That's just awesome, Steve!

Simply beautiful, Francis. As small as your bottom rod ends must be, do you ever have parts as small as them deform as you separate them from the rod? I guess your tools must need to be exceptionally sharp at all times! Wonderful to follow.

Very fine detail work - steady hands needed here!

Welcome, Chris, and nice Falcon - pleasure to hear the hobby is still being taken up by younger builders.

I bought sets from CTM as well as Kit Form Services - the ones from KFS are a bit more substantial and a bit more depth in the detail

Onward and upward! No rest for ambitious modelers!

The new doors sure look more realistic than before - even more so when the locks are added!

Front suspension looking good! I'm going to have to try that in a future build.

Great add-ons for your build, Ron - will look great!

Looks great, Gary!

Great idea for a thread, Lee - lots of amazing builds in here - very creative works on display, everyone!

I agree with others - hard to hear about having to part with anything you’ve invested so much effort in - terrific scratch building!

The paint lines on your builds are always so crisp - great attention to detail! Another quality build.

Super clean build - dashboard looks very detailed, too - very nice!

Beautifully scratch built deck, crisp paint lines, and just a quality build!

Very realistic detailing - a pleasure to look at, well done!

Very cool to see an update on this build! Lots going on - great to see the progress.

Awesome paint and detailing - love the interior, too - very well done!

A bit of a lazy day happening here, but did do a little work. Had to repaint the front rims because they had chipped around the rim edge from too much careless handling. So, while a couple coats were drying, I made progress on something I need, that being shocks for the front. Then I worked on something I don't need but could add - support chains for the underbody plow. I made up a set, but not settled with outcome because of the size of the chains' hooks - they're a little better that half again as big as they're supposed to be. Maybe I'll get used to them in a few days. Basis styrene tubing for shocks Front shocks made, along with lower mounting bracket that should be part of the front axle, u-bolt mounting assembly; still need to make top mount that it, and the shock, will bolt to the front plow brace plate Am not sure about using these - the plates bolt to either side of frame above the underbody plow. The hooks are visibly too big but maybe, once they are painted black, they will blend into the frame less noticeably. . . They might only be a bit of extra detail overall, Just undecided at the moment - thoughts? Will give the front rims another couple days, and in the meantime will finish front shocks and mounts and get them painted and on the truck. I'll also add the extra bolt heads to the brace plate and re-do the pass through brake lines. Definitely will be a 'roller' next week! (and I'll decide about the underbody plow chain supports!) - Take care!

Looking really good, Steve - fun watching the progress!

Like Gary, I've never heard of this. Sounds like a very rare kit, and it sure is detailed. Very nice progress so far!

Superb execution on your detailing, Oleg - wonderful to observe!

Very cool - do you think you’ll add any doors or windows along the way?

Really like the CTM lights - what are you using for the smaller, red lights?

There’s a lot of complexity to that rear suspension - never mind the plumbing - makes it hard to paint, too! Always liked the ‘shop’ setting in your photographs.
