Wow KJ! You have done it again! You have a way of bringing your builds to life! Excellent work on this one!! I never really liked these trucks, but I really like this build!!

Francis, all I can say is WOW!!! I didn’t realize that I had missed so much of your progress. The colors look Amazing!! Oil pressure and temperature sending units, WOW!! The starter relay is spot on!! This would be Amazing in large scale, but what you are doing in 1/25th scale is beyond incredible!! It looks so lifelike! You haven’t missed a detail!! Top notch work all the way!

Very nice work!! I had to give this one a second look. Lots of excellent details put into this one! Top notch work!!

I searched “3d Cummins” in model kits and found it. I would post a link, but don’t know how.?

I’m the weird one. I won’t let myself do more than one project at a time. I don’t have room for more than one build on my work bench and I would never finish anything if I had multiple builds going at once. I build mostly old semi trucks, so I browse reference pictures for inspiration. I also like to build trucks from my past. I started a list of potential future projects. If something inspires me, I add it to the list. When I am ready to start a build it is either a recent inspiration or a potential build from the list. Choosing is the hard part.?

Trailer looks Awesome!!

Looks great!!

Looking Great so far!! Nice work on the tail light conversion !! I always assumed that these were the style of lights the the kit was meant to represent. While I always liked this style of Trailmobile lights, you are right, the kit representation falls way short. Looks much better.

Thanks Dave!!

Thanks Jim!! Thanks so much! Thanks!! Thanks Ken!! Thanks Alex!! Thanks Dave!! Thanks Doug! I was going to weather it more, but the pictures that I found of these trucks looked pretty good especially for an old CF truck. The chains on the drive tires were gotten off of EBay and I don’t remember the supplier. I pieced together snow chains to hang on the tanks and a set on the rear from jewelry. The others are just tow chains made from jewelry. Thanks Dan! I appreciate all the encouragement along the way too! Thanks Chris!! Thanks Larry!! Thanks so much!! Thanks Brian! The headlights didn’t turn out quite as well as I had hoped, but they look okay. Thanks Warren!!

Thanks Brian! I almost built it as a pulling truck.

I like the green grille!! Looks great!!
