mackd Posted February 18, 2016 Author Posted February 18, 2016 I present to you my Advanced weathering on the Mack. It me rest some details a finish on the front, small nuances and touch-ups. The rear part is not completed. I want complete chains of the rear wheels, and then make the finish from the back of the truck
Superpeterbilt Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Excellent work. It looks as realistic as it gets.
gatorincebu Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Alain, Are you going to build the front plow for it? I think you should. The truck is awesome either way. Be Well Gator

Chariots of Fire Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Outstanding work! You have made it look like a real rig. I'll bet if you took a photo outside with the right background you could not tell that it is a model. Great job!
mackd Posted March 16, 2016 Author Posted March 16, 2016 My Advanced on my snow plow. There are days that its going really very wrong. Saturday sa has been very bad. I was taking pictures for my diorama is testing when a gust of wind lifted the cardboard and the truck project into a plate of water. Beautiful result Test photos
Canso65 Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Oh what a shame Alain.Sorry to see this has happened.I'm sure you can rebuild it though.Rob
Badluck 13 Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 (edited) I seen this unfortunate disaster on Facebook the other night......made me sick to see what happened to your work..... Edited March 17, 2016 by Badluck 13
gatorincebu Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Alain, I was totally shocked to see the mack in pieces. I know how that feels. And your work is much better than mine. What I did was put it for a little while. Then I brought it out and finished it . I know you have to be upset, frustrated and........................................?? looking forward to the rebuild . Be Well Gator
GrumpyGrowly Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 I feel like playing Taps. But every one else might be right, a rebuild is still a possibility. My deepest condolences.Jonathan
Foxer Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 That is one beautiful plow ... just take a break and breathe ,,, I'm sure you can get it back together ,,, weathering can hid a lot!
mackd Posted March 17, 2016 Author Posted March 17, 2016 Thank you friends for your good comments. I started the repair. I looked at the positive side of the accident. I'll make some corrections on the job done too quickly.I'm lucky only pieces a redo are the clamches of the Hood. The other major point is the rear column, it is curved. The other parts are breaks
