Too big for me tough I am in 1/25 scale. You will put into good use. Best regards Daniel Gailloux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyclaw Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 Chuck; no shortage of pix on google images either...should be pretty easy to add the "extra" details..matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyclaw Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 Rick; it took me a while to get back at it....I finally have something to share. Been working on detailing out the new "inline 6" for my current Pete 353 project in 1/16....coming along nicely; being so big lends itself to plenty of extra details....Just finished casting up the tires for this project as well; for the flotation fronts I used the Can-do as a pattern; and for the rears I used the old Paystar rears for a pattern.... this truck is going to be pulling a log train.......matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55pete351 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Hey Matt!new here but have seen a lot about your work on older posts. nice to see you back! I have checked out your site and was wondering if you were doing any casting? I remember reading that you had an extended hood for the 1/16 Peterbilt and after seeing the new engine you were working on I thought I would check with you. If so do you have any other parts available or planned. Thanks in advance for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpreadAxle Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Wow, how did I miss this?? I definately want one. Nice casting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Albion Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Matt, Thats a great looking engine. This gives truck builders an interesting alternative to the 3408 for the 1/16 scale. I have some engine builds planned for the future in 1/16 but not for a while. I have to finish a couple of truck builds and then have a couple of British engines to do for Howard at KFS. How did you get on with the extended hood for the 359? Best Regards Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
