White Line Fever "Blue Mule" Ford WT-9000

[spencer1984]

Finally got the Blue Mule wrapped up after way too long on the bench. AMT Ford LNT-8000 frame, Aussie Resin Models cab, and everything else kitbashed or scratch built. I used the ModelTruckin decals, which were excellent quality but nowhere near sized or shaped to fit this particular cab. Lots of cutting, splicing, Micro Sol, and custom-mixed paint to get it looking as it does. I still whiffed on a few of the details - not helped by having multiple trucks used for filming and even more replicas built since it came out - but overall I'm satisfied with the results. A full writeup on what I did is available here, and as always any comments/criticisms are welcome!
