Ha!  I wish someone would 3D print a nice Holmes 600 or 750 ,,the 750 I did a year or 2 ago I got on Shapeways and while it was decent it wasn't spot on as far as scale

[Scott Eriksen]

................a little more progress,,been busy with my full part time job,,lol ..............brake chambers added,,I removed the kit front axle and nailed on a CTM metal axle kit I had ,, now fitting the tanks and batt boxes/air tanks,then sprinkle some brake valves and air lines then paint the chassis.I forgot I had a 3D Concepts Hendrickson RT rear suspension kit I was going to use ,,,,next build!

Looking good, Scott!  Did you have to pin the white metal axle?

[Scott Eriksen]

[Scott Eriksen]

Great news!,,thats how I got started building again,,after my back surgery and hip and knee replacement stuck in the house just doing therapy

[Scott Eriksen]

.............shot some color ,fenders are black,,couple days and I'll mask off and hit the radiator shell with Revell chrome,,,painted the grille white and have to hit the Brockway emblem with chrome and black wash the mesh .Interior is painted the same Mack green as the B-61 and I started to detail paint the cast spoke wheels(I shoulda got the Auslowe ones in hindsight,,,using the Autocar kit wheels)

I went with Tamiya Camel Yellow ,,pretty close I guess.I made some Stavola decals on inkjet decal paper,,,see how those turn out on the truck

[Gary Chastain]

Wow Scott, this is coming together so nicely

[Biggu]

I love this.  It’s gonna be a beauty. And thanks for the paint name, I am always looking for a good dark yellow. I can’t wait for more updates. 

[Scott Eriksen]

............tires/wheels done,engine in place,started decals,interior painted,the diamond plate on top of the fenders I will do with BMF or Fusion Firm

Wow, Scott , this is sweet. Sure coming together nicely. This will be a beauty. Love the ‘ do not push’ on the tailgate 😉

[Gary Chastain]

Outstanding, can’t wait to see the finished build

[Jürgen M.]

Looks great! I like the color scheme. Black and yellow are a great combo!

[Scott Eriksen]

...............finished decals,cleared now to finish up any chrome ,black out the window rubber and install the interior which is almost done

[Scott Eriksen]

...............almost ready for cab mounting.I had a pair of front floats from Jamie ,,,using them 

[Gary Chastain]

Really well executed Scott, well done. 

[Rockford]

Looks great, the yellow is just right. Not too harshly bright. 

[Biggu]

Perfect color combo. Looks like a real hard worker and old school heavy duty. Love it. 

[BK9300]

Very fine detail painting on the Bulldog, and the Brockway script - good looking truck, Scott!
