    Very good looking machine, great use of metallic orange too! Well done. What colour have you got lying around now?

    That just a fantastic looking truck. Always loved these things and that paint scheme, just such a striking set of stripes. Your work is so clean and precise. I wish there were more of these around in kit form and in reality.

    Thanks for the kind words. My work pales into insignificance alongside some of the jobs I see on here. It was a challenge but I think either of my two W900s were harder. The Aerodyne because I decided to open the hood and build a Cummins and then Sonny Pruitt's truck because it was such an important truck to me.

    A much better modeller... on blood pressure medication.

    These are masterpieces! When you consider how much scratch building has been involved, they're amazing.

    So sorry to see the shenanigans with the cab. It's the kind of thing you can't really do much about until you're at that stage and everything you've worked so hard on is in place. I'm sure you'll save the day. Don't let it grind you down.

    Looks great with the Wilson. Great stance.

    That's a good looking build mate. Wheels make all the difference. Are they from the Volvo N10 kit they did?
  9. Rockford
    It never is! Looks great though.

    Your patience will pay dividends.

    This is excellent stuff! Great work!

    What a brute of a truck! Great stuff.

    That's a proper little chunky monkey! Looks great.

    Great to see this back on the go, good mixing and matching on the parts.

    Yes, the grill is different and the GMC has a tarp on the sleeper roof whereas the Chevy has a wind deflector. The decals carry all the hood badges.

    One of the unsung heroes of the road. One day people will be dragging them out of fields to preserve them!

    Looks great, love the butterfly hood.

    Can't live with that bumper, I'm going to have to trim it down like I did on my previous 352. I'll recess the grille too.

    The top truck would be a "24 ton rigid" or a "six wheeler" or us old fellas might say "class 2 work" because that was the licence you needed. If it had the type of trailer you're building it would be a "drawbar unit", or in slang for us old blokes a "wagon and drag". The bottom truck is just an "artic" shortened from articulated vehicle, the type of trailer just gets added after : artic tanker/ artic flat/ artic fridge etc... I know the German for tractor unit translates as a wagon with a saddle on its back. I used to work for one of the first Mercedes-Benz truck dealers in the UK. We were dealer number 00002!

    I tried to list my 1/32 fleet last night and so I thought I'd scan through my photos and see just how many I can find. I've missed a few trailers off here because I couldn't readily find unaccompanied photos of them. I've been busier than I thought.

    Good abrasives have more of an effect than you think. Well done on wet sanding too. I was taught to always wet sand when I did days in the paint shop. You'll reap the benefits at the final paint stage.

    Tidy job on the interior! Well done.
  23. Rockford
    Excellent stuff, my models look like someone hitting a box of bits with a stick in comparison. Good job I'm happy being inadequate. 😛

    I used to wrestle with them. There's no room for a spare on modern chassis. Very well done, as usual. Jurgen the Unstoppable!

    I had no choice really. I was very happy with the result.
