  1. Phenomenal work doesnt even cover your build absolutely stunning Really looking forward to your Link Belt crane next
  2. Looking good Tom ! Gonna be a sweet build Dont look now folks..but hes starting to scratchbuild !!!
  3. No problem, this lockdown has effected everything. Keep safe Thanks for joining us!
  4. I started the push bar /bumper last night. Luckily I still had enough solid rod to complete it . Gonna close in the ends and add supports later . I used a pipe cleaner for bending template for the larger bar. That sucker is 6.8mm rod...yeah heavy duty . The rear mount was square stock I filled w smaller sizes to make a solid bar. I ground the bottom over for a profiled look Jeff
  5. Thanks Sam !!! It's been fun bringing it back to life and giving it a new look Few smalls today , I kept looking at the winch deck and wanted something like a platform the driver could use to access the bed..digging thru spare parts, I found a section of screen...bingo The other side also got the basket , and a dunnage rack. I'll fill w 4x4s after painting...and the squirrels whittle them down... I mounted the rack a little short , I'm moving the exhaust system to under the cab, and new battery boxes . I'll have another 1/4" space
  6. Very nice Snow dog Looking forward to this coming together
  7. Tbill just finished an Aeromax kit and it turned out fantastic, pretty sure it's the 120 . He should chime in with any difference
  8. Time to fill those huge gaps..I decided to bash together a couple tool boxes. They scaled out around 36 " boxes , just eyeballed space and guessed what looked cool. cut out openings for don mills rectangular slam locks , and added bread tie wire bottom hinges test fit mounts to achieve proper distance under deck..3/8 I beam scraps from a lowboy build was tacked on. The fuel tanks received the same lastly the broom closet is getting detailed. Adding a stack of air tanks against the frame , or the brakes wont work..then chatting w Tbill, I'll make a screen basket coming off deck for odd n ends
  9. Lol I'll probably need to return to work soon..so a fast box shaker isn't a bad idea ..I have a Trumpy kit in mind w a large cannon if I get sidetracked
  10. Haha sorry I looked right past it
  11. Awesome work be sure to post under glass when your finished
  12. Looking good!! Getting close to wrapping this one up
  13. Good looking engine ! Keep it going it looks awesome
  14. Beautiful work Yeah the mirrors are awful I'm sure you'll get it whipped
  15. Thanks it's fun building these heavy trucks Thanks , my buddy sent it to me yrs ago and never had a project heavy duty enough for it. I'm not sure where he got it
  16. Yeah , I'll have to build something oob...
  17. Fantastic work!!! These kits are loaded w details , and your weathering makes them jump out . Really like the yellow ratchet strap for the tire, a tiny change in a sea of Carc tan lol
  18. Awwww well now the grand commander of NY extended our stay home order.. there might be distraction or 2 lol
  19. Awesome this will be fun to watch
  20. Thanks I appreciate the feedback I knew the winch tower would be a focal point, so a few attempts later the newest squirrel called me over and asked what I thought... Happy with his work I sent him off to lunch , and mocked everything up this small broom closet has been crying for something.. after I lower the battery box Possibly a stack of air tanks w a donage box for timbers , tool box ..gonna play around w a few ideas. A larger box will live in front of the fuel tank Thanks for following along
  21. Only advice I can offer ..when I order aftermarket tires , they ask which wheel I'm using . Gary's 22 inch drives in 1/25 scale fits on a 20 inch wheel. Jamie's aka moluminum is the same . These both fit mobius wheel sets .
  22. Love the little details, step dad scrapped a truck yrs ago w tilted engine first time ever seeing that
