  1. So a minor setback..seems i can't read my own notes ! I had to pop the head apart and rebuild it larger . I confirmed my suspicion w Jim's book. Mine was 1/8 narrow by 1/4 short . Adding new sides and top got me back on track. Thanks for the comments I appreciate them !
  2. I haven't posted it yet, ill arrange it closer to yrs end .
  3. I'll have to take a couple, my phone memory was loaded and tons got erased
  4. Good to have ya along ! Love the autocar trucks .
  5. Awesome build, I really enjoyed building mine ! Nothing like huge tires on a massive chassis for a working truck Following
  6. Fantastic work! There's so many details to see
  7. Very nice, especially since you took the time to open it up
  8. Glad ya dug this back out ! When ya sent the photo of the rose color at first I thought you'd been drinking the kool aid , but as always trusted your eye and let it play out ! The vibrant red should look good under the body color , somehow I was expecting white or tan
  9. Hopefully some day I'll get to see this in person !! Outstanding work as always
  10. No problem Pete this yrs been very chaotic. Sometimes this hobby keeps us sane when the world around us is in turmoil! I volunteered to host the 21 brbo too, hopefully you'll join us
  11. Thanks I appreciate the feedback Gator ! How have ya been ? Great to see ya on here been awhile Thanks for the comments, yeah we cold weather folks have the enjoyment?? of seeing these monsters roam the roads
  12. Wow December already and only a few more weeks and the voting for the people's choice winner will be awarded! Everyone that participated really turned out outstanding work, and kept the brbo running smooth ! Thanks again to everyone who joined and built a model even if it wasn't completed. Looking forward to the 2021 brbo
  13. Looks like another fantastic group of builders , and projects in store for 21. !!!
  14. Tiny update , I've been working on the discharge chutes that send all that pummeled snow airborne, or loaded into trucks to get hauled away. Theres 2 sections that are hydraulically extended by driver , so I started w the lower one. I drew about 8 patterns before committing plastic..sanding /filing away the excess then laminating onto spare sheet bits ending up w a pair of sides . Triangles and circles lol Adding more curved strips along the sides and top finally produced a chute . I realized if I bevel the edges the parts fit tighter....I tend to ignore the obvious lol The outside chute was built similar, and will cover the first or be displayed deployed..haven't decided. Another object i absolutely wanted to add was the sawtooth drift breaker inside the bank head. Laying out strip then marking out close enough gaps i cut grooves w the wheel of death w a this cut wheel then flossed w sandpaper Yes...thats another bank head underway..my buddy plow chaser wanted one for a build , its like a Sicard assembly line !!! Best part is learning different ways of making multiple parts w different details Marking out sheet for the 2nd impeller body, and this image turned up..extra points if ya know who this character is !!! Yeah my daughter has dad well versed in cartoons
  15. I'd jump in and volunteer to host the 2021 brbo if there wasn't any one else who wanted to volunteer. Hopefully 21 will be an improvement over 20s mess , and we'll all get back to normal..whatever that means now . I'd be happy to ditch these annoying masks , and able to visit people again without snitches reporting ya
  16. Man you've got this build dialed in ! Swapping out kit tires w am really makes a huge difference
  17. Sounds like people would join up , we could start another ! Anyone want to volunteer for hosting it
