I got some of the major components underneath. I'll start detailing when I get a chance.

Tom, that is really cool!!

[Repstock]

I have to wait for parts for my White 7000 project, so I pulled this back out and finished the underside.

Fantastic work all around Tom ! The chassis looks amazing with all that plumbing under there.?

[OldNYJim]

This is absolutely outstanding work - and the weathering you did on the underside is first class.  THANK YOU for sharing!

This is the higher-end of insanity, really digging all the scratch building and realistic chassis weathering.

[vincen47]

Simply amazing work. I really like this project. Both the in subject matter, and the superior quality of the build.

[Bainford]

Oh goody! I've been waiting for this build to bubble back up to the surface. I an really enjoying the work here.

[hct728(Bob)]

Never see one upside down, amazing how you caught every detail and then weathered them all so realistically!

[Bugatti Fan]

A very interesting model build.

[Repstock]

It's getting warm again, so time to get back to this. Got some external painting done. Color is Tamiya Champagne. I think the "W" looks off, but it's correct for the period. Still bugs me a little, though.

Fantastic chassis detail!

[Street Rod]

I just found this thread and all I can say is WOW! Great work on all the scratch building, paint looks great, too! Keep up the great work!

[hct728(Bob)]

My that is a big one! Poor little chassis and wheels, hope its got a V10 in it! Love how neatly it's striped with all the vents and such replicated, very thorough work

[Bainford]

Really glad to see this one back on the bench. I've been keeping an eye out for it. The paint is bringing it to life. The W looks good. 

[espo]

Nice to see this one back on the work bench. 

[redneckrigger]

That is a superb build so far. You have it perfectly replicated. We have a Thor 29G class A of very similar construction. It looks like you have not missed a single item! 

[slusher]

Looking forward to you doing some more excellent work!

My parents had a 24 foot Winnebago in the '70's, powered by a Dodge 318 with a Torqueflite transmission. That thing could pass everything but a gas station, average gas mileage was 7 MPG, 8 with a tailwind or going downhill!

 

Another outstanding scratch built masterpiece Tom!
