Peterbilt 352 1:25 AMT
BigBad replied to Pavel A.'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
This is going to look great! Very nice work Pavel! -
Love it! Very nice with color! I can see it with all the trim, it'll be a really good looking W900L! Keep it up!
-
That is rather unusual (for me anyway) That's the first time I've seen stacks in front of the sleeper cab on these trucks. Looks good!

CAT in an Italeri Ford LTL
BigBad replied to Aaronw's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Like Nike says: Just do it! That is what makes this hobby fun, you can do whatever you want. Just take the time to look at pictures from the net as reference. If you want to put some plumbing under the hood to detail that engine even more, any chance the Cat might seem a bit small will be mostly hidden. As far as the fit, like Kostas said, it'll probably fit better than the kit Cummins. By the way I had plans for my own LTL kit, I want to install a Detroit 8V92T, so I'll be doing some measurments as well. Enjoy! -
I love it! You have it just right. If I may make a suggestion, the vertcal split on the side window on the top of the sleeper cab on newer models and also the one you are building is not there, looking at the picture of the white and blue truck I posted, it doesn't have it. But the work you are putting on this is really good, I like the mudflaps, the lower cab extensions look correct and that hood is just massive, it really looks like a W900L! Keep going at it! Have you decided on colors yet?
-
This is looking pretty good! Nice job on that hood. I've been looking at doing something like this for a while. Now I think I know where to start and what to use! Good job! I'm going to follow this closely. Here is some inspiration, just to keep you on track...

That is good news. building the the VN670 was enjoyable enough, I'll have a crack at the 780 for sure!

That C Ford looks great! The Cyclone too! -
Lonestar Wrecker took 3rd Place Page 2
BigBad replied to kilrathy10's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I like the compact tuff truck look JT, the Lonestar looks great with that tow body, didn't think this tow body could be made to look good. But in this case, it looks just right! Love the classic chrome and black. Nice job! -
Meng D9 Bulldozer in 1/24
BigBad replied to Bowtienutz's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Build it and they'll come. Yeah, like you, I've read the Moebius Prostar not selling as well as Moebius thought. It'll take longer to pay off. Just make kits that will sell quicker (W900L maybe??) to compensate! Maybe make a T800 and a T660 spinoffs off of similar molds? A nice modern tanker, B-train flatbed and a lowboy? If nobody tries anything anymore, where are we going to be before long? So yeah, lets have a late model earth mover please. -
Let's see your long wheel base trucks
BigBad replied to thom hoos's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I'd like the 1:1 version taking a turn on a tight city street corner... Entertainment for bystanders at least for a couple minutes. -
Can I use a 1/25 trailer on a 1/24 truck
BigBad replied to keone2013's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
NO, NO, NO!!! You cannot! Kidding! If you stand right over the rig, you might see a little but noticeable difference in width (depending on how fussy you are of course). But if you just move away slightly, it won't matter much. -
Amt truck reissues I'd like to see
BigBad replied to Bennyg's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I heard from a friend of a friend that some of the molds for the IH Transtar II and the S-series were left sitting outside the factory and badly damaged when they were sent to China. So we might never hear of these ones again. That would be sad indeed. -
Hottest news from CTM (PE parts)!
BigBad replied to Pavel A.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Nice to know. Good to know they have a website too. -
That is one BIG rig! Nice!

The Lot Lizard
BigBad replied to ScaleModelAddict's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Looks like a cross between Pissed-Off Pete and Jessy James' Diesel trike! Looks awesome man, I like the whitewalls and all the freakin' details! By the way, I noticed you have Quebec plates in that cab... Nice. -
KW COE Aero / BJ McKay rig
BigBad replied to Old Buckaroo's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
JT, you like to lenghten frames because you always have tons of neat equipment to put on your rigs! That's why! And Sean, you're in for a fun ride, everything's bigger and easier to handle than on 1:24 & 1:25 cars. I'm not knocking them 'cause some of them are just like little jewels. But trucks are fun! Good thing you shortened the frame, cabovers don't all look great with a mile long frame, especially if it's a fleet unit. Besides, a long frame partly defeats the purpose of a cabover tractor anyway. -
V8 Cabover #2 FLA 104
BigBad replied to purepmd's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Bound for greatness! Impressive start. I like everything on this one, that front bumper is looking really good... Definitely one build to follow! You sanded the whole cab smooth, most likely the best way to go with this kit.- 19 replies

Nice! I like the black fuel tanks and headlight pods. Nice rig you have there! -
1/32 Peterbilt 352 cabover
BigBad replied to RobDD's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
That is good inspiration for a 1:25 double bunk... Nice model and color Rob! Those 352's look better with a larger cab. (Me thinks...) -
Nice pallets! This is a great way to make them! One cut and they're done, that's the way,uh-huh, uh-huh, I like it!
