Old Buckaroo

That first picture is fabulous. The old Freightliner cabovers are one of my most favorite trucks. Feel free to drop a pm on adding the skirts - I used a sleeper from a "California Hauler" to make mine. Found it easier to cut and remove then patch it in. The cab curve was a perfect match also. The splice was made right behind the molded in light under the door vent.

Very Impressive, I always wondered how these old timers built up. Yours is looking really good !

That color looks super and I really like the decals also. Very Nice !

Glad you guys like the dash. Maybe I still have some of that mojo from painting all those aircraft IP's for years on end Starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Got the hood mounted and figuring the modifications to make the cab line up nice. Thanks for looking in

I like the day cab look myself Nice to see a FLD being worked on.

That is a really nice looking truck. Great to see you were able to save it. Where did you get the decals for the door ?

That is a fancy looking interior. Colors look like real upholstery. Nice work. JT - That is a awesome looking trailer.

That is really Impressive. I could think of all kinds of wondeful things to put on one of those. Very nice work.

JT - what a deal. Wish I could stumble upon a deal like that. Rio's are great trucks.

Mark - thanks for looking in and commenting.Following your build has distracted me some and gave me ideas for that next truck Clayton - I call Elmers the poor mans liquid mask.. Still plugging away at this - I have roughly 7 hrs a day of quiet modeling time. I get about 30 minutes at the bench and spend the rest of my time looking at Tim's awesome sight What turns out to be a quick look at a reference turns into where did the day go. Here is my latest progress. Thanks for looking in.

A Walthers catalog is the reference bible for scratch building supplies.

Good thing the little toad driving the blue rig showed up to take charge and save the day

Hard to believe this was a glue bomb. Very Nice work. The Dozer is awesome as well - it that a modified AMT kit ?

Very nice tanker. First look I thought it had to be a resin conversion. Fantastic scratch building and modifications.

That Pete looks so menacing.

Ewan has plans on casting them. After I get moved to Nowhere Montana I am going to try casting tires.

I think I will buy a case of them !

I would prefer tires made out of resin myself. I can paint them to look the way I want them to.

True enough , but that boxart is really catchy. Somewhere there has to be one sleeping in a closet...

The paint sure looks nice and shiny .

Ok, so I saw a picture of this elusive beauty for the first time today. What a truck - sad thing is I cant find one anywhere. Does anyone know of any sources to find one or what the story is on this kit ? I would love to get this for myself for that upcoming Five oh Birthday

Thanks for the info - as said I am not sure who made it. A friend of mine had it for some time and he knows how much I like the "Ford line of Semi's" Sorry for the bad pic - sun is actually shining today in the PNW to wash out the white. Thanks for the info on the frame, that has been my setback trying to figure out what to use and find some reference material.

Hey Sam , will you be using the AMT setback axle Autocar for this hood conversion ? The pic of the logging truck is super sharp.

Now that is a sharp looking wagon. I cant wait to see the figures painted up with it.
