Hey friends! Look what I've done! This is the first version of accumulator terminal

I didn't liked it, so I remade them:

Do not pay attention to wires (rubbers). I will put them in place later. :)

There are ties for hoses. I tired to fasten tose ties. They often tear at hole walls, which are 0.1mm sometimes:

Desided to make door upholstery:

It looked just like that in the movie:

Thank you my friends for kind words!

Of course I will take it to model show, that starts in two months. I hope I'll be in time.

Let's continue!

For those who will follow my footsteps: bear in mind that exhaust pipes are slightly short from a turbine to left silenser. I was have to join two pipes using 5 min. epoxy with 2mm gap between pipes. This space was covered by a clamp:

Last time I've forgot to show a plumbing to oil warning sensor, speed sensor and clach hose:

There are silensers, air hoses and cab jack rams were added:

Sergey, please take this in the good way that I mean it... You, Sir, are a MANIAC!!! You have more talent nin your little finger than I have in my entire body... Every time I look at this build, it blows me away. It challenges me to push the envelope of my own skill sets and reach to that next level! I have a K123 COE that I've started that I'm going to try plumbing and wiring the engine and chassis. This will be a first for me... Thanks for the inspiration!

Finally the cab with it's full dress:

By the way the pink strip is 2mm short in the upper cab point. Note this fack who will use Jbot decals. I Added pieces from spare.

Fuel tanks and some chassis decals:

Oh man this is pure genius. The art of super detailing has taken a quantum leap here boys. This kind of craftsmanship is why I came to this forum. Sergey, KUDOS man that's one fantsmagoricle model.

Thank you again, friends!

I'm starting to build live stock trailer and need some help.

Can anyone point me to photos of trailer side door locks. I couldn't get well pictures from a movie.
