Looks like it is coming along nicely.

Thanks for the info Tim. The ones you have built look great.

That is exactly what I wanted to hear, you are the man. You just made my day.

I would love some of those but wouldent pay that much. Not that they are not worth it, I just dont have the money.

I just bought this online. I have never built it. What can you guys tell me about it. Biggest thing I want to know is how hard is it to make in to a day cab?

Sucks to hear about the paint issues but looks good to me none the less. Stupid question. What is the photo etch parts. I know what they look like but what is the proces involved in making them?

This is one of my favorites to build. As with any kit though it involves a lot of sanding. since they reissued it they are all over ebay for cheap.

This is one very cool looking project. I cant wait to see it finished.

Here are some new pics

I will remove it if you want. Happens to be my favorite log truck model. Not in any way trying to take credit for it. Can I ask what kits you used to build it? Thanks. I am hoping to make it as origenal as possible but like I have said, painting is not my strong suite.

Anyone got an AMT Peterbilt 359 or 357. Actually does any one have the truck in the pic?

That hood looks very nice.

This a pic of the truck my dad owned. Its a 70's 359. It had an 8V92 Detroit when we got it but dad swapped in a Cat 3406. I am going to try and build as closly to this as i can. Only thin that realy worries me is how I am going to do the paint job. Any advice. This is just a pic of the reissue log trailer wheel. It is a much better product over all. I am glad they put some care in to it.

Decided to build another logger. This time I am going to build one of my dads. I was going to post pics but they are loading slow. Found an AMT Peerless log trailer on Ebay for $18 shipped. Its a reissue but to tell ya the truth I like it better then my originals. The wheels are especially better. I will post the pics in the morning as I am letting them load right now. I still need a truck and I am looking for the AMT Peterbilt Wrecker or day cab. I have found a few but they are worth their weight in gold on ebay. If anyone can make be a good deal I would like to do it

Who is your host server out of curiosity.

Wow that really sucks Tim. I hope its up and running soon.

This will be nice when its done. I love a Western Star.

One thing I would love help on is this. I have no idea how to get started doing weathering.

Cant wait to see this one done. Looks very cool.

That looks awesome. I am a huge log truck fan as not many people build them plus I love International so I am very pleased with that model.

I actually used one of the straws from a JB Weld liquid metel kit from AutoZone.It was the right shape and size. I just cut it down and painted it up. Nothing special.

I have noticed that. Most of the log trucks I have seen modeled dont have them. Always wondered why. Yep. Still a work in progress though. Its eaier for me since I grew up in a logging family and was around these trucks my whole life.

Wow that looks great.

Thanks for all the reply's. Tim I love your site. Amazing work you do. When are you going to do a logger. The logs are cut from a Ceder sapling I had growing on my land.
