Pete68

While going through my 1/32 Trucks trying to find some extra Mudflaps I ran across this old build. So I thought I would try to finish it. This evening I painted the frame and added the wheels. I also painted the interior going to let it dry before I can pick out the details.

Well after several years I’ve finally got this one off the bench and on the shelf. Thanks for all that followed this saga for many years. Enjoy the pics.

Hobby Lobby is now carrying the 1/32 Reefer trailer and some have the Tanker also. If you have one in your area check them out when they go on sale 40% off.

Nice clean build of the Pete Wrecker. Nice job on the back of the tow body with the striping.

Jürgen I can never get tired of looking at the AMT Freightliners. Great build and thanks for sharing.

Great looking truck Brian. That trailer is awesome. I’m glad to see Bill’s Master is holding up and those air cleaners if they are his looks awesome Painted. Hope Jamie releases more of Bill’s stuff for you guys. Thanks for sharing and looks right at home in that case.

Cool little rig Warren

Beautiful Truck I like the colors

Steve that turned out great. You literally redesign this truck and hooked to the Reefer really sets it off glad you finished it and thanks for sharing.

Good looking rig thanks for sharing

That’s one sharp rig very clean build thanks for sharing.

As always great pics and a great build. Turned out great. Thanks for sharing.

Wow Brian that is a great looking truck and those stripes are Killer. The direction you took was awesome this is one to be proud of the stance of this 1/25 White is the best I’ve seen. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice your conversations are top notch guess I’m going have to try one in 1/32 scale. Did you use the first gear chassis on this? Job well done thanks for sharing.

Very nice T-600 you did a great job even though you had some speed bumps along the way. Are you going to build any more 1/32 Trucks or Trailers? Hope to see more soon. Thanks for sharing.

It’s amazing what a good Quality Cab Conversation does for a starting point and makes a wonderful finish. Warren you did a great job on it the bed fits well like it was made for it. I’m honored to say I got to drive a real one almost like this one but it was gray with a black bed back in 1992. Thanks for sharing.

Very impressive collection Steve. All of them are Beautiful I can find a favorite among them. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the complement. Yes I guess it’s time now for that stuff but could be a lot worse off. Yes this paint scheme is probably my favorite too.

Thanks I appreciate it. The wrecker body is a AMT that came with a Mack Superliner. The boom mass I robbed from a First Gear truck.

Correct no difference just name plates and Grilles. Chevy dropped the Bison and Titan in 1980 but the General and Astro went on for another 7 years. Yes with the cobbled up mess I started with it’s finally taking shape. Thanks for the complement I appreciate it Jürgen.

Thanks Steve I can tell I’m getting a little older when I was detailing this last night. The hands are not as steady as they once was and with glasses picking out the dash was getting to be a challenge. I have Bison with a decal dash I’m going to try it I’m not a big fan of those but looks like down the road might be the better option.

Thanks I appreciate it. This is the way I build and always have built Model Trucks. I could go crazy on it with more details but that’s just not me. I’ll leave the crazy detailing and precise building to my brother Bill. Bill sets the bar for me way too high and I’m scared of Heights 😂.

It’s just some Spray Rustolem x2 primer. It’s kinda thick out of the gate but does a great job if you need to do some small filling. I think Tamiya makes a brush on primer filler now not for sure but I can’t see buying that when this is at my disposal.

Thanks Jürgen. This one is a GMC General I know it’s confusing right now with all my builds being Bisons 😂. Chevy also made one too. I have a Brochure I got at a Chevy Truck dealer back in 1977 where my dad always bought his Big Trucks at. I’ll post some pics of it one day. I plan on making one of those trucks out of the Brochure soon. Thanks for stopping by.

This evening I painted and detailed the interior. Should be under glass tomorrow I hope
