    Looks great! Spot on.

    Looking nice, Dan. Is there really that much gap between the tire & the fender?
  3. Jim B
    Coming along nicely.
  4. Jim B
    Really nice looking interior.
  5. Jim B
    Not all that fancy! That looks so realistic. What did you use for the seats?

    Like Aaron, I mostly built aircraft or ships as a kid. I do remember requesting the AutoWorld catalog from an add i saw in Boy's Life back in 1984 (I was 15 or 16). In that catalog was an article on detailing the Movin' On Kenworth. Well, I purchased the AMT Movin' On Kenworth, Building Model Trucks by Phil Jensen, and Collecting & Building Model Trucks by Lou Kroack from AutoWorld. When the kit came, I promptly built it & brush painted the cab & hood black. I had never seen Movin' On but I had seen Smokey & the Bandit, so that's what i was going to build. Let's just say that my imagination didn't exactly measure up to my building skills (still hasn't actually). It was a disaster, but I loved it! Bought another AMT Kenworth W925 (Watkins if i remember correctly) & a AMT Kenworth K100 AeroDyne. I was hooked. The K100 came out much better.

    Nice color combination.

    Now that would be a good idea. I don't think they'll do it, but it's a good idea.

    Fantastic looking engine!

    Great looking Japanese Freightliner, Sean. Well done.
  11. Jim B
    Looks so much better with the decals. I'm glad they worked out for you.
  12. Jim B
    Very nice looking combination.
  13. Jim B
    I thought it looked familiar.

    Looking really nice, Sean. Is there a rain cap on your exhaust? Very 1970s.
  15. Jim B
    Well, that's different! Is that a Diamond-REO badge on the hood? Sure looks like one.

    Dennis, I don't know where that particular bridge is in Massachusetts, but I know the railroad bridge over Route 30 in Westborough, MA, has been hit several times. Here in Syracuse, NY, we had a double-deck Megabus hit a railroad bridge (do you see a theme here? ) that crosses Onongaga Lake Parkway. Because it's a parkway, he wasn't supposed to be on it anyway. Commercial vehicles are prohibited from parkways in New York. Five people were killed.

    Time will tell.

    Very nice job. Now you only need a couple more to make a real Road Train. Oh, and a big shelf!
  19. Jim B
    Most impressive. Any ideas on team yet?
  20. Jim B
    Very nice looking White-Western Star. Very well done.
  21. Jim B
    Thanks, Aaron. It does look like a mechanical lift mechanism on the 1:1 instead of a hydraulic lift. Might have to see if I can make something like that for the model.
  22. Jim B
    Nicely done.
  23. Jim B
    That dashboard in beautiful! Very well done. I'm interested in your technique as well.
  24. Jim B
    Very nice restoration. It looks great.
  25. Jim B
    Never saw the movie, but that's an awesome build.
