1970 Ford C 600-800

[Biggu]

Well, I’m calling this one done. A MASSIVE thank you goes to Jurgen and Bren , as without them this would have only remained a dream. Also all the little extras both tossed on with design and printed parts. Jurgen’s 26 page assembly sequence was invaluable. Normally I don’t follow the kit instructions to the letter but rather as a guide, and Jurgen’s guide was great for some of the small fine details.  Believe it or not, the tank and all it’s bits turned out to be 126 parts! 
 

This old mould of this kit isn’t really detailed so a few extra items were needed, door handles, window cranks, etc. I also changed the wheels and tires, made a pto handle, a two speed rear end switch, added in cab controls ( designed by Brian ), it’s all plumbed as well, engine, hydraulics, air brakes as well as asphalt distribution plumbing, and other small ancillary items to subtly enhance the build. 
 

This build is as much as Jurgen’s and Bren’s as it is mine. So I dedicate this build to those two good friends.

Thanks guys. This 3d printing thing is absolutely amazing. I learned a lot on how to handle it as it is quite brittle but sure has excellent details. It turned out to be a very unique build. Thanks for checking in on this and having a good look.

Take a bow, my friend, you’ve absolutely outdone yourself! Super realistic down to every detail- I can almost smell the liquid asphalt looking at the pics! 

As someone who also specializes in builds you won’t find on anyone else’s shelf (although mine don’t hold a candle to yours) I especially appreciate how unique this one is. Congratulations!

Thanks Ron , you are too generous. This means a lot coming from you with your unique builds and from a guy who also worked with these trucks, you know exactly what to look for and I am glad I hit most of the correct details.  I am looking forward to your next build.  Thanks for the kind thoughts.

Well you got her done, great job Pal. You made an ugly duck into a beautiful swan.
