! cool idea using the tracks and cab together, it really fits well Some utilities company is laying groundwork for upgrades nearby.There's similar tracked vehicles driving around the woods on wood platforms. -

wow, building a 7 car hauler ! I cant wait to see this come together. -
thanks Dan ! I'm getting much closer to weathering the truck, probably seal w hairspray before the cement goes on just in case it goes South. I really want the chutes to have that worn away paint leaving a bare metal slough down the center. I'm away from the bench a few days, we sold off the saltwater tank..it was costing a small fortune to keep . I started having lousy coral growth and losses , and instead of investing in much more expensive lighting..I'm walking away. Works been really slowing down since I'm employed by an automotive supplier chain..literally timing chain and VCT systems.

Update ! I added the iconic mascot and scratched up the 361 hood placard . I'd love to find some tiny numbers to fill in the 361 plate..gotta be some molded to sprus in the parts boxes The eyeballs got worked last night fabbing up the windshield wipers . The main arm is 040 rod, w 10x20 strip . The actual wiper blade is also 10x20 glued on edge..kit parts are horribly thick. Now the wipers ..their just pinned in place right now to check the shape then ill brush some dull metal / black over parts . The rubber seal around glass was ignored too..oops The extra chute rack needed cleats , strips of scrap brass looked to scale. Mocked up w chutes in place . Lastly the Barney mixer would be amiss without its iconic log chains under the truck . Strips of 040 made the brackets , and chain from craft store i picked up doing the snow tire chains looked the best in scale . Ill dust these w rusty paint later Till the next time ..thanks for following Jeff

359 ext hood wip
gotnitro? replied to Fantom's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Really nice looking build so far ! The Cat looks ready to fire up The archer rivets will show up under gloss paint, KJ has used them numerous times on his killer KW builds and they look perfectly to scale after paint -
I had a few hrs to putter with the mixer , I ended up installing the cab, main mixer unit and odd details while larger sections dried. I found a package of deck plates from moluminum id ordered that I'd forgotten about, and decided the walking areas needed some boot scrapers. The fuel tank, battery box and the side air tank rack had small pieces attached. I'm really close to final assembly now that its looking more like a mixer. Once everything is installed..the fun part begins..this won't be a clean truck .
