Thanks Brian!

...........well in between all the rain and earthquakes this week some progress has been made ! Cab and hood mounted ,dump body mounted temporarily to check exhaust height.Luberfiner and hoses run, power steering lines run and I cobbled up a reservoir , Farr air filter and inlet piping to turbo fabbed up and installed , exhaust piping and muffler nailed on .Batteries-cables, drivers side fuel tank and fuel lines next

Thanks! Yep,,,AMT ,dump body from the Autocar kit ,,,and yes even the 1:1 cabs were similar

Thanks Dom!

I like it! I've done a few 1/35th armored stuff and enjoyed building ,, sort of a conundrum though,SUPER detail but then usually no engine/drivetrain to speak of

Like that shifter Brian,,,what did you use brass rod/tubing ?

Did a little today,installed the Detroit ,decaled and clear coat,,finished the interior tub .......home brewed decals on this one too

nice!

A little more progress on the Reo,,,cab,hood,dump body and chassis shot..decals next. Chassis ready for engine install and run air lines,etc . Haven't made up my mind on tire/wheel combo yet

Yeah,the painting and black/white stripe decals were definitely a challenge !

She's done ,lights,tires/wheels,mudflaps,airlines,,,,,too long to fit in my display case hooked to the Transtar though! ...........I need to put another deckplate on the tractor too

I had no problem with that with using Microsol,what I was referring to was I make my own decals with an Inkjet printer and after printing I spray the paper with Tamiya flat clear to set the ink

...........bounced off the Diamond Reo and back on this,,,shot the clear,,,good thing I have ventilation! Installed the tandems and landing gear ,,,run the air bag and brake hoses next

Lookin real good Gary!

Thanks Gary,still bouncing back and forth between this and the IH trailer

...............frame stretched,,walking beams and diffs nailed on,,dump body fitted....6-71T test fitted .......flotation front tires and wheels in the parts pipeline

That's sweet!

Looks great Zip...I watched your video on it ,,that silver almost looks like the Antique Silver I used on the Transtar

Slixx Decals .the clear is from Restoration Shop>> 2.1 Voc High Gloss Clear Quart Urethane Kit Restoration Shop — TCP Global

The Earle trucks were a mix of everything and they always looked good,,,except for that old forlorn DM ?

lol! you got me pegged Gary ,, I see something and get a brainstorm(or brain fart) and I'm off on another tangent! I'll see the Reo/dump to completion..... I'm still decaling the 53ft trailer in between ,,,almost done then clear it and finish assembly

I was checking out Guaranteed Towing's Facebook page (I'm thinking about doing one of their wreckers) and found a pic of them at Englishtown Diesel Truckin' Nationals years ago

I used white decal paper for the IH logos ,,I have a pack of both white and clear paper I got on Amazon for Ink jet ,,pretty good results with it so far,,I spray 3 light coats of Tamiya flat clear over them and let it sit a day before using

Nice job Walter! I like those AWB Moebius kits too!
