M-20 Prime Mover is Finished
DRIPTROIT 71 replied to Chariots of Fire's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Charles, I have come to a conclusion; You must build these trucks full scale and then shrink them with some kind of top secret shrinking ray. However you do it, you are truly a master craftsman! Another beautiful build!! -

KW W900L 007 Edition
DRIPTROIT 71 replied to BigBad's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
First of all, this thing looks real! To say "Excellent work" would be an understatement! I like the headlights! I seems that most kits are off just a bit, but yours look great! What did you use for lug nuts and studs? They look awesome! This entire build is spot on!! -

Convoy Rubber Duck Trailer
DRIPTROIT 71 replied to Warren D's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Warren you really captured the look of the movie rig! Excellent work on this one!! Interesting note; I've seen the surviving movie trailer in person. The inside and underside were all hollowed out to cut weight. You could literally get inside from underneath. I was told that it was to improve the truck's acceleration during the action scenes. -

1954 International Highbinder
DRIPTROIT 71 replied to RoninUtah's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I don't know that I would call mine a "masterpiece," but thanks for the kind words! Nice work on this one!! I like what you have come up with. Interesting story on these truck; climbing hills would be often very slow and sitting right on top of the engine, the heat would build up in the cab so much that some drivers would open the driver's door going up a grade in the summer. -
Gmc ASTRO and Moving Van
DRIPTROIT 71 replied to OldTrucker's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I always thought that Bekins trucks looked sharp. This one is a real beauty! I like the short bumper! Excellent work!! -
That is a real beauty! I remember seeing a lot of those C-Cabs on the road, even worked on one or two of them. The shifter felt like a boat oar stuck in a barrel of grease.?
