  1. Tough looking truck, very nice work
  2. Very nice combination, colors compliment each other
  3. glad to see your back at the bench, hopefully you didnt get effected to badly from the storm Ive been chatting with fellow reefers in Texas were they struggled keeping their tanks running and inhabitants alive..mostly to no avail. Never would expect that kind of weather to strike the southern states
  4. wow Ron you've been busy ! bouncing from one project to another would keep the juice's flowing . really nice fab
  5. thanks Charles ! we've been getting a steady snow here too. good for the snowmobilers , but getting tired of daily cleanups lol I was hoping to today, it was a really sunny day. if temps stay the same I'll take a few outside. Today was paint touch up s and add the hood latches I forgot in the box
  6. Beautiful engine I have the same kit cant wait to start it
  7. Awesome details ! Looking over the parts, your project is definitely challenging to make them clean and correct. In the end itll be a diamond though Keep up the fantastic scratchbuilding
  8. Thats the struggle w building something very special, if your just not feeling right about it , better to swap and start over later ! Theres builds ive done that really annoyed me , and I didn't want to finish..eventually ill get back to em Thats where my squirrels come to the rescue..one inspiration photo and I'm headed off the freeway
  9. Masterfully done love the hinge details
  10. Lol think its been sitting since last season , probably a little blow by
  11. Nice work Pat , always fun making springs
  12. Puttered w RM today while daughter slept in, added most of the smaller details id left off . The exhaust pipes drying and its basically just waiting on decals and dullcoat. I made up some D rings on the front frame , plow lights on the back from spare parts and fabbed up the lift chains ... I was so excited I decided to fire up the blower engine that it spit oil all over the top cover lol . I might add some plow lights and mounts from the grill, seems like there should be more lighting for those late night clean outs
  13. Fantastic work w the drop deck suspension !
  14. Wow much more realistic than the ones I was gonna suggest from Archer Well done
  15. The NYSDOT uses a similar unit for clearing the highways, its exactly that a trailer snowplow or sander they operate from the truck . The ones I've seen here in upstate NY were usually Mack Granites or IH Workstars . Nope haven't forgot them, just waiting so they don't get broken off lol. Thanks Thanks ! I'll check the bottle after work , can't recall who makes the flat I bought.
  16. The cab finally found its way onto the chassis, now the part I like almost as much as fabrication...detailing . I kinda screwed up attaching the blower , now I can't plumb the lines without breaking stuff off..maybe next time on an Oshkosh ! This is curbside , so I'll cheat a stack onto cab. Installing the cab really made me want to wrap this up.. I found some acrylic dullcoat at lhs, shooting testors hot lacquer dullcoat over this would be catastrophic. Thanks for everyone's feedback, I appreciate the comments
