Awesomeness!!! If this was a larger scale build, you'd be out on the driveway with it!!! Nice additions under the hood, bro!

Thanks gents
Wes this thing swallows paint like I swallow beer
Time's not been plentiful but have gotten this a bit further down the road. Have gotten to the part where eighties model kit engineering is really showing it's ugliness, what I have become to think of as the garbage bucket point. Not to worry I always think about it but very rarely do it.

Forward at sublight, perhaps I'll get a full day in on it sometime and create a noticeable difference

Work is very busy so the bench ain't. That being said, it's closer...

Gonna have to get a bit more grey filter on it as I think it needs more contrast. May also need to cut down the stacks, opinions? Don't like the treadplate in back of the sleeper so I've got myself half convinced to scratch a headache rack/small deck there instead. Why not make it more complicated?

Looking very good, Mark! Those stacks look great like they are, but would they make it under an overpass without scraping?  |

I think so Bucky if I did the math right they should be a scale 12 feet tall. No assurances of that, however...

Mark

In that case, I think I'd leave 'em as is!!

They look tall without a trailer on it... put a trailer behind and see what you think and go from there... just my opinion... Joe  |

Is there a 1/16 scale trailer kit? That behind this truck would be waaaaaaaay long!!!!  |

Hey Mark. Good to see this rolling again. Looks cool, Bub.  IMHO the stacks should be shorter. |
