Here are some pics of my other logging trucks. All the logging equipment on the Western Star is home cast by me, including the drivers and trailer wheels.

Thanks guys:

These are the first logging trucks I've built after a twenty year hiatus from the hobby. These are the only ones I've completed so far with more in the future. I have about 12 other trucks I've finished including a Kenworth tractor drawn ariel ladder truck from the Seattle Fire Department circa 1970.

Great looking trucks! Reminds me of when I lived in Humboldt Co. CA in the late seventies!

Small world, I lived in Arcata and was the executive Chef at the Eureka Inn 1978-1980!

Wow, no kidding, small world! The Eureka Inn has been closed now for almost three years or better.

Bill,

Your work really is exceptional. I'm with Tim, my favourite is the Kenworth and the Western Star. Is the Kenworth the Revell kit. I have not built a logging truck yet, but this gives me lots of ideas. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Best Wishes

Hi Dave:

You're right, it is the Revell/Germany kit. I added my own cast rear wheels to it and extended the frame 5 scale feet.

Cheers:

Bill
