Thats’ genius, Steve !

Wow. Very cool. Lots of details. You should be very proud. Really good job ….

Thanks , pal. It’s going to be a long road for this one and I hope I can do it justice.

Thanks , Steve. I built this kit as a kid, and somehow it turned out ‘ok’ and this time I wanted to kick it up a notch, and you're right, the instructions leave a bit to be desired…. And there is a lot of room for ‘interpretation ‘ its not a kit for a little kid. Thanks for the kind words , Steve , still a lot of research to go. It’s going to be a long road

Thanks Randy, progress is a bit slow of late, I am still trying to figure out the very complicated brake system and the plumbing. I have been playing a bit with the Western Star, and so the research still goes on. Thanks for the kind words my friend

So sorry to hear this , pal. The experts will get you repaired and back on the road. The one thing I always keep in mind….. the medical world gets better and better every day, Cathy and I wish you well and a very quick recovery. All the very best my friend. Take good care. Will be in touch.

This sure is cool , a lot of engineering and measuring goes into this. Really interesting and fun to watch, keep going JM !

My pleasure Brian, I’m glad some of the info was of some practical use. I , for one, can’t wait for your next update. This is like candy, that I can’t get enough of …… the only thing about this kind of candy is , it won’t make me fat !

Master Class.

Wow ….. that’s impressive, really smart idea with the doors. This is such a cool build. Love your progress and watching this come together. A unique truck to be sure

This is so cool !!

I love the way the wrecker body sits on the frame. Wheel openings dead center over driver hub and the perfect spacing from the top of the tires to the wheel opening, absolutely perfect. This one is a show stopper. Great attention to the details. Love it

Thats the one. Dump truck or wrecker either one would make a col build. I love this build. Old iron is so cool.

That dash panel looks awesome!!

Looks great Dan. What are you using for air lines and cables? I like the natural sag.

Brian , as far as putty is concerned, I struggle with some of these putty’s too, and somewhere along the line, I heard about using REAL automotive body spot filler. A thin application and wet sanding can do wonders. Used sparingly it can show nice results. I used on the cab of my Heavy Haul Western Start I showed you. This is the stuff I use and this is as small as I could find and is about 14 lifetimes amount. But it does work

What a beauty !! Clean and straight as an arrow. Your stripes are perfectly aligned and the cab sits spot on. That makes for a very sharp build. That sure is a good looking truck. And like the other guys say the back drop is excellent and really enhances the over all appeal. Just excellent..

Holy. This is moving along at lightning speed…… this 3d printing is just amazing. You come up with some really cool subjects. This is going to be a rare and unique truck in your collection. And the only one in the world as a model I would bet, that in itself is really cool

The Master Class is in session. This is magnificent. Your attention to detail is incredible. And not only that, your execution is exquisite. Super fun to watch, Brian.

Another Master Class in real modelling, incredible detailing. What a little jewel.

It was a tow truck , right?? Such a cool truck

Cool. Sure looks smooth. What are your plans for glass? I love these old rides

Lookin good , Dan . That dash can be frustrating as there isn’t a lot of working room for ‘fudge factor’. It came out pretty good. The air system is looking really busy as well. I like where this is going. Be great to see paint on the frame. Always a milestone.

Brian, your fabrication work is outstanding. This is well in hand. It is coming together masterfully. Can’t wait for your next update

That’s true modelling. What a brilliant result !
