Old Buckaroo

I drove home a '79 Pete Coe a week ago and I know exactly what your talking about. Power steering and air bag suspensions are so overrated

Ben, I needed some netting for an aircraft build several years ago. It was out of scale for what I did then but might work for you. the material - Fishnet stockings

Stephen - that is just awesome. Congratulations on saving up for your purchase instead of playing the "credit game"

That is one nice looking truck. Is your brother going to work it or just toy around with it ?

Oh yeah, I caught that beauty !

That is just Super ! Seeing this gave me the best smile I have had in a long time

Montana style

Both models are fantastic looking trucks !

Thanks guys, This has to be the slowest progress I have ever made on a kit. Got the rest of the engine components on except the fan. Not going new and shiny with this one.

Oops wrong category - didn't realize this topic was under glass

This is a very nice looking truck. Where did you source the stripe from ?

Clayton - I really like that KW - It just screams to be modeled ! Mark - nice pic, is that you ?

After several months I was lucky enough to spend some time at my workbench today . Thanks to those who checked in and commented.

Fantastic looking truck - I really like the paint scheme you followed !

Fantastic work all the way around ! I would keep the sleeper level with the cab roof. Drop the crawl through down and fill the overhead space with a same size strip. As for the bottom of the sleeper a strip of real thin styrene could replicate a aluminum strip that could house running lights or fuel tax permits.

I had given up on finding an Italeri WS and stumbled upon this on ebay at a bargain price. I had originally wanted it for another project but I like the decals so well It will most likely stay as the boxart.

Brian, glad to see you found this forum. I have enjoyed all your trucks you have posted over at Hanks ! Very nice work on the White - the short hoods always looked really tough to me , and nothing better then spoke wheels . (on a model truck )

Dennis - that trailer is one fine piece of work. The trio looks Outstanding !

Congratulations Clayton - That is just awesome. I hope "Momma" is doing well. Is the baby room ready ? You will be wishing "Hobby Lobby" carried diapers so you can use those 40 % coupons ! As Jim said they do grow up fast .

First seeing this I thought this was from JT's workbench.

Clayton - those pics are really nice. Man I love that Freightliner, I want to build a model of that one. Pretty awesome Diamond T with the jailhouse grill also !

I am off to a late start on my "Mack Madness" project. The kit is a vintage AMT from the late 70's complete with the Truck'em up poster add. My truck will be built as an "owner operator" rig. Since Terry has a major jump start on me I figured I had better pull some tricks to make up for my tardiness. Here is all I have to show so far, I dropped each one of those lines at least four times to the carpet.. Stay tuned.

Those are quite punny !

Wow Terry, you never fail to impress me with your creativity . I really like the work you have done and those front spring hangers look great. So how are those Lego frame stands working out for you ?
