Thanks Dom,,,,it's gonna be an "independent trash hauler" with a bit of tongue in cheek thrown in ,,,still working on those decals on my ink jet printer

I'm not a 3D printer guy but isn't the print line issue a calibration or how the piece is situated in the printer or how the supports are laid out? Anyway for the couple of 3D print builds I've done with blems ,usually just slight print lines in some areas I've used Mr Surfacer ,,,brush on and sand

I updated the kit engine to spin on oil filters and also added engine mounted and frame mounted primary and secondary fuel filters ,,cab is painted ,,I just sat it on there for the pic,I also used the dash from the R685 kit to update the DM 600 dash which was the early roundish style ,the interior will be the beige/brown traditional Mack colors of that era

Thanks Jeff,,,yeah a couple fuel lines,air and power steering

Thanks Brian,,yes the CTM brake valves,,,I didn't get too carried away ,,just relay valves in the rear and a quick release mounted on the front crossmember...you won't see much of the rears anyway with the body on

Frame painted,engine going in

The truck looks better with those fenders Gary ,,,more show truck style

Looking good Dom,,Microscale decals has stripes,various widths and colors for trains,,,I've used them on some of my builds Microscale Decals

Those came from Paul ST Supply ,,I have used Jamie from Moluminum also ,,but I doubt if he'll be producing anymore with his health issues ,,recent amputations and I hear getting prosthesis so thats good,,,yeah never know maybe eventually he will be back in the game

The overspray is spot on!

I've seen Cat-track material somewhere ...I think R/C stuff ,,,might be worth an innerweb search

I'd stick a 4-53T Detroit in it ,but's thats just me ,,,lol ....nice job

Got the frame lengthened ,I was able to source another DM600 kit that was missing a bunch of parts but had the frame rails ,so I used those ,reinforced with some brass strip. I had these 2 hole Budds for awhile so I thought I'd use them on this ,front end pretty much done with brake chambers,drums and the hubs ,,,on to the rears then we'll throw some air lines in and paint

A little more progress........... Karl's body required the addition of some sheet styrene for floor plates ,,did that so I can determine the fit on the chassis , started some cab work,fitted the pass side hood fender extension and threw some putty at it. Probably cut the frame and get the stretch done this weekend . The engine is assembled and primed ,,just have to spray it Mack engine gold

......I haven't ,,, lol

Welcome aboard !

A little chassis and sub-assembly work,, I'll make my frame cut right after the middle crossmembers

........still waiting on the day cab conversion kit 😉

"broke the tie rod arm off the driver's side spindle."..................didn't even get delivered to the customer yet and down for repairs! ,,,lol looks great bro!

Thanks Dom,,,Essex County...lol..your on target with my theme!

Dan,,you might like this one then >> ORDER# 113 | A-1 Raceworks 3D Resin Prints

Just checked it out,,,nice !

Great job!

Great job bud! a lot of the hydraulics on Karl's are molded in,,,I'll see what I can do to improve on that , the LEACH nameplate on yours,,did you make that,,decal ?

Warren ,,here's what Karl gave me ,,cab/interior/hood/bumper/headlights/grille/2 fuel tanks/air cleaner/luberfiner/windows.......... I compared the fuel tanks with ones from the R685 and the Brocks are a lot smaller ,they have two chassis brackets each molded in
