Hey guys, been looking at all the amazing rigs on here and decided to show you all my two 'babies'. The first one is Revell's Kenworth T900. The big tanks and spider rims should be the giveaway. If not them, the bull at sure is. I built this truck straight outta the box as I'm only fifteen and am not competent enough to seriously mod my trucks. I did, however, dabble in the art of scratch building, and constructed the Ariel on the bulbar. I also weathered as best I could, which you may see on the fifth wheel and mudflaps. And the oil covered Cat under the hood recently had a major oil leak, and the fan sprayed the engine in oil. It was fixed, but the engine was not cleaned. Hence the black marks all over the engine and inside the bonnet. I also don't have a decal sheet for it, so it is just the plain sand colour. Thanks for looking, and keep up the awesome work guys!

Nice looking build.  Well done.  

I might have a set of the decals for this kit.  PM me if you're interested.

Very nice builds! I began building semi trucks before I was a teenager, but stopped building after I started driving. I'm glad I was able to return (twice now). You have some real skill, so even if you get away from model building for a few years, hang on to some of the builds you are building now, I wish that I would have kept mine.

bannockburn is in Australia, about an hour out of Melbourne. Closer to Geelong really.

Daniel, very nice work, I especially like your oil blown Cat and the greased fifth wheel. Keep at it and like the friends above have said, feel free to ask for help/advise.
