The Brush

Nice work on the Dodge. They make a good combo.

Thanks for the comments they are appreciated. I had a left over hood & grill from the wrecker parts, so i`m building a 351, using those bits, The rest will be scratch built pics up soon in WIP. Also i have made a MACK F700 cab in 1/32nd scale, just waiting for a 1/32 MACK R to be available as a donor.

Hi, Heres the finished Mack, Made mainly from spares & homemade parts, A choice of hood ornaments Grim & bulldog, The one not used sits in the side compartment, Decals are also homemade. Thanks for looking.

Hi, I posted pics some time back in Under Glass, now on page 12 - LJX Dump truck. Regards Graham.

Another fine Autocar, Great work. I like those spots on the radiator guard. Graham.

The plough looks great, I built a LJX Dumper a while back, that also would have suited a plough. maybe next time. Regards Graham

Hi, Thanks for the comments much appreciated. This is final WIP post, The body is now all painted just needs me to make the lights & decals then it will be in Under Glass. all the parts missing i have made from plastic card & resin + hinge pins from variuos nails. Thanks for looking. Back soon.

Very nice, Always liked the look of Autocars, Well done Jim. Graham.

Very nice Mack, looks beefy. Takes a bit of effort to get resin parts looking good. well done. Will it have a plough? Graham.

Fantastic job with this, Great finish & the right amount of weathering make this stand out. Graham.

Nice work on this, Looks good. well worth the effort. Graham

Very business like, another fine build, Take it easy, Hope your feeling better. Graham.

A really nice build, Looks great well done Graham.

Hi, After being press ganged into helping in garden, I am finaly making more progress, Cab & body sprayed satin white with satin black stipes, All chrome is alclad, Mirror arms are made from thin wire, interior from various bits, headlight lens cut from amber acetate with decal detail added. I added under hood detail with card strips covered in tissue paper , PVA glue brushed on then black added. other bits & pieces from the spares box. still some touching up to do on cab strips But now i can start on the body etc. Thanks for looking Graham

Hi, Off to a slow start, but finaly got the frame painted, Rear wheels are italeri, Front are resin tyres & revell wheel with italeri rim, The body had been sprayed with cellulose on plastic ,so i decided to not waste time trying to make it good & make new parts, as i go , wheels & stacks are chrome alclad, this is it so far. Thanks for looking Graham.

That`s a great looking Brockway, Impressive build well done Graham

Hi, Thanks for the comments . I extended the frame & repaired the front axle with ali tube & cut down nails, Because the frame is long & empty looking i added some basic plumbing, The lift axle is scratch built along the lines of the original, the grill was also repaired, new hinges made & mack letters added, The cab still needs more work although it`s in primer. Thanks for looking. Graham.

Brilliant job. Very clean & rare subject, well done. Graham.

Hi, This looks just right. Great work. Graham

Hi, I saw a picture of a crew cab superliner & decided to build one, A gentleman at a model show gave me a box of bits some yearrs back, in this box was parts of the can do wrecker & a Italeri frame with cummins motor, This is the start of the project, 2 resin cabs were used cut & joined with plastic card, The roof filled with balsawood , I will make a frame extension from card & perspex & hopefully all other bits from the spares stash. this is more like recycling than a new build. Hers a few pics to start with.

Hi, Thanks for the interest in the Mack, The chrome vinyl i used was a 3m product in sheet form cut larger than needed & applied with a soft cloth working across the ribs front to back. Chrome vinyl sheet is nowadays available from craftshops like hobbycraft also lots of other colours. Happy new year Graham.

Thank you everybody for the positive comments. Graham.

Hi, That's a well detailed model with a quality paint finish, Look forward to see it finished. Graham

Hi, I knew this would turn out looking good. Very nicely done. Graham.

Hi, Trawling through some old photo`s i came across this distant build from some time back, I built it from plastic card, perspex, plywood & balsa wood, Ali tube, with suspension & wheels from italeri also other parts from the spares. Finished in a pearl green & gold from rattle cans, The trailer is a great dane covered in chrome vinyl. The seats are made to rotate. Thanks for looking.
