.............shot some color ,fenders are black,,couple days and I'll mask off and hit the radiator shell with Revell chrome,,,painted the grille white and have to hit the Brockway emblem with chrome and black wash the mesh .Interior is painted the same Mack green as the B-61 and I started to detail paint the cast spoke wheels(I shoulda got the Auslowe ones in hindsight,,,using the Autocar kit wheels)

Great news!,,thats how I got started building again,,after my back surgery and hip and knee replacement stuck in the house just doing therapy

Thanks Dom !

...........only worked 4 hours today so,,,,lol...... I got all the air lines/valves and chambers done and hit with matt black ,,started to fit the hood halves with the hinge

..we're all guessing on how the chassis and engine will be done as !

..............what I shoulda done was make it a B-42 with a 707 gas engine ,,,lol

Yeah,,they were straight but the AMT R685 kit worked out well regardless,,,, sometimes one must compromise because of the model builders laziness ,,,,lol

Musta missed this,,,,great job Jeff ,,,,,I can smell the hot tar!

................got some bench time in this evening ,more frame prep,,,should get some stuff painted this weekend

Thanks Brian,,I use a piece of brass rod as a "center bolt"

................a little more progress,,been busy with my full part time job,,lol ..............brake chambers added,,I removed the kit front axle and nailed on a CTM metal axle kit I had ,, now fitting the tanks and batt boxes/air tanks,then sprinkle some brake valves and air lines then paint the chassis.I forgot I had a 3D Concepts Hendrickson RT rear suspension kit I was going to use ,,,,next build!

....................every time I see the AMT Cummins engine, I'm reminded of how many times back in the day I snapped the cover bolts off those Perry Coolant Filter housings ,,,,lol

I did a B-61 dump using a GSMT cab kit ,the AMT R685 and the Montone dump body from the Autocar kit ,will be interesting to see how they do this one as far as engine/chassis

I used a 3D Concepts winch on the front bumper of my FDNY wrecker Gary

Ha! I wish someone would 3D print a nice Holmes 600 or 750 ,,the 750 I did a year or 2 ago I got on Shapeways and while it was decent it wasn't spot on as far as scale

.................hmmmmmm ,,,lol

I was joking,,I'm going to build them as tractors....eventually ,,,lol

Thanks Lee! I was gonna ask you if you needed any ,I have a couple I bought just for the dump body....lol

.................not a lot of build time this week but I managed to get the 71 painted and ready to install ,,,I'll weather it up a bit during the final

Adding a load really makes it pop!

Lee,I started with the B-61 dump of putting stone loads in,,I make a false bottom with a piece of styrofoam and use model train ballast glued to it with diluted Elmers
