I'll ask James Cameron If he'll make me an avatar! 😉

The tank will be chromed, the ends blue or silver. Therefore I'll paint everything blue, like the truck and then mask the areas that won't be chromed. I don't think it matters if there's gloss black or gloss blue underneath the chrome!

Nice rig! We don't get these in shops Here so I'd have to order or design one! I'm more into 60s and 70s but maybe someday I'll make an exception! Hope then it'll turn out as nice as this one!

Never Seen an Autocar in that configuration. Cool idea and nice work! 🍿🍺 Ready for more!

My boss wants me, and all the others, to come back into the office more instead of staying in home office where he can't see what we're doing. Anyway that gives me less time since I have to drive about 40 mins from work to home. 40 mins less in the evening for bench work. Still got a bit done yesterday! Touched up the frame on the truck that holds the tank and primered some parts. Most of them will need at least a second layer before I start sanding!

Tell my boss! He wouldn't be amused if I stayed home to build models instead of doing my job! 😉

I'm in! So much fun here!

I can only agree and I'm Happy for Steve that hes got a scale companion! You guys are champs in this scale! Always fun and interesting to watch!

Nice collection there and great work in the Bison! Looks like a big one!

Looks great! Like the engine and the piping around it!

Wow! Thanks Graham! I'm impressed! That's quite some work you put into that! And it's an interesting way of approaching it! I might try that on my next build!

Looks like an interesting build! A functional tailgate would surely be cool but you could just hinge it up at the top corners They way it is on the Autocar would be quite adventurous but a challenge! Can't wait to see more! 👍

The General is really a truck for multiple purposes! You can make anything out of it from a two axle day cab tractor to beer truck (?) or anything in between! It always looks cool. Keep going! Love to watch this!

That looks cool! Nice Idea for a build! ?

Tell my boss! He wouldn't be amused if I stayed home to build models instead of doing my job! ?

6x6 is a cool thing for trucks. Reminds me of my 6x6 Oilfield General! Fun to build! Hope to see something similar Here someday!

Don't know when I'll have time for primer and painting the small stuff! Truck chassis has to be partially repainted, at least the frame on top including the rear bumper bar and the hitch. Got lots of work to do and hardly any bench time this week!

Just wow! May I ask how you masked the stripes? I'd love to widen my horizon on that. Looks just perfect! Would have guessed they're decals! Perfect job!

Go on Ron! Next build! We're all anxious to see what's next!

Thanks Jeff! Hope it turns out the way I expect!

A little mock-up to see how it's gonna look. Don't know If I'll use both ladders. I think one's enough. Need one for the trailer too and if one more breaks I'll have a spare!

Three of four ladders survived the removal of the support structures!

Thought I'd post some virtual parts cause they show the detail better. This is the bracket I made for the hitch: I made it fit to the end of the truck chassis! It fit perfectly, so did the hitch but I was so anxious to get the hitch on that I didn't notice it was a bit too short. Oops! I'll have to try and remove it or cut it off and lengthen it.

Anytime Ron. Glad to have helped! (I only recognized them after my third view in the model!) ? Did a great job on this Pete! A real eye catcher!

Jeff, that is one detailled chassis there. Just by looking at it I can learn lots! I might Just "borrow" some of your knowledge for my next build! ?. Those decals look like painted! Wonderful job on those!
