Peterbilt 359 (full custom)
Rockford replied to Gary Chastain's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Semi Casual do some amazing stuff. I was watching them on YouTube. Don't like all of it but they have amazing attention to detail. The potential on this is endless! -
Revell's Auto Transport Trailer: WIP

Great looking job. Will be an excellent combination. -
Resto Rod Autocar
Rockford replied to Gary Chastain's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Absolute work of art that Gary. Very tidy and clean too. A show truck. I love the stacks, you can't beat real metal. -
KENWORTH K123 Cabover
Rockford replied to Brutalform's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Nice job on the Cummins 855, chassis looks good too. Hope the kit isn't too vague for you, but you'll have experienced AMTs ways of doing things before, it's just a bigger version of "what goes where?" -
KW 86 inch Aerodyne
Rockford replied to k100's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Looks great. Well done. -
Mack Superliner
Rockford replied to Jürgen M.'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
That's going to be a great trailer to pair with your Mack. Great combination. -
That is so clever! That's worthy of Jim Wangers that is. I do love his Pontiac adverts, just so clever.

Revell's Auto Transport Trailer: WIP
Rockford replied to David G.'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
You're doing a great job on this. I like the wear on the diamond plate. The chains and pins look good too. It will look great with a load on it. -
Great looking truck, would be great to have one of those around

Western Star Classic heavy haul
Rockford replied to Biggu's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Very clean build, great colour too. So many little touches on this rig, it's a real standout. -
White Freightliner
Rockford replied to Bronzekeg's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Very nice job with some very nice features- opening doors, double sleeper, paint scheme, well done. -
Western Star 4900 FA plow truck
Rockford replied to BK9300's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
When you get into fabbing stuff to the degree you have on this job you see how much work the kit makers have to put into each kit. It's a wonder anything can be built. Persevere, you'll sort it I'm sure. You can see the filter housing is too big from the kit. -

Nice install on the DD. Looks factree. -
IH Emeryville with Flatbed
Rockford replied to DRIPTROIT 71's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Very "of its era" with the single drive and the tag axle. Love it. Like the pot belly trailer too, thinking of one myself. -
KW 10 wheel dump
Rockford replied to leafsprings2's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Really nice workaday piece of machinery. Well done. -

Well done, nice custom touches. -
Mack Superliner
Rockford replied to Jürgen M.'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Yep, squares would look gooder. Good looking build mate, you're excelling again. -
Resto Rod Autocar
Rockford replied to Gary Chastain's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Very realistic interior, well done. Could you put a reinforcement behind the bumper whilst it's held at the right angles? I find laminating scratch built stuff helps to maintain angles. -
Western Star 4900 FA plow truck
Rockford replied to BK9300's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
This is an extraordinary build. You have demonstrated tremendous ingenuity in adding details to the build. You don't have to explain yourself, you do it because you want to and no one can criticise you because we're all as daft! -
Resto Rod Autocar
Rockford replied to Gary Chastain's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Great work on the visor and the dash. This is going to look great. I feel for you on the doctor appointments, mine are nonstop, I've can't remember why I'm going half the time! -
That's a nice looking piece of machinery. Well done!

AMT Exterior Post Doubles Vans
Rockford replied to Bren's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
The weathering on this is just brilliant. I love the rubbed circle on the hitch plate, very realistic. On the mudflaps, one method I use is to put a piece of bar in a vice, then put the tape across it and fold it back against itself. It's quite easy to align so there's no sticky surfaces exposed. Then I cut it to size. It quite often takes on a gentle curve of its own which mimics the real thing after a life spent being buffetted by the wind.
