Kenworth Alaskan

[The Brush]

Hi This is a salvaged kit off the auction site, Rebuilt with frame extended & sand boxes added + various other bits, Sprayed metallic green with a satin finish, snow from powered filler & icicles made from clear glue. Built around 2006. Happy Christmas thanks for looking.

Nice build for sure. This truck looks very cold 🥶. I really like those sanders you added and the Headlight guards nice touch. The front Mudflaps looks like there frozen in that position. Thanks for sharing

Good rebuild! That's a no bling truck.

Great idea with the icicles! Makes it even more authentic! Looks great!

I love this build. One of the few examples of “wintering” I’ve seen that is utterly convincing - and as a Canadian with 11 1/2 months of winter I should know😜! Care to share some of your secrets with us? What did you use for the ice/snow?

Thanks for commenting, The snow is polyfiller powder you could also use plaster of Paris or similar. The icicles are clear glue blobs stretched down from wire suspended across blocks when dry snap off & apply to vehicle with clear glue.

Most excellent build and even more bonus points that its rebuilt!   I like that you added the icicles and frosted windows. 

Now we know why the original kit came with the propane bottles!

Looking at this very realistic weathered truck, Graham - I feel more and more cold... and frosty !

This was missing the propane bottles, Probably why it's iced up.

Very realistic detailing - a pleasure to look at, well done!
