Petetrucker07 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Im gonna have to get a can of that. Its a bright, brilliant color. For some reason im having issues spraying enamels, but not lacquers, cant figure it out. Kinda same thing you ran into changing the colors. All my lacquer jobs come out great, no need to polish. But enamels, oh boy, it needs help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneckrodder Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Looks sweet if you paint the a/c and mirrors black it would look like theres alot less white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Almost there Terry...the winch detailing is superb!! You should consider selling an accessory kit for the winch The flaps are awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Terry, did you machine the rods & bushings in the winch or are they simulated with wire & tubing? Nice job, by the way. Love it. Always wanted to build an oilfield rig. I'd have your thread in front of me all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love it. Always wanted to build an oilfield rig. I'd have your thread in front of me all the way. The rods are 1/16 alum welding rod, and I did machine the collars. I just turned down some .250 round stock and drilled it 1/16. The linkage for the levers is plastic using rods and tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make that two of us ! Terry this just gets better and more inspiring every time I look at it. Those Hymel brand tires are just awesome ! Keep up the Spectacular work.

Superpeterbilt Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Thanks guys. This has been one of those builds that just keeps pushing me a little further. It was hard getting certain things just right. I removed and reglued the fuel tanks and battery boxes at least 10 times trying to get them exactly right. The winch really took almost as much work as the whole truck. The trailers really ate my lunch trying to get them just right. Heres the trailers with some paint. They still need some wet sanding and more coats, but heres the mock up. I havent had any time to work on the train, so it will probably go to show with my diecast dozer on it.

Superpeterbilt Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Im in the home stretch. I clear coated everything late last night, and now have only a few things left. The truck just needs the windshield made and installed, tires installed, and cab fitted to frame. The trailers are done with the exception of the D rings and a few other details that will be done later. Heres a shot before the clear coat.

Old Buckaroo Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) Are they going to have a table long enough for that monster ? Of course if you get there first no room for the competition ! Terry - That is a serious looking truck that looks like it could haul anything. I am very impressed with the work you have put into this to make it such a jaw dropper. Edited September 19, 2014 by Old Buckaroo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petetrucker07 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Just beautiful. Very tough lookin. Amazing work, from your castings to the machined aluminum pieces to the styrene fabrication to the finished build. This is gonna be a show stopper!

Superpeterbilt Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 Thanks for the kind words guys, its very rewarding to see it finished. No worries Sean, I have my own table. Unless theres some suprise truck appearances, it looks like Ill be representing our end of the hobby alone. My whole club is airplane guys, but its nice to be the "truck guy".

chunkypeanutbutter Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Never heard of Brockway before this. Looks great. I wish I was better at painting, but I assume you use an airbrush for your bodies and whatnot.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
