379 Peterbilt day cab "custom" with Spider amusement ride

[Lemcoplasticworks]

Old build from 2018. I decided to throw two of my favorite things to see out on the road. custom semi's and racked carnival rides. 

The 379 was the long hauler kit with the 60" sleeper. I turned it into a day cab. Has wheels from the FLD Freightliner kit on lower profile tires to get the truck closer to the ground. It's just barely laying on the fuel tanks. For the most part the truck is pretty simple with very little aftermarket parts. The paint is Dupli color's with water transfer tattoos incorporated into the day grey. 

The racked Spider ride is a mix of my work and Alan's Amusement Rides from Canada. He scratch built all of the rides parts and racks. I built the control stand, box with tools and added the gates as well as built the trailer to match this particular setup. It's not the most detailed in terms of what you would see in real life but doing something along these lines was something I had been wanting to do for several years and Alan was an extremely big help in getting me up to that goal.

Thank you! They add a great detail to paint. These were from a big arm sleeve so slightly huge on the truck but overall didn't come out bad either I think.
