1.5 months, roughly 200 hours, and it's done. There's too much to list, so I'll have the pictures do the talking. It has 24 functional lights as well! Any questions just ask, and enjoy!

Thank you everyone for the kind words!! -
Finished this one up last night! Aftermarket decals, frame stretch about 1.5", resin rims, New exhaust stacks, and other little odds and ends. Enjoy!

Big Rig Mock up’s
TruckerAL replied to Pete68's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Little crude and quick pictures, but this is my current never ending project. Ford ltl9000 with an American wrecker body on it from the amt 359 kit

Self explanatory title, I built this one during downtime at work. I have a workspace set up in my storage locker next to my tool box along with all my basic supplies and paints. Box stock, added Italeri peterbilt oval rims, chain holder, roof a.c. unit, and aftermarket stripe decals.

Finished this one up early last week. It took me about 3-4 weeks total start to finish. First time adding lights to any truck of mine. Quite the lengthy process but so worth the results. Added headlights, turn signals, cab lights, and red underglow. Along with the leds I did quite a bit of modifications. Scratchbuilt sleeper, suspension lowered a few mm's, 3d printed exhaust tips, rear fenders, rims, bumper, and running lights. Vintage decals. Plus other little odds and ends. Enjoy!

Thank you everyone! It'll be heading to it's first show on the 20th. Hoping for a good outcome. Fingers crossed!

Fresh off the work bench, my first build for 2024. A lot of time and work has been put into this one! Unfortunately it was very windy when these pictures were taken, so I snapped what I could quick before the truck blew off the platform. I'll take better ones another day! Planning on a matching trailer for it eventually. But here's the mod list done to this truck: Lowered the suspension a few mm's. Moved battery boxes and fuel tanks forward. 3d printed rims, cab/sleeper panels, exhaust stacks, bumper, mudflap hangers, hood ornament, chicken lights. Real rubber mudflaps. All testors paints too. Enjoy!

I'm interested as well, but I unfortunately don't build any cars so I don't have anything to trade for it sadly 😕

Just wrapped this one up last night. Modified Paystar 5000 dump body, custom decals, scratchbuilt lift axle, custom mudflaps, and so on. Lots of work put into it. Enjoy!
-
As promised, here are the outdoor photos!
-
A 1.5 month long project finally completed. Been waiting for outdoor photos to post this combo. Lots of work done to it, 2" frame stretch, dual tanks, scratchbuilt exhaust system, and so on. The pictures should explain everything, enjoy!
-
I'll post better photos at a later date, but I just wanted to get this posted and show it off a little. I built it using nothing but loose parts from my collection. Nothing on here is brand new except for the exhaust stacks those are 3d printed and the mudflaps I made. The rest is all either scratch made, or sourced from parts bins. There's atleast parts from 20 trucks on here!

OldSchool Peterbilt 378 and Trailer
TruckerAL replied to TruckerAL's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Thank you everyone! It's definitely one of my favorites. It's unlike anything I've ever built in the past. The chrome trailer really sets it all off. If I had to guess, maybe 100+ hours total? It definitely was a lot of time
