  1. Thanks. Trailer build coming soon! ?
  2. Hi everyone, I've already showed you R.D. and Pigpen. Now I'd Like to share my Spider Mike build with you! I built it with an Autocar A64B. Set the front axle 10mm up front and the Radiator grill is made of a Peterbilt 359 grill.
  3. It's just the truth! ?
  4. I'll watch it! Always Happy to get new ideas and to see what others do. I'ts fascinating to see what you guys Put together! Great modelling!
  5. Looks like more than trying! ?
  6. Thanks guys. The decals were from the Autocar A64B. It ha quite a variety included. I've got so many left cause I hardly use them so I hardly remember which ones belonged to which truck. I actually cut them apart because the 'WX' above the Western Express was too large.
  7. Hi everyone, seeing all those beautiful models here is just stunning! I hardly dare to show mine but I'll do it anyway! Here's my Pete 352. Building it was a challenge since a lot of parts were Bent, broken or missing even thought it was a new kit still wrapped in plastic. Don't wanna cry about it though. I made it and it looks quite OK I'd say!
  8. Thanks! Glad you like it too! Next I'll show you my PB 352.
  9. Thanks! It's becoming hard to find new combinations. Having over 20 trucks you struggle for new ideas! The Astro ist one of my favorites!
  10. By the way, I Put larger tires in it afterwards! Thought it Looks better. The cabin ist so huge that the tires seemed like scooter tires. I think it looks more grown up! Front tires are Revell, rear tires Italeri!
  11. Thanks everyone! It was one of the nicer amt kits. A lot of them are miserable in quality and fit. The PB 352 for example was terrible. Frame bent, parts broken or missing. But it worked out somehow. I'll show IT to you next!
  12. Hi everyone, I'd like to share my Astro! Was fun to build! Hope you like it!
  13. Thanks! Glad you like it!
  14. Thanks to everyone! I got the message and will keep my photos in my own threads! It wasn't at all my Intention to be rude or a 'me too' guy! Hope you'll enjoy my posts anyway!
  15. Thanks Rockford, nice to hear that!
  16. That was exactly what I felt when I finished it. Actually a lot of the truck itself ist also Made from scratch since I had used the frame and engine for another tractor! I used rests of an old German M*A*N truck to fill in the spaces. The engine ist from a long gone PB352 COE. I'll Introduce my new 352 soon. The cockpit of this 359 was actually included in the 352 amt kit. The cockpit and some other parts we're missing in the box of the Revell 359. So somehow I managed to find all necessary parts to Finish my camper! Not really a toy hauler anymore!
  17. Hi everyone, I just had to share this one even If it's not as accurate as what I've seen here. Anyway, I decided to do something else than just another tractor. I have to say it's basically a Revell kit of a 359 but I wanted it to look older. See for your self!
  18. By the way, the 'dust' is Just plain baby powder! That works best! Sticks when it's supposed to and ist cleaned away easily! The wiper marks were Made with a peace of soft cardboard Cut to the lenght of the wipers and then swiped over the powder. Works every time! and I added steering. Looks better! ?
  19. Thanks! I'm glad you like it! The trailer ist a Revell kit. I just added the third axle. As I heard from the Carlile team, I've been in contact with them, the trailers become quite heavy and since they're offen longer than the standard 40' trailers they would break down with full load. This is it. Oh yes, I changed the tires of the trailer according to the ones in the tractor. Thought it might look better! That way the trailer looks eben larger!
  20. Hi, I'd like to show you my Kenworth Alaskan Hauler. I built it mid 80's and it survived several moves. Hope you like it! The Carlile team loved it.
