Thanks Tom. I enjoyed it too. I like scratch building things, and there was a lot of that on this one.

Thanks Mario. The wall is just craft paper from Michaels.

Thanks Bob! I don’t have the beadlocks on mine, but I think they add a finishing touch.

Great looking build. The paint finish and colors look great. I like the BFG KM2 tires. The interior looks nice also. 

[NOBLNG]

Thanks David. The tires are Cheetah Max Tracks from Scenes Unlimited. They look very close to the KM2s.

That looks really good. Who makes that one?

If you mean the tire, It’s Scenes Unlimited. If you mean the truck….the cab is a resin casting of a modified die cast piece. Check out my build thread in the link for more info.

Wow! That looked like it was really involved. the finished product came out really nice. Like the colors you chose. My dad had one of these we used to plow the yard (small construction company) years ago. Had that flathead 4 with the pto setup. my cousin ad I took it out in the woods one night and were running with the trucks with huge lift kits and tires. They were blown away that we were keeping up with them with those skinny stock tires. ?

Very nice!

Thanks Mike! Well, nobody makes a kit and I just had to re-create mine. Luckily the die cast was close enough to start with.

I enjoyed watching this one come together!! Excellent scratch building and casting!! Top notch detail work! You really captured the real thing!! I like both the 1:1 and the replica! Both are something to be proud of!

Thanks Brian. I appreciate your interest. I actually enjoy scratch building things, and the casting was a great learning experience.
