Jesse.....That Gold Nugget is BAD, Man....All that work on the detail...Lighting it up and such....Masterful....And the Aero Astro is Fantastic.....I like it better blue, too.....Excellent work on those figures, btw....

Thanks JT but as the Moody Blues sang so well, "I'm just a singer in a rock n roll band".

Lugnut is busy sniffing soldering fumes and candle wax for the General project however we defer any accolades to some of the far cleaner builds out there including some of your stretched masterpieces and trailer work.

[Belugawrx]

Very nice work here gentlemen!!

Best of the season to all 'y'all

Cheers

Some beautiful models in this thread.

I've never built a truck but I have a C600 in my stash and there's plenty of inspiration here.

Thanks Dennis. I figured 1 thread was better than going back into each different thread. Its kinds like an online model truck show. Too bad theres not a way to vote, like people choice. Hhmmm, maybe something can be done. This gives guys a chance to look back at all the builds. Its also good for members like me who joined mid year to see builds that may have slipped down the list. Your builds look great, ive been keeipn my eyes open for 1 of them excavators. Id really like 1 to go with the rest of my equipment. If i can started on it, i have trailer that might get some attention. Great work this year man!

[towman1271]

My 1 and only for the year..Actually took about two years..Dont know were you guys find the time to pop out these awesome works of art!

Dude....I found a couple of those excavators across town at a truck stop.....And they had one with a battle tank, too....I also found them on Amazon.....Cost a little more than Love's, but they deliver.....Just look up NewRay toys.....You have to buy them with the rig and trailer, but that suits me just fine....I use the wheels and tires for race trailers and low boys.....

And yeah....One thread is an excellent idea....As soon as something new comes up, I can view it.....Awesome....

Great work, Dennis.....I think this is your first full year of posting, right??? And not much more experience in modeling..... Great job on that NewRay....As I stated, I've found a couple and have already commenced to modifying one to suit my taste for orange......I'm thinking CASE brand.....

And nice work, Dave, on that Mack.....Some of us just seem to have all the time in the world, but don't feel bad....

Thanks for the tip on Amazon having New Ray. I checked the Loves on my home from Phoenix last week in the big truck. They had a bunch of tanks and a couple cranes. I almost bought the crane, but it didnt look quite right. I never considered the tank, maybe i should.

[Petetrucker07]

Dave, you nailed that Martin Penwalt truck. It was well worth the time. Very nice job man.

[kilrathy10]

You're right about the crane not looking quite right.....I think it just needs more boom....I almost picked one up to test that theory.....

JT...here's a link to a Doosan excavator. It closely resembles the New Ray and it's in your favorite color! http://www.doosanequipment.eu/doosanequipment/products/crawler-excavators/medium-excavators/DX180LC-3.page?

[kilrathy10]

Hey, thanks Dennis....That is another option.....I appreciate you looking out for me.....I like it....And it's just about how I have it painted, too....Thanks, Buddy....

[Chuck Most]

Squeezed off one more... maybe the Diamond Reo stands a chance too.

[Petetrucker07]

Yeah i thought i might manage another for the year but not gonna happen. Work really gets in the way of hobbies.

[Gimlet6]

Wow! Some amazing work for the year. Great job to all. I was hoping to finish my build for the year but fell short

[kilrathy10]

Great job on that old Ford, Chuck....Excellent work on the weathering.....Very nice....

[Tesla]

The Ford looks real nice Chuck. You've mastered the art of weathering!

[bandit1]

I stand corrected! I only finished ONE this year!...

Hope to have a couple done by the end of next year though!

I present the ONE AND ONLY Project 349H Peterbilt inspired by a brochure photo Via Tim A.

Thanks

Good job, Sean...Very nice work....

[bandit1]

Good job, Sean...Very nice work....

Ah well I need to find a Cat 3306 in scale (no I don't mean to say 3406... I need a 3-3-0-6) to shove in there and fix a warped hood... plus a side step from the rog pete 359 kit.... so it looks nice in the pic but not in real life...

Thanks though JT!

[dptydawg]

I did a few cars this year and these trucks

Just the auto rack and Louisville. The Cars were previously built

IWhen I checked through my build log I was suprised by the number of builds that I did complete this year

Thanks

Carl

I enjoyed all of those builds, Carl.....I really like that Hess training van, but that little Dodge looks pretty awesome, too.....

[slusher]

Really great trucks and trailers being posted...

[Mopar - D]

Thanks for making one post for the yearly builds its great to able to go to the one post to see all the great work every one has done this past year. I did not get any trucks built this past year spent my time on cars but I'm currently working a car transporter and have a couple trucks lined up to build in 2015.

Happy New Years everyone !
