Hi Charles, Let me say that I am just assembling my motor, you are creating a great looking engine!!!! Your detailing of the cab is outstanding sir. Those vents are killer! Randy

Starting to add the decals... Next up is power steering .... That is all for now, Thanks for looking in. Randy

I am using some small springs to simulate all the corrugated sheathing that covers all the wires.... And I discovered that I should have done this part first before the compressor and fuel lines... next up is the starter, added small nuts and bolts so i could wire it up.... more pics to follow.....

Thanks Bill, yes , this is just a touch bigger than another of my projects... Thank you Trevor! Victor, Can't wait to see what you do with your motors after seeing the cat motor detailing on your RV build!!! Appreciate the comment Gary. Hey John, yeah, new part of the forum for me! Thank you Jeff! Thanks "Rockford" !! Steve H. I'm with you:) Thank you Ricky Brian, Thank you! If I may ask, do you remember what tires you used. These ones I have from KFS are the "weighted " style and while they are nice I would like to have more options???? Lewis, thank you ! Brian, on the crimped connectors, I use a slice of thin walled nickel silver tubing then slide it into the printed nut on the part. Sometimes using a nut from RB Motion.. Next up on the motor is adding some of the wiring harness for the ECM system.... more pics following...

Hi Victor, You Sir, are one talented builder!! Love all the detail you put into that motor. Those fluid tanks you cast look great. The RV body is wonderful! Randy

Mock up with tank... Starting the motor. A 3d printed kit designed and printed by Claudio de Bellis. It is beautifully detailed and even includes decals for all the labels and service tags. You do have to be prepared for alot of this..... but it is not too bad:) lots of this...

I am going to be doing a heavy duty single axle 4 x 4 with a 2500(???) gallon tank. Started to gather goodies for this. KFS for the driven front axle , assorted valves and the floater tires and rims. CTM for rear axle, hubs and assorted goodies. Engine will come from the new release GPModels Detroit Diesel series 60 12.7 I will solder up a frame. The tank will be a chopped up water bottle. more to follow.. the engine will wind up somewhere between these two....
