Big “R” Roadboss 2

[DRIPTROIT 71]

I decided to go ahead and finish this one today. The cab and hood are 3d from Global Scale Model Trucks, the interior is scratch built, the chassis is AMT GMC Astro, the engine is a 6v-92t Detroit from Clint Freeman, wheels and tires are 24.5” from Double Take Replicas, the trailer is stock AMT, the trailer decals are from modeltruckers.

Beautiful Road Boss II.  Very well done.  Fantastic detailing.

Excellent is every way. Love the wheels and tires. The engine choice is perfect and the weathering is spot-on. Wonderful build.

Outstanding Build..

[Shark]

Looks real

You did it again, excellent fleet truck build, one of your best!. Super realistic looking, everything is spot on for a hard working, no frills rig in linehaul service. Really like the upgraded tire and wheel choice and especially the Rockwell rear hubs, a crucial detail IMO.

I agree it looks real. Very nicely done.

I love it! A gritty working truck, just the right amount of weathering. Love the streak of exhaust soot on the trailer!

Thanks Victor! I almost hated to use that Clint Freeman engine, but it makes a nice one.

Thanks! KJ did a great job on those wheels. I like the larger wheels, I think that they look better on the older trucks.
