Jacobus - tough call my friend they all look good

Few more days and we can get building!!!

Tossed a few braces and Meng bolts on for detailing. After looking at bare plastic for weeks this felt really good! One major part i wanted to knock out was the drive motor / cylinder that rotates the drum . A few pieces of rod, and square tube made up the assembly. The gear was found lurking in a spares bin Back to work tomo to pay for my snow tires... Thanks for following

Good work ! Always liked these platforms

Good choice !

Really starting to look ready for duty !!

Big mock up day ! Assembled the chute tower mount and had to see how it looked together I almost had a panic attack when it dawned on me the impeller drum wasn't gonna fit..but it dropped right in..whew !!! now for the chute drive motor and bank cutter parts ..the end is closer !!!

plenty of widgets..half the fun of building from photos is trying to figure out how parts get fabricated !! Theres a bunch of fun parts coming soon..just tackling the chutes now. Thanks ! Thanks ! theres still a ton of parts to make yet ..but its how ya eat an elephant one bite at a time ! Thanks ! funny how those kept me awake, then it clicked ..I think the major assemblies are close, now to add life t each making a small model from all of them. looking at certain parts now look boringly simplied, but once the bolts, widgets, and thing a ma jigs go on..it should pop

Jacobus- I can definitely feel your dilemma , all those options !!! I d go down the F700 rabbit hole..but thats just me ! awesome ! welcome aboard !!!

Merry Christmas to you also ! Thanks for joining us for 2020, too bad you struggled with your build . We've all had that one project that fights us every step.

Great save !

Awesome work fabbing up the parts , especially the lattice booms

this is so well detailed if it was photgraphed outside it would pass for the real truck ! well done

Gorgeous

Nice build plan Marc ! Glad to have ya join us

My fingers hurt just counting all those rivets !! Exceptional work detailing the frame rails , and cool trick w the compass face ..now the operator will always know which direction their facing lol

This will be fun to watch develop ! Your aware Jamie from moluminum casts this unit now after KFS sold it . You'd just need a suitable wrecker bed for the hoist

Awesome good to have ya along again Tom ! I'm certain you'll find something to build from the stash

Gorgeous work , you certainly captured the truck perfectly!!! Another fantastic Brockway for your collection

I also wanted to update everyone participating in the 2021 BRBO that Gary Wallace of gwtrucks is sponsoring our event with a 25.00 shop credit to the peoples choice winner ! A special thanks to Gary for his gracious contribution to our event!

Watching all these fantastic builds getting posted , and the excitement of the 2021 brbo start date getting close , I figured I d post my project too. I'm planning a tribute build to the retired fleet of Brockway 361s of Barney Dickenson. This is actually the 2nd BD mixer ive built of their fleet,, the first one belongs to the owners now. These trucks were hugely popular driving around the Southern Tier. Recently they started to clear out the retired trucks and scrap them out . Thankfully a few trucks are being saved , and mine will be a small tribute for my Husky collection. See ya very soon !

Looks like a fantastic project Dan ! There's so many VN 780s on the road , hardly a day passes without spotting one !

Gorgeous interior

Cable car for a load , that sounds interesting ! This is really shaping up
