    Nice job, Rick. I like the red & silver.
  2. Jim B
    Looks really nice as a daycab. Well done.

    Great job on the Mack, Justin. Well done. Looks like it's ready for delivery.

    Ok, so it's not exactly a truck reference site, but this is a good mode reference. This article might help you some:http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/model_magazine_articles/car_modeller/cm03_sept_1990_truc/

    Good job on a tough little build.

    Definitely have to check those out! I have a couple of 1/32 trucks that are in need of new wheels & tires. Now if I could just find a set of Mack spokes.

    Kind of surprised JT hasn't chimed in on this one. He's our orange expert!

    That Pete interior looks so realistic.
  9. Jim B
    Don't see too many of those anymore.

    Well done on the K100. I like the weathering.
  11. Jim B
    Very well done.
  12. Jim B
    Great weathering.
  13. Jim B
    That's impressive!

    Most of the Ford AeroMax tractors that I've seen have been Plain-Jane fleet trucks. I don't think I've seen one customized, but that doesn't mean that they don't exist. I know the US Army uses a very nice black one to haul their display trailer around.

    Fantastic job, Dave. Very well done. Looks like it's been on the oilfields for a while.

    I like the grey/black/silver combination on the Winslow Stripes. Very cool.

    Did you try Fireball Modelworks: http://www.fireballmodels.info/? Joe Osborn is a member here.

    Thanks, Dennis. Joe, the part I used for the elbows was E-6. http://plastruct.com/Pages/OnlineProductDetail.lasso?-op='eq'&CCode=E-6 Their site can be kind of confusing. I found it easier to search for the tubing size, then go find the elbows I needed.

    That's sweet! I remember seeing something like that on Ice Road Truckers. Season 2, I think.

    A Mack AC mixer would be cool. What mixer would you use? As far as I know there are no 1920s era mixers on the market.

    When I swapped out the Caterpillar 3406 for a Cummins NTC350 Big Cam III (well, Big Cam-ish, anyway) I used aluminum tubing for the straight sections. The couplers to the air cleaners are from the kit, and the 90deg elbows are scratchbuilt from Plastruct elbows and strip stock for the ribs. Here are the elbows before paint: With this swap, I got lucky & the kit exhaust part fit with just a little tweeking.

    This should be cool! I like the spokes. Are you putting floats on the front?
  23. Jim B
    Sounds interesting, and I'll definately be watching you progress. I have a DM609 mixer planned, but there is no way I'll be able to build it in a month. Maybe a year, but not a month.

    Your big-bunk Pete looks great, too. Looks like it has stearable wheels. Tell us a little bit about these builds.
  25. Jim B
    Well done!
