Thank You. You should check it out in the Under Glads section.

Thank You.

Now I’m getting everything figured out on getting those Terminator eyes to work and how I’m going to hide most of everything on the truck. YAY.

I have completed this portion of the build. Once I have the truck, that’ll go with this one, I’ll be posting it as Paert #II. Until I’m able to get that truck, here’s this one, with it’s temporary truck.

I got the semi part of this build done. So I’ll post it in Under Glass, with its temporary load.

Here’s the haulin body, for the truck. Now all I have to do is finish painting it and I’ll be ready to add it to the truck.

Thank You. I’ve been have a lot of fun with this build as well.

Thank You

Thank You. I didn’t see any of the parts being warped much. Maybe just the piece that goes on the very top was slightly. I’m wanting to get another tanker trailer and shorten it to half the length and put it on the back of another International Transtar 4070.

The truck is 22” long and the wheelbase is 14.5” long. Now, when I can, I’ll get a pair of the MPC ‘78 Dodge D100 kits and convert it into a W350 diesel, with the intercooled 5.9 Cummins. Along with updating the bed and cab sides to the ‘81 to ‘93 trucks. hcy728(Bob) gave me the idea to build a pickup truck to match and go with my truck.

Thank You

Thank You

True & Thank You.

Here’s a quick mock up of the truck. This build is now part one of two. I’ll build a model of a 1/25 4x4 truck to go with this one. That’ll be part two.

I got these in the mail yesterday. So, now all I have to do is figure out how to wire them up, with a battery and a small on/off switch, and figure out how well I’ll be able to get them to fit, then I’ll be good to go with this build

I’m familiar with CATIA, so that won’t be a problem there. I’ll just have to figure out and learn how to get the model from my laptop to a 3D printer.

I’m now done with this portion of the build. Now after I get the hauler body done, and glued onto the back of the truck, I’ll be able to glue on the mirrors

Cool. Thank You for the ideas. Another idea I got was that I could build up a model of the body, on my computer, and then 3D print the body.

You’re Quite Welcome. That’s a really cool pair you have. You gave me an idea for my W900 Hauler, make a model of a pickup, about the same year frame as my KW W900 Aerodyne and have the pickup on the back of my KW W900. Thank You Very Much for the idea.

Here’s the front bumper. Almost done with it. Here’s the rest of the truck. I’m calling this part of the truck done. I’ll wait until I have the hauler body on the truck, then I’ll put on the mirrors. The idea behind the bumper is to have one of those big heavy duty front bumpers, but have it look like the factory bumper.

Oh, Cool. Thank You.

Thank You. I’ve just been figuring things out as I’ve been building. Ther than converting the Papa Truck into a conventional and using those Moebius Super Single wheels and tires, I didn’t have any idea on how I wanted this to look or how I was going to build it.

That canopy looks awesome. It looks like it came with the kit and wasn’t scratch built. Great Awesome Work.

That’s Awesome.

Thank You.
