Thanks, Ken.

Thanks, guys.

Looks awesome.

It's done! I think this is a record for me. Here is the Under Glass thread:

Here is Rockwell Lime Co. of Manitowoc, WI, brand new 1926 Mack AC dump truck ready for delivery. The build thread is here:

I think it came out just fine. Well done.

Yes, I believe that all of that is AMT. The conventional is the "Movin On" W925, but any on the AMT W925 instructions should do. The COE is the AMT Kenworth K123, the van is the AMT Exterior Port Van, and the other trailer is the AMT Livestock trailer. Your best chance for instructions is here: https://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/ Check under Model Kits Archives under AMT, AMT/Ertl, & AMT/Matchbox.

That really looks fantastic.

Looking really nice.

Charlie, no I do not have any weathering powders. I might have to invest in some of those. Thanks, Andy. Did the wood with craft paint. Wasn't too hard. These kits show up at model shows every so often. I suppose one can only hope the Revell USA reissues them again. I'd like to get the flatbed/stake truck & back date it to 1916.

Great looking Paystar.

Pretty cool rig. Looks like it could use a good restoration.

Pretty neat!

The V175 V8 was available in the LN7000, the LN700 had the 361 HD V8. It's your model, so you can do whatever you like (that's sort of the beauty of modeling), but I just thought you'd like to know.

Looks really nice. Well done. Not sure a gasoline powered truck would have a big exhaust stack like that, though.

That's a awful lot of coal dust!

Those are pretty cool. What scale are they?

Thanks to the input, Charlie. I did for get to scuff up the tires, but it shouldn't be too difficult. I'm warming up to a black toolbox. What would be the easiest way to cover this thing in coal dust?

Thanks.

Thanks, guys.

Got some more work done on the Mack last night. The cab, fenders, radiator, & hood are all mounted to the frame. The interior is complete. The toolbox sitting on the step is just placed there. I want to use it, but I'm not sure if I want to paint it body color, or something a little different to break up all the green. Maybe black or brown. Not sure. Windshield is just "posed" for the photo, as there is a huge gouge in the glass that Monogram provided. I need to find some flat clear plastic that I can cut to replace the Monogram piece.

Got the cab & fenders glued on, and the dash gauges (all 2 of them) painted.

Should be an interesting project. What's your plan for the long hood?

Thanks. Actually, although I like the color, I was hoping that it would have been a little darker, and more like the box art.

Thanks.
