gotnitro?

Update time and its a colorful one... The mesh arrived yesterday so I framed in the walkway w U strip and a popsicle width strips of screen. The radiator opening for the blower engine also received a patch of screen , ill frame it in w narrow 020 strip and meng bolts right before primer After the last mockup, the major parts were transferred to the paint side of the shop and received a light coat of tamiya red oxide fine primer . I chose this color to darken the final color into a goldenrod shade seen on the NYSDOT trucks . Jeff

Ahh one im thinking of is a heavy duty engine used in loaders and dozer made by cat

Very interesting builds and impressive fabrication

Isn't this done yet ??? Lol

Glad I didn't know a D348 existed..I'd been tempted to open the side doors on snowblower to show it off ..whew This will make a sharp truck w that old school styling

Good looking color frame will pop

Glad ya removed those wheel humps, looks much cleaner removed imo. Ditto on the Hurst too !

I like the reasoning behind this lol save those chains for a plow truck

Good looking panels ! Too bad you weren't able to find it wandering around virtually, that really gives a whole new level of research lol

Thanks alot ! Really excited to start paint

Thanks ! Now it really starts to look like a truck

Nicely done ! Serious amount of detail weathering to tie the scene together in harmony and you nailed it

Haha yeah those squirrels would drive me bonkers if I was to watch the film !!! The load almost looks like 4x4 lumber but its tough to tell w the quality of the film , we won't beat ya up if its not exactly correct lol

Looks good Tom ! Gonna be a fun build adding the log trailer

Fun project

Thats really cool, only seen video of these enormous trailers in use . Few yrs ago a company was transporting a turbine section from the GE plant . I watched one go thru on that convoy and still amazes me how controllable the system worked Carry on !
