Dents add character ! Loggers aren't usually pretty show trucks as Warren said . Looking forward to your updates

Built up a set of tire chains today, once one pattern was figured out they went pretty fast. I used oval shaped jewelry chain for the long sides w round craft chain for the cross bars like photos I found . Pinned 6 inch long chains to Styrofoam to keep even then cut 12 bars at 12 links each . I used small copper craft wire to tie them together. Make piles of cross bars then wire together repeat...repeat..etc Wrapped a tire to check fit and snapped a few pics ...I originally wasn't sure on chains , but after mocking up on chassis I was sold . And the money shot.. They're in primer now , can't wait to hang them for good !

Thanks , this is getting weathered a bit so hopefully those spots will blend in. I'm gonna try to touch up those dots Those stripes really worked out along with the black hood..breaks up the yellow ! Now to do something with interior and add glass

Holy smokes ...that cab looks like a poor recast from an original master . Warren's right though, its always easier to remove material then add . You'll have this whipped into shape though

Fish eyes... I washed the cab, primer laid down clean then color coat had a mysterious brain fart other side has a few spots too

I had no idea of the detail in these HO trucks wow very cool Thats a slick looking Holmes wrecker

Update time !!! Sprayed a few detail colors on the truck once paint has plenty of drying time . The anti glare hood , and chute was airbrushed w flat black, then the blue DOT stripes sprayed across the blower engine compartment. The bank cutters also got a squirt of red primer. Looking at the chute photos I gotta add more black along the sides.. Enjoy!

good looking deck ! That plastruct deck is so nice to work with, and looks very good under paint

Ready to watch another fantastic build develop! Seeing your abilities to fabricate parts on your lowboy trailer, this will be another killer build The one big piece of construction equipment that was available aka Michigan loader was a huge model. Your right though , stuff like this would be incredible to have available, but very costly .

Lookin good !!!

The bed frame looks good ! Really like the tear drop shaped wheel openings

You'll definitely hear that genny running !!

Brian that looks ? really well done mixing the dusty frame w glossy exterior that owner takes pride in his fleet ! There's a local paving company fleet i see coming home from work, their trucks haul the nastiest oily blacktop, yet the trucks always look brand new .

Man thats a gorgeous Ford ! The colors work perfectly together.

Your rocking this one ! Glad I could suggest a color option for interior that looks fantastic! Looks like Diesel has a nice cozy place to nap too Wow the decals look excellent also well done

Sure can ! Deadline for completion is June 30th right now , and feel free to start a new post with your project. Glad your feeling better and welcome back

Well done !!! I keep hearing the theme song playing while reading this post..just don't spill the Cat Pow in the car lol

Sweet dash

Ben looking forward to your build its a fun build and makes a good looking model when complete ! Yeah the mirror mounts are pretty sad though glad to hear your remaking them

Good looking truck ! Really like the new 3d printed mounts

Awesome work ! Great choice using a Mopar color too sublime is one of my favorites. My buddy has a sublime challenger ..wicked

Good looking frame chop! Funny how a few years ago a chop like that would be taboo, now ots everyday common to achieve a correct look

Haahahaa its always how that goes right..no insider tips either to plan ahead just WHAM..I actually didn't burn through much this time..stocking up on 11 blades was key

Lol I washed all the resin parts for mine , then the furry critters got me sidetracked painting a 59 impala..ridiculous squirrels Yes !!!!

Thanks I forgot about micro mark they always have nice supplies . Thanks now the wknds almost here I'll have some time to putter w it . I've been making another one for a plow chaser in Cali. started the second set of augers ..much easier this time around . He mentioned casting the parts to go with his plows / sanders
