1964 Kenworth K100 with 1956 Great Dane trailer

[KJ790]

I have finally finished this combo. The truck is an AMT K123 kit that has been heavily modified to be backdated to a 1964 model. The trailer is almost entirely scratch built.

That looks awesome, KJ.  Very well done.

Not right posting real trucks and saying they are models. ? Outstanding build!!

Good job! The first truck I drove looked very similar. 

[Warren D]

Another great build!  Love the attention to details.

[Doug 1061]

Superb job all around there.   Pics 4 and 5 done in grayscale would really put it back in time.

Looks amazing! The weathering and picture angles makes it look real. Very cool!

KJ, you continue to amaze me - perfect to the very last detail  (even my wife found it awesome)!

Thanks! You gave me an idea to make these look like old photographs that have been scanned into a computer.

Cool.  It really looks the part there.  Well done.

very nice builds.

The sign of a great model, undetectable from 1:1. This one passes the test!  Great  subject matter and great fabrication work!

Awesome!

Those sepia photos look great.

[Bills72sj]

Very impressive realism. The 3rd pic in black and white would fool most people.

Every time you finish a build I end up saying that it is my favorite one yet. This one is no exception. You are not only the KW king, but you are the trailer king as well. You have a talent for capturing the vintage look. I always enjoy your builds and I am looking forward to seeing your next project! Excellent build!

Impressive work, KJ! I really like the combo! Nice paint work and weathering - too, especially on a freezer. Open windows add nice touch!

I would only slightly shade the grill and change trailer gates locker rods.

By the way: oval marker light on trailer are Czech Truck Model sets too? How much sets of oval lights have you used?

[Jim Whalen]

Nice build that really captures the time period it has been built to represent.

That truck and trailer go together better than PB and J. Beautiful work.
