  1. Thank you, tommy iknow.
  2. Thank you, Mario! I agree with you on the bigger wheels. Most of the heavy duty Mack, Autocar, and Brockway, dumps, mixers, and lowbed rigs had big 24" rubber for decades. Too bad the AMT Autocar /MPC Macks did not include the bigger wheels/ tires in their kits. Thankfully, the aftermarket guys were/ are able to fill those voids. The paint is Rustoleum Gloss Emerald Green over Rustoleum gray primer. I photographed it from a low angle on my rear deck in natural sunlight.
  3. Thank you, Graham! I'd love to see some photos of your LJX Dumper. Can you post some?
  4. Thank you for the tip on the pinstripes, Warren! Love your Brockway 361 dump, by the way!
  5. Fantastic job on this Brock 361!! I delivered many Brockways when I worked for the Brockway branch in Boston many years ago. The 361's were always my favorites! Bob
  6. Outstanding build, Rich! Looks like it was driven right off the showroom floor! Bob
  7. Thank you, Graham! Yes it has a plow for winter snows (See additional photos). And yes, it does take some effort to get the resin parts ot look good.
  8. Nice job, Brian!! You nailed this! Bob
  9. Outstanding build, Tommy! Who sells those nice 1954 Ford grilles? Bob
  10. Thank you Philippe. It was an awesome model to build! Bob
  11. Thank you, James! Yes, the tires and rims are both resin, molded separately for ease of painting and assembly. You have a choice of sizes, these being 24 inch. Bob
  12. Hi guys, This is my first model to be submitted to this forum. It is a Mack B-81SX Dump truck in 1/25th scale. The cab/chassis is from the late Dave Natale of AITM, the dump body is a AMT Montone glue bomb, and the plow frame is from Ryan Pedone. It took about three years working on it part-time. Suggestions and comments welcome. The snowplow is actually two AMT Ford LNT Snowplow kits that were combined into one Valk snowplow moldboard (blade), increasing the blade height substantially. Cutting edge and nuts/ bolts added. Bob
  13. I'm really not sure at this time, Charlie, as the gas prices are pretty steep for that drive. Bob
