You're in. Make sure to start a thread in the workbench section on or before Feb. 1.

I have not touched a model in over a year. A friend sent me this last week and so I came on to see what was going on in the truck section and found this build thread. Is it too late for me to join in? The bare frame rails and fuel tanks appear to be the only thing started.

Just re-re-read the rules. Frame and tanks are now in pieces.

Can I add this trailer to my build? Not sure how it’s going to look, but, it’s gonna be hooked to the truck regardless, lol.

Got you covered.

I've done community builds but never a contest. I will jump in with this one I never considered my work to be of "contest quality"

. It's an early-issue International Transtar 2 kit with the air ride rear suspension. It's an ebay built-up I bought years ago.

Every tractor needs a trailer. I buy these transporters to build as moving vans, and that's what this one will be.

I truly think the shorter time frame may help with completions this go round. So far, I think I’m 2 for 3 in finishing on time ( I think......), so going to try to stay focused this time .....

I plan to build  a LCF Frieghtliner tank truck and trailer , A Western super tank. My starting place is this repurposed 63 inch freightliner cabover. The remainder of the parts will be fabricated and come from various kits.

I’m pleasantly surprised by the amount of Mack trucks in this build off. I’m loving the  work I’m seeing so far.
