Looks beautiful! Nice idea and the wooden is awesome!

Great idea with the icicles! Makes it even more authentic! Looks great!

If that's roughly built I can't wait to see it finished! Looks perfect to me already! Awesome build, Gary!

Oh yes, ver impressive! Very professional approached to several items! Very fun to watch!

Interesting build! Never seen that before either. I'm watching!

I know, it's already posted in "Under Glass" but it just wouldn't let me go that I had a different bumper in mind! So I made one! Since the printed one wasn't good I first thought about styrene but then I realized that I have 0.5 mm aluminium sheet to work with. What do you think? I even put a dent in it to make it look a bit more realistic! I deliberately didn't chrome it cause I like the look of the aluminium! Fits the sun visor!

I'll bring the beer! 🍺 🍺 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

That will be another great build Ron! I'm in! 👍

Looks really nice! Where's the checker plate from? Looks great!

Get well soon! 👍 Enjoy that wonderful friendship! 😊

Really beautiful trucks! Love that Freightliner!

Now my work space is cleared and ready for my next project! I'll be building my show case now and hope I can begin "showing off" some models in it soon! I guess sometime around end of January I can slowly start building the next truck! Don't know how long it will take to get the glass doors and shelves done. I'm having those made by a company near by!

Thanks Ron! Nice to hear your words. I really appreciate it!

Cool stuff! The build and the chalk! Might try that out! Thanks for sharing!

I used the Revell chrome spray a lot recently and you do have to let it cure for quite a long time to be sure not to get any fingerprints on it. Luckily I had enough space to hold the parts and handle them but the trailer tank of my Pete seemed dry and I did get a print on it! After a week or so it's OK. Maybe you have to cure it in a very warm and dry place. That's my experience. Still I wouldn't want to miss it. It just looks cool. Did you do anything special to cure it, Gary?

Jeff, that is WOW!!!

Yo man!

Thanks! That would be great!

Thanks Lee, would love to see the Autocar! They're just nice trucks!

Nice bulldog Mack with a can on back! Love that combo! 😉

OK, since refurbished ones count too, here are the ones from `24: My Mack RS700L "Rubber Duck" got a new hood and bullbar (tiltable), new front wheels and the original "Rubber Duck" on the hood! And this Mack DM800, which was more than boring out of the box, not painted, got a new look! New paint job, new bumper with a winch, new stack and decals: and of course my newest refurbished project, the recently finished Pete 359 which made a metamorphosis from a not very cool camper to a pretty cool tanker truck (my opinion) with a brand new trailer!

Thanks. I like that one too! Especially cause its from my favorite movie!

Didn't like it that much either to be honest!

You're probably right! I started out with an AMT kit but after that I bought the 1/32 Freightliners (coe and conventional) and a tanker and reefer. After those I went Back to the 1/25 kits again! If I had had todays skills, maybe I would have stayed with the snap kits!

Congrats Steve! Looks like we're into a new and interesting build!
