Old Buckaroo Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 I'm liking it , especially with the faded stripe. Nice hydraulic tank you made !
Superpeterbilt Posted January 10, 2015 Author Posted January 10, 2015 With all of the Diamond Reo's currently being built, I was moved to pull mine down. The tri axle to be specific. I filled in the holes in the hood and started puttying. I did some work to the dump body as well. I added graceful curves to the cabguard, and started building the frame for the tailgate. I swapped out the missmatched tanks for a set of Autocar tanks. I would like to have it in paint by the end of the weekend.
Superpeterbilt Posted January 17, 2015 Author Posted January 17, 2015 I got the hood sanded and ready for primer. I mounted the roof lights and mirrors. I cut the fenders to mimic the new angle of the hood. I also scribed the fenders where they are split for the short hood. I got it all in a coat of primer.
Mopar - D Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Terry, I really like your work on on the dump trucks. On a side note are you going to the Lake Charles model show next weekend?
Superpeterbilt Posted January 17, 2015 Author Posted January 17, 2015 Terry, I really like your work on on the dump trucks. On a side note are you going to the Lake Charles model show next weekend?Thanks man. No, I cant make it to the show. I wanted to, but it just didnt work out. Are you going? Is there usually a truck turn out?
Superpeterbilt Posted January 17, 2015 Author Posted January 17, 2015 Good seeing this back on the bench Terry!Thanks Dennis. Im trying to get a few wrapped up. My in-progress shelf is cluttered.
Superpeterbilt Posted January 18, 2015 Author Posted January 18, 2015 Construction on the dump body is finally finished. I lengthened the tailgate with the section I cut off of my dump trailer project. I need to add a taillight panel and the main hinges. I shot some color on the cab and fenders. I also made a bigger doghouse to compensate for the shorter hood.
kilrathy10 Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 I don't know how I missed this thread......These are some awesome looking trucks, Man.....Excellent job on the first one, and the second is amazing with what you've done to that dump body.....Awesome.....
Superpeterbilt Posted September 21, 2015 Author Posted September 21, 2015 I've commenced work on Old Green again while I've been weathering the Brockway. I added the tailgate, finished the grill, added the emblems, and started doing the base work for a little rusting.
Superpeterbilt Posted September 21, 2015 Author Posted September 21, 2015 Thanks guys. This is totally just some uninspired, let the model build itself type of projects. Sometimes, those end up being some great pieces of the collection. I'm using some decals made by a friend of mine with my late grandfathers name on it. He never had a Diamond Reo, but if he did, it'd look like this!
Tesla Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Great weathering Terry. The rot on the left fender is very convincing!
Superpeterbilt Posted September 21, 2015 Author Posted September 21, 2015 Thanks Gordon and Dennis. I may tone that rot down a bit. I'm also thinking of a few last min details.
guitarsam326 Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) Terry, what silver did you use on the tri axle cab? I really like it Edited September 21, 2015 by guitarsam326
