Thanks everyone, much appreciated!

Can’t wait to see the final on this one.

Great job! This will look awesome when you finish.

That is a superb build, KJ!

So watching this build, learning things as you go.

This is a great looking build, Dan! Great craftsmanship.

Too many! ?

Your build looks awesome! I have always wanted to build one of these. I have heard so many good things about the kit.

Wow! Just beautiful!

Love the colors! Nice looking combo.

Great looking build. These trucks are great builders.

Very beautiful work! The weathering and detail are amazing.

Thanks everyone. Much appreciated!

Beautiful work JT. The trailer looks awesome!

Thanks all. As I stated earlier, I’m not a great scratch builder. I really messed up my frame so I had to start over. I am going to update the subframe. I am using the sub from a Moebius van trailer. I couldn’t really find a suitable frame and didn’t want to destroy another one so I scaled and 3D printed my own. Thanks to all the folks at Thiniverse, I was able to find a few suitable frames and rescale to what I was looking for. Hopefully, the second time is the charm.

Thanks Jim!

Thanks Brian! I really like the look of a weathered truck. I like showroom paint jobs too but a weathered truck gives more of a sense of realism, IMO.

Thanks Dan! I used the the AMT GMC Astro for the donor. Don’t forget to move the exhaust closer to the cab and notch the frame so the cab will tilt.

I want to apologize for not being active lately. Life has taken a few crazy turns in the past few months. It’s good to know there is always a place here to get away from some of life’s issues. Thanks to you all. The Dodge is finished. I made a few boneheaded mistakes but it still turned out decent.

Thanks for all the comments. Thanks Brian for all of the great information. The little Dodge is finished. I made several mistakes on this one but it still turned out decent. I may bring it back to the bench this winter and rework some of the issues.

Absolutely gorgeous!

Nice build!

Very sharp!

Good looking build.

Awe inspiring!
