Great job, Jerry. Hope you got over the burn out. Win

Well Dingo...it came out just like I expected. Really nice. Like the curtains. See ya, Win

My way of thinking is, if you don't like it, don't look at it and if you do look at it keep your negative thoughts to yourself. This isn't a forum to bash builders but to encourage them. Also, I would like to say, in the future if anyone has a beef with someone take it offline and keep it out of this forum. Good build, Dingo. It's like I told you in a PM, I think the guy was a truck driver and this is the way he wanted to go out. Win

That's awesome. It's coincidental that a '58 Mack I drove had the same type of emergency brake setup only smaller and the handle was shorter. Win

Yep, your models have always turned out good in the end and I'm sure this one will too. Hang in there. There's a little town in Montana named Forsyth. A sign coming into town reads "Welcome To Forsyth. Population 1944 Friendly People And A Few Grouches". Ya know what I mean, Vern? Win

Really looks good Tim and another big ol' feather in your cap. Tip of the glue cap to you. I couldn't quite make out the name of the decal paper you used. Was it the film that wouldn't lay flat and is this a decal paper to stay away from? The reason I ask is that I make most of my own decals? Win

Lookin' good Dingo...hang in there. Win

Really nice and great job. I don't have the patience or imagination for detail like that. Win

Really a nice build. I like the trim and good job adapting the bed. It looks ever bit as good as an Aussie as it would in a U.S. build. I'm guessing that a tipper in Australia would be a dump truck in the U.S. Win

Bingo, Dingo...lookin' good. Did you ever finish the Mack with the condo sleeper? Win

Model Express http://modelexpress.net/ has the trailer...$39.98 USD They also have the RVG KW W-900 #7497 (red) for $49.98 USD. Canadian company but they ship to U.S. from Colville, Washington. I've dealt with them and they have alwasys treated me right. Go into their site then in upper r.h. corner click on American/International or Canadian whichever you want then it will bring up a page with model listings on the left. Scroll down to trucks, trailers etc. then click into whatever you want. Rots A Ruk Win

BINGO! That's one sharp lookin' build. Win

Looks good and nothing wrong with "out of the box". Most of my builds are from box with a little mod here and there at times. Hate doing engine detail then when the engine's dropped in the detailing can't be seen which is what happened with the Ford Aeromax I built. Oh well... Win

Nice lookin' "Weenie Wagon". Hang in with it. Win

Lookin' good, Tim and fantastic work, as usual. Win

Thanks for the attaboys. I do appreciate them and my wife does too 'cause as I said...she's my color picker outer. Win

Holy cow...shazam...dang....pow...man, those are some eye popper builds. Win

Lookin' good Dingo. Hang in there. Win

Absolutley an AWSOME BUILD. I'm sure there has been a lot of time, planning, talent, blood, sweat and tears put into it but will be well worth it all when it's finished. Win

Finally got 'r done. Sure could have used a wide angle lens on this one but, oh well. Both kits are original. The tractor is Revell and trailer is AMT. My thanks and a tip of the glue tube to Jeff Rae (Corn Patch) who told me "it needs a tank trailer and I have one" so that's how I ended up with the trailer. My wife, as usual, picked the color combo and stripe color. I'll build 'em but my sense of color sucks. So now, on to my next project. Thanks for looking... see ya. Win

Hi Ray, Now that's coincidental...I was wondering the other day if you had finished this build. The trailer is a touch high but not enough to make a lot of difference. I would think that it would be lot of work to lower it but, maybe not. Take care and watch out for the loony toon drivers. Win

Good job but have a question. What's the wire or cable going from the cab back to the trailer? Does it release the hopper doors? If it does thats some inovation. Win

I have only bought resin from Dave at AITM and his products are clean with very little clean up and great detail. Also, Dave has "faster than a speeding bullet" service. Win

Great work. The Lone Star is one mean looking truck...ready for anything that's thrown at it. Of course I'm an IHC fan anyway. Win
