Another one to add to the line up, the HX utilizes the same Cab & chassis as the paystar. The hood would be the point of interest. With the Navistar licensing the lineup for new models available would be a lot wider with modern trucks

New HX boys, we just got 4 of them in stock.

Honestly, just hit any truck dealership and they will have the paint in stock. for the genuine CAT yellow paint its only about $12 a can (Canadian) and it has the really good fan style nozzle on them so it doesn't spray to heavy.

This is an amazing topic, I am defiantly following this one very close as I am a Parts Manager at an International/Navistar dealer, and I know with the kits that are already available out now, my customers are going crazy! I could have a second fulltime job just building kits for my customers who want a scale model of the truck that they have purchased and/or are currently running. Now one good thing that has been brought up here which could work in Moebius's advantage is in fact that shared components are the Navistar lineup. For example, I do believe that there is already a Prostar/Lonestar conversion cab out there, well the Prostar, Lonstar, Transtar ,Durastar ,& even Terrastar all use the same cab, so the key tooling would be focussed into Hoods, & bumpers. You could pretty much use the existing chassis with minor changes for steps & battery boxes. as far as powertrain? Well, the N13 (new & improved MAXX13) would probably take a level of tooling but is a stock engine available in all but Durastar & Terrastar. for those you could be looking at probably a small 6.7 Cummins which I don't know if there is anything in the market available for that. (also the Terrastar is no longer being made so I wouldn't even worry about it). Also another great line that uses similar cabs is the Paystar and 9900. again, same cab but work with the cab & bumper. Chassis can stay the same for both units and im sure it would be a hue bonus for those guys who love to build dump trucks, this would defiantly give them a modern tractor to work with (Paystar). if there is truly something that would come down the line for a modern Cummins ISX, that would cover pretty much off of these trucks and well, as previous stated in other posts I'm sure there would be guys dropping the ISX in any truck they could shoehorn it into lol. Another area of interest that I'm sure guys would go crazy for would be a good modern Dump box. converting any truck into a dump truck wouldn't take all that much and im sure talking with companies like Cobra, or Custom trailers, I'm sure licensing through them would cost an arm & a leg, and guys could go crazy with those either polished or body colour matched. Heck, even building a Pup trailer, maybe shortening the dump box and build a small cassis to lay it on.

Anytime at all, I am actually a parts manager at an international dealer so I can get you all the detail photos you need. Even 1:1 pics if needed

I hope this helps out a bit for ya

Does anyone currently have an ISX or even an old signature 600 in resin?

Wow that is amazing! My skill with Lego is like almost everyone's skill with an etch a sketch we all knew how to draw the stairs and thats about it! None the less that is an amazing job. How many pieces roughly?

ahhh,ummm, errr (scramble) wait. boo ya! lol........Wait, what have I got myself into.....

Christian! It is great to finally see you on this page! I have been following your work for quite some time on the other main page that you post on but it has bcome very difficult with the translation for me (as I am assuming it is for you) but none the less it is great to see your work here on this page! I hope it alright to post the other page on here but you have to see this guys work! http://plastimodelkits.keuf.net/

Ok ok, you can have it. I'll just have fun with this one. If I can master the color skill of course! lol

I already have the image of my Coronado

^^ same here, what other goodies does he have that is not posted? :-D

Hi, I'd like a set of the biggest white wall tires you have.

So I went onto this website and checked to see how much to ship up here to ontario canada, and on the option list it says "canada orders $30-$49.99 via usps international priority mail $12.95 and when I go to cash out it is only $12.95 shipping. Now am I gonna receive any suprise shipping amounts when \i see this on my credit card or when it gets to my door they are asking for another like $40 in duty fee or anything like that?

http://plastimodelkits.keuf.net/t2311-freightliner-argosy-cabover-de-1998 When in doubt, make one!

Awesome, so by the sounds of it the boiling water trick seems to be The way to do it. Thank you for the link!

Hey all, I was just wondering if anyone would happen to have any sort of easy trick on how to bend/curve styrene plastic? I bought some and adding the lower peices to a 359 peterbilt cab/bunk and I have made a few attepts at curving it and well, has went bad in a hurry. it will either bend a bit, or go all limp and warped. I cant seem to find a way for it to smoothly curve/ bend. any suggestions? Thanks James

Great job so far on the paint scheme, and you attention to detail is amazing. I always have to give everyone who builds these trucks overseas a little extra credit because of the fact that with most of us on the board here from Canada/US we really dont have far to go to see a 1:1 referance on most builds or at least something close, where over there in the Netherlands for example I dont think it too common to see seeing a 379 peterbilt running up and down the road there, or a western star etc. So they have to work a little bit harder and get a little more creative, and for that I give you that extra bit of well deserved credit. Great build so far and I cant wait to see the final product! James

I have been following this website for a while, Christian is an amazing builder. There are a few builds where he actually has a large 4x8 sheet of flat stock in his garage that he cuts out sections and actually fabriates full cab and sleepers! I would put this guy as like the model guru lol.

Something like this would be cool

first off, "nice rack"... I'm sorry I had to say it and I am shocked that I am the first to. The truck is looking really cool so far and as for a color selection? I think its a matter of what direction you would like to go with the truck? If you are looking on putting alot more chrome on it, maybe a darker color like a black or dark blue something that will look sharp but also make the chrome pop! But if you are looking for more of the stock application maybe a bright color like a yellow? Or even stick with a nice suttle color like a silver or grey. None the less this kit looks absolutly amazing to build and seeing your progress is making me wanna go and get one.

Thank you for the suspension tip, once I see how you have completed it, I'm thinkin its not gonna be so tough afterall. Again love the progession of the truck and I will be watching this post closly.

Thats some nice work there, now all you need is a nice load to fill that flatbed!
