Reduced K100

[Rockford]

This is a cross between the Monogram (cab) and AMT (chassis) 1/32 snap kits. 

I've wanted a single sleeper K100 in 1/32 for a long time so had to butcher an Aerodyne and shorten the chassis to suit. See my WIP on the De-Aerodyned K100 for the gory details. 

Proportions are just right to me. Perfect US cab over. Who needs 1/25 when you can spend 15 months making a snapper look passable?

Great looking K100, Steve.  Really well done.

Nice looking rig , clean job !! ??

Beautiful work.   I have looked at 1/32 truck kits but the 1/25 parts seem to get smaller every year.......  Very nice photography also.

[Rockford]

I know what you mean Doug. I spend half of my time crawling around the floor looking for stuff I've dropped. 

[ChrisR]

Nice!!

[PappyD340]

Looks great!

[cifenet]

Sweet looking setup, Steve!

This is something to be proud of, it came out excellent!  I really like the trailer combo look too. 

[Rockford]

Thanks mate. I must admit I do get a buzz from it. Classic K100 look about it, just what I intended.

[Gary Chastain]

Well done, nice build. 

[Noah H.]

That's a beautiful truck, the detail and quality of that build makes it appear like it is in 1/25 rather than 1/32. Great work.

[Dutzie]

Nice little cabover!

[leafsprings]

100% improvement over the box stock, excellent work and very accurate modifications, paint job looks perfect!

[DRIPTROIT 71]

You really have a magic touch on these! Another excellent build!

[Blue Monday]

That looks stunning but boy does it look like it was a LOT of work. Was it your most challenging build to-date or have you put even greater effort into another build?

 

The second trailer of the three looks just right behind this K100 (IMHO).

 

BM. 

[Rockford]

Thanks for the kind words. My work pales into insignificance alongside some of the jobs I see on here. 

It was a challenge but I think either of my two W900s were harder. The Aerodyne because I decided to open the hood and build a Cummins and then Sonny Pruitt's truck because it was such an important truck to me.

Looks perfect Steve! A classic American truck. The cab reduction looks just great. Even when you know it was shortened and "de-aerodyned" you can't see it. Very precise and clean job! 

[Bronzekeg]

mighty fine build!!

[BK9300]

You really do make all your builds way better than what the kits offers up out of the box - excellent work!

[Pete68]

Sorry I missed this one Steve another great build in 1/32 scale and transforming it to a more convincing look. 

[RoninUtah]

Now that's a beautifully clean build, I'd say the patient survived quite well!
