Nice build right there !!! These trucks are so nice to look at One thing I've done before that helps the look , take a thin strip of plastic and attach it under the cab door like a filler panel. It hides the see through effect .

Thanks ! It's starting to be difficult to work around now all the bracing is going on before paint .. The rear springs have a radius rod type bar id assume is to keep axle centered . I got them from Dave Natale specific for this build . The trucks typically had a Cat bulldozer engine to power the blower unit , D 348 possibly. Theres a large rear mounted radiator also. Thanks , its definitely starting to look like a snowblower now instead of a huge pile of random parts.. Tonite I had a few spare minutes so I cleaned up the augers . Our 4 yr old said " it doesn't have teeth like Bumble ..did Hermie take his teeth out too ? She watches Rudolf too much . Well now it has the teeth ! I may add some meng bolts later

Yeah painting was my challenge during winter till buying a vented booth now I can spray year round

Good looking old Ford ! I've seen these for sale frequently, never sure enough about quality and the material used to click the buy now button Guess I'll live vicariously thru you ! The chassis plans sound good , as is the engine choice

Looks like the shops been busy shooting Cummins beige. Looks good wired up, this mean your planning to butterfly the hood

Love how subtle the changes are yet so dramatic

Well done even with all the challenges !

Pete68 - sure can

The plastics flying now ! Fun taking spare parts and repurposing them into something completely different

Thats gonna be a monster! Love the plan drawing , I was helped by Gary Wallace years ago w a scaled down drawing of the fdm mixer I was building . Sure made it easier making parts fit and look right Ps..the phrase was also coined by Walt Disney when designing Walt Disney world bit of useless history

Really nice combo , colors work very well together Good choice adding a dump trailer, really sells this as a work truck

Oh...well it'll be an interesting project anyway..just kidding that was a WHAT ??? moment

Welcome aboard Scott ! The Papa Truck is a great subject for a build looking forward to your progress

Jim B - nah you've got this ! Best part of model building is making something unique and learning skills rarely used imo Losing the air bag suspension was a good option

Mine just came out of soapy bath and mild scub w comet . Gets the resin nice for primer before construction begins !

Gorgeous concept Kerry Love the paint

Gotta love when plans come together ! Thats a technique I really should employ , much better working from plans instead of crude quesstimation

Nice start w a clean slate !

Looking forward to your build, glad we could help knock the rust off too !

Great choice in wheels , cant go wrong w spokes ! You mentioned your planning to have this Mack pulling a moving trailer too..very cool

Looks perfect!
