Nice! I like the colors. Good clean build. Nice job on the trailer, too.

Trying to keep busy & build down the stash. That's just an excuse to add more to it! Got to make room for the ProStar & White Western Star. And anything else they reissue. I think I got the 1970s look, too.

Thanks, guys.

So here is my latest creation: a 1976 Chevrolet Titan/90. The idea was for a begining owner/operator type of tractor so it's pretty plain. I wanted to do a Michigan-style tractor, but the pin-stripes kept self-destructing. Oh, well, so now it's from Iowa! The build is basicly box-stock with a few additions (like all of my others). The DC Trucking logos & ICC numbers are from the AMT International Transtar 4300; while the fuel tags, vent decorations, & "37" flags are from the Titan kit. I was just going to use the wipers from the kit, but they are too horrible for words, so I replaced them with KFS wipers. One stack is from the Titan kit, and the other one is from the GMC Astro/95 kit. They are the "single stack option" stacks painted with Dupli-Color Bumper Chrome and aliminum tube tops. The Chevrolet "Bowtie" flap logos are from Jbot. I'm not a big fan of the horns in the kit, so I replace them with horns from one the Revell USA snap kits (some of the better kit horns in my opinion). The frame deck plating is from the parts box (I think Tim Ahlborn sent it to me about three years ago). Anyway, that's the build. I'm going to try and get some outside shots during the week if the weather cooperates. The inspiration:

I like the concept. Very unique. Still need to fix those rear tires on the tractor, though.

Nice trailers. Where did you get the Crackerbox? Did you scratch build that, too?

Fantastic job!

Thanks, Kurt. I'll be in touch.

Those are great. Thanks. Any frame pics? I'm looking for warning label locations.

That's a big cab. Looks good.

I'm going to be building it a s a sleeper cab, but daycab will work. The interiors of the cabs should be same.

Does anyone out there have any detail pics of a mid-1980s Freightliner FLC? Particularly the interior & frame. Planning my next build, and I'm just looking for reference photos. Thanks,

No problem. Now back to your regularly scheduled W900.

Phil, check with Evan over at Melbourne Model Truck Accessories. He has lots of W925 stuff in resin. http://www.freewebs.com/mmtaer/truckparts.htm

BJ's new truck after he trades in the K100. I like it.

You'd need another deck, and it'd have to be purple for the Night Bus. Cool idea, though. Wonder how to make the chandelier?

Those are really nice. I really like the "Smokey & the Bandit" KW. David, don't hold your breath on the AMT Kenworth W925 (or variants) being reissued. The W925 molds were perminately altered to make the AMT Kenworth T600.

Looks like the same cab, too. And I think the MaxxForce15 is a 15L engine.

Looks like the same cab/sleeper as the LoneStar, so it's all one unit. I'm sure some "enterprising resin caster" will have a daycab for it shortly after it's released.

Good save. I really like the look of the ProStar. Is it just me, or does that frame look kind of short?

The norther lower? Is that a Yooper thing?

White is a good fleet look.

Nice looking Bison.

Wow! Those are huge!

No problem. 15m3 is about 20yd3 This is a really helpfull link. I use it all the time to convert feet to meeters at work. http://www.onlineunitconversion.com/
