Gator. I’m going to be using some bead wire I’ll post some pics of it later

Gator. I have to agree with you looks better with the winch I need to put the cable on it and the mirrors and call it done

Thanks gator I’ll be putting a lowboy behind it new ray makes a 1/43 scale tri axle lowboy I will try to see what that looks like thanks for the compliment

Here’s mine I built back in 1989 like Casey’s the front axle looks center and the wheels snug underneath the hood

Casey your truck looks great as well as the paint job. I ordered the exact same decals for my 4200 I’m gonna have to check mine now since I’ve seen the difference in your stripes I have a lot of problem with his decals be an offset from the original color strips a small band of white stripes outline in your main stripe that’s not supposed to be there my brother and I have addressed him on this issue but he still fails to correct it. I’ll get mine out and post you a pic of it.

Very nice I like the Wig Wag and that iron lung on the engine those Engines sounded sweet with a split manifold. Great looking build

Thanks for the complement yeah spell check got me. Posts some updates soon

Bob. Thanks for the complement yes I enjoy doing different things with these JMT Mack’s. I’ll have another that I’ll be building after this one but it will be a single axle.

Today I re-visited this old build and decided to add a Don Mills Winch to it. I’m going try to get this thing off the bench

Thanks Gentlemen. I hope to get this off the bench soon just need to add the wheels and tires.

Thanks for the complement it shouldn’t take long just a few more decals and add the wheels

Added the decals

Here’s a old 1/43 AMT Fruehauf Exterior Post Van I’ll be working on. The decals were Custom made by me many years ago.

Rob me too the Dannon was my first glue together kit it was a disaster. There a very nice kit and I like the room they take up.

Yes just like the 1/25 California Hauler.

Painted the cab and hood today Cat Yellow

Looking good Jeff. You just never know what Dave has hidden in his resin dungeon. I’ll be following

Here’s a 1/43 AMT Peterbilt 359 that I’m making into a Lumber Hauler instead of the Heavy Hauler. I plan on adding some after market parts that I have in the stash. These AMT TNT Peterbilts have always been one of my favorites of the whole AMT line of models.

Rex. I tried to build my very first one the Dannon Yogurt TNT combo when I was about six years old it was a disaster tried to hand paint it testors dark red I think my brother Bill took it over. Here’s a pic of the box top of my first attempt of these little jewels. I really would like to see AMT re-lease these but Heller Models I think have the molds and they altered the cab on the Pete 359 by adding stack brackets.

It was fun while it lasted till my hands and eyes started giving me trouble

Thanks Brian. I understand about the small scale this is like working in 1/25 compared to the 1/87 scale I worked in for years.

Jim. Thanks for the complement the tow truck is nice I have s few of those also. It would be nice to see these again especially with all the new 1/43 trucks there coming out with

Dan. I used Don Mills 1/48 wheels with the kit front snap ring. I also like these I still have several I plan on making a few truck and pup with these. Thanks for the complement.

Ronnie and Jeff thanks for the complement. They are pretty detailed

Here’s some 1/43 Peterbilt 359s I’ve been working on.
