mackd Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 It is a model that I started twenty years ago,i have never finished by lack of motivation.When I was very young my father was of the equipment for the forest contractors.The original of my model had a roll off that he had made,for the loading of the pulp
Superpeterbilt Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Looks to be a great build. So are you finally motivated to finish it?
tbill Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 I just absolutely love that, just as it sits, that just speaks to me for some reason.
kilrathy10 Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Good looking truck.....I like this old guy....Great work....
Petetrucker07 Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Thats an awesome weathered old chevy, i also like the little guy takin inventory of the tires in the background
REDNECK7109 Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 I wouldn't change a thing . There's something about that looks really good just the way it is... good job man
BirdWatcher Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Awesome! Probably my favorite Chevy of all time. Is this a conversion of yours or did you use a kit or resin body? I'd really love to replicate my work truck. Great job!
every second counts Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 That looks amazing I agree I WOUNDNT change anything. Nice weathering or maybe its dust, mmmm not sure. That must be resin, never seen that body as a kit. I do see these in the summer as a lot of farmers in our area use them for corn and grain harvesting. I can't believe some of the trucks these farmers have. later Ewan
slusher Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 I wouldn't change a thing . There's something about that looks really good just the way it is... good job man I agree. Looks great.
mackd Posted May 24, 2014 Author Posted May 24, 2014 Thank You the guy,my lack of motivation was that I do not remember very well to all the details of the roll off that my father was.I do not like to work only of memory,sometimes have done error.It shalt surely not identical but it shalt be when even well I think it shalt be well in a working situation
Arnd Posted May 24, 2014 Posted May 24, 2014 Grate work on that littel one. Did you rework the fenders by your self or is that a resin cab?
impcon Posted May 25, 2014 Posted May 25, 2014 Now THAT IS SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is that a conversion of the Revell pickup or a resin cab? The grille looks so right! If this is a conversion that you did, then I have to say that it is unique, very pretty and extremely well done!! You need to do another cab like that and give it to a resin caster to produce because I'm sure that more than a few would sell! What did you use for a chassis and engine and how did you make the grille??? That is truly a very special model and my hat is off to you for doing such a spectacular job!!!! You really caught the look right. Thank you for sharing..,.
mackd Posted May 25, 2014 Author Posted May 25, 2014 Thanks guys your comments motivates me .Our those who asked the question was whether it is a resin ?It is a old resin of Modelhaus that I bought twenty years ago
David G. Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Well done, it has a very solid look to it. David G.
mackd Posted June 20, 2014 Author Posted June 20, 2014 introduced before the weathering.I may be forgotten a few small details i was 11 years old when my father has built this roll off.Of course this was not a GM 66 but a Ford 58.The arrives of the roll off has been revolutionary for the truckers forest
Rob Hall Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Way cool..love the look of those vintage medium duty trucks.
Petetrucker07 Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Thats is very nice work. Great detail. Outstanding job!
Chariots of Fire Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Very nicely done! It sits right and looks right. Great job!
mackd Posted June 25, 2014 Author Posted June 25, 2014 Thank You the friends of your comments.For a model that i am without motivations i do come back not on any forums people like this truck.May be the nostalgia of years 60/70 or it is trucks were the masters of the local transport.Also they were of very beautiful trucks
