Nice project. Is that engine an auslowe one? Ben

Good first attempt. Keep at it is the best advice. I learn something from every build I do. Look at the forum for advice on your future builds. Magazines are worth a look. Car guys do some cool stuff that can be applied to trucks such as bare metal foil, airbrushing and panel lines. Maybe get a couple of 1/32 trucks to practice on as well. Cheers Ben

Hi mate. Auslowe does a cummins signature 600. Google auslowe and you can fond the contact info. I think the prostar come with a cummins isx. The isx and signature 600 look similar from pics I've seen on the web. Might be worth a look. Look forward to seeing more of this truck. Cheers Ben

That is awesome. I also hope you put this on youtube. Ben

Nice progress and bodywork. Looking forward to more. Ben

I'm sure everyone agrees you're welcome. Congratulations on the competition. Ben

Thank you for this. Ben

Very nice. Ben

Any idea what they have planned? Mack, Kenworth etc. Ben

I'm surprised about the prostar. We don't have Prostars in Australia so I'm going of pictures. Ben

Very nice. Ben

Have faith people. In the latest issue of truck model world magazine there is talk of Drake trailers and Kenworth Australia looking at model companies to produce model kits. They have collaborated already to produce 1/50 scale diecast and they were received well. I reckon it wil happen. Ben

That's really cool. It's great building for other people. Ben

Nice work. Ben

I'm glad you finished it. Great job on it. I hope you do another truck. Ben

Very nice Mack. Ben

Glad you're doing the truck. The truck looks to be a monogram/revell w900 kenworth. Cheers Ben

Hi Erik. Are you doing the truck as well? I guess you are from the first pic, based on the monogram/revell w900 snap kit. Ben

That's a cool idea. Ben

At the end of the day, we are on the way to great changes in cars and trucks. Hybrid power trains will be common in cars very soon. Aerodynamics is the other area where things are going to get more headway. Trucks will follow that trend as well. My wife and I are looking to replace her car in the next 6 months. The car we are looking at is 19% more fuel efficient than the series before it. That's such good gain in efficiency over 1 model cycle. The 19% efficiency was made up with better aerodynamics, cvt auto and direct injection. Ben

What the future will be I guess. Ben

Got weather being my problem too. All good. Ben

Very cool project. Brought back a lot of great memories. I had the purple truck when I was a kid, it was 1/24 scale, my brothers had the green bike and the camaro that you're doing here. Cant remember other vehicles we had. Mum got it for me for Christmas, I think I was 8 years old. They were the coolest toys at the time. Cheers Ben

You could use revell lonestar instructions for the build. You can download them from revell. Ben
