That looks awesome! Well done.

Fantastic job so far. Very well detailed.

Nice start on your short nose Diamond-REO.

Interesting KW, but it's actual a W923 as it has a spring rear suspension. Have you looked intro Masterbox figures: http://mbltd.info/figures/1-24-scale.html They make some 1/24 scale drivers.

The Kenworth 900 Series (narrow nose) debut in 1956, and was produced through 1962. In 1962, Kenworth introduced the W900 (wide nose) which as Casey mentioned continues production with various changes to today. For reference, here are what the various kits build up to: AMT Kenworth W923/W925 - 1969-1971 (W923 spring rear suspension / W925 tandem torsion bar rear suspension) Revell USA (Monogram) W900 AeroDyne- 1976-1982 (AeroDyne sleeper debuted in 1976) Revell of Germany W900 - 1972-1982 Gary Wallace of GW Trucks does make a W900B resin conversion kit. One of the changes from the W900 kits & the W900B is the exhaust is run on top of the frame instead of below it. When you look at old pictures, Kenworth had a 900-series & a 500-series conventional that looked virtually identical. I'm not sure what the difference is: diesel vs. gasoline maybe? Not sure. To make matters more confusing, Kenworth called their COE at this time (predecessor to the K100) a 500-series. No idea why.

Wow! Dave. That thing is a monster. Great progress.

Thanks, guys. I'll take a look.

I am planning on building the 1/24 Italeri DAF XF105 Super Space Cab here shortly, and the plan is for a yellow cab with a black frame. Why? Well, yellow seems to be DAF's color of choice, and I have a hell of a time painting red & yellow so i figured I'd torture myself. I am not really familiar with European trucks or European transportation companies, so I am hoping that some of our European members might be able to help me out. Are there any transportation companies in Europe that use yellow DAF XF105 tractors? I don't have any European company decals except for Monjean Transporte out of Düren, Germany (but those are slated for the IVECO Stralis), and as far as I know, DAFs are not used here in the US. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Great looking PayHauler.

Looks great, Tom. Very well done.

Amazing models, Graham. Lots of detials.

Thanks, Rob. I have the Meng FT-17 in the stash. No idea when I'm going to build it, but I have it!

Looking awesome. I like the green fog lights in the bumper. Nice touch.

That looks awesome.

Great looking dioramas. I like them. The FT-17, is that the Meng kit?

Looking great.

Nice looking cable car.

Glad you found what you were looking for. Yes, Muleskinner was killed in a house fire several years ago. Very sad.

Quite nice.

Nice job on a tough kit. Well done.

You should be able to find it here: https://thetimbershop.proboards.com/ The Forum is basically defunct, but there is still some good information there.

Nice looking Payhauler. Well done.

Excellent job on the Peterbilt. Vey well done.

Great scratch building, Jeff. Way above my skill level.

Looks really nice, JT. I like your set-up. Just a small note on your chock blocks: you should have them on both front tires, but not touching the tires. In reality, the outriggers will lift the weight off the rear tires. Just a little help.
