Looks Good!

Very nice build! Great work on the stripes!

Very sharp looking KW!! I really like the color!! Great Work!!

Wow!! This thing looks Awesome!!! The colors are perfect!! Excellent work!!

This is way cool! I've been wanting to see how the twin steers were made. I was going to build a Western Star twin steer years ago, but gave up on it.

Very nice work on the truck and trailer!! Daycab cabovers are my favorite!!

The Bronco itself is the AMT Wild Hoss kit. The tires were from American Satco (Scenes Unlimited is a great source for similar ones now). The wheels are rear dragster wheels. The front springs are metal coil springs. Front bumper and shocks are from a Big Foot kit. All the other lift parts were made from styrene and copper wire.

Thanks Michael. I'm just trying to get it slick before I put some clear on it. I also have a couple of places to fix. Being an old resin cast, it has taken a lot of work, and it's still not going to be perfect. It will probably get one more coat of yellow before it gets cleared. It's been drying for a week, but it doesn't look like I'll get much done this week.

That is one sharp looking Diamond Reo!!!

Thanks for the comments and encouragement guys!!

I like this one better than any Australian rig that I've seen! Great Work!!

Very nice work!!

Looking Great!! If I would have tried to lengthen the frame with as much as you've finished already, I would have had a MESS! You make it look easy. Great work!

This truck looks incredible!! My dad drove a 79 for a while. I have great memories of one of these. Can I ask how you did the fans? I always thought that they were a big part of the look of the truck. They add a lot to your model.

Added some color to the cab. Well I guess it's back to sanding.

Thanks Guys!! This has truly been a trial and ERROR build, Heavy on the error. This visor's not perfect, but I'm going with it. Thanks Terry!! I think that this one is killing me too. L.O.L. I'm ready to be finished. I just hope that I can remain patient enough to finish it decent.

Thanks; Dan, Rob, Vic and Gator!! Thanks Dan, I'll Try that. Well this is about the 4th visor that I've made for this truck. I think I'm going to keep this one.

Looking Great!! I like narrow hood truck!!

Looks Great!!

Looking Great!!

What he said!!
