Re: Oshkosh P-series
 

Thanks guys.
No rush Steve!
I hope to:

1) complete my Challenger in the next week, I'm waiting on some bearings and a battery
2) gotta fix my Skidder (I believe I have injured the steering servo, stripped something)

3) finish the belly-dump

and then after the P-series it will be a Kenworth W900 (not sure what the letter after the 900 is, I don't know my trucks that well, I have pics though) daycab and a double secret piece of JD construction equipment.

Re: Oshkosh P-series
 

Pretty nice and I am envious for sure. I do wish I had the tools and the knowledge on how to start my own scratch build. Much better than the kits that are being offered out there. :D

Where does one get tires and wheels from ... like these used here? Are they 'home-grown' or is there a manufacturers website with sizes to choose from?

Re: Oshkosh P-series
 

I like your Oshkosh.

Could you use button plugs for the center caps?. They are made of stainless steel and just snap into place.

Re: Oshkosh P-series
 

Oh boy, that looks incredible! Hits the spot for sure. What talent you have. I cannot wait to see this truck completed, wearing a proper paint job, but even so, it looks so good right now. Beautiful.

Re: Oshkosh P-series
 

Thanks guys! I'm trying like heck it's my 1st truck build and 1st real attempt at styrene.

Alex : I fully expect some type of build thread from you here real soon Mr., quit sandbaggin' and lay it out there.

Panther F: The wheels and tires are from AFV (a German Co.). I have had IHbuilder make adaptors for me though (they don't alter the look, he's amazing).

Ken Orme: I have center caps that came with them and they are truely scale (nice).

Re: Oshkosh P-series

Re: Oshkosh P-series
 

Oshkosh trucks are my absolute favorite of them all. Excellent work.

Re: Oshkosh P-series
 

Man, I love the Oshkosh P series. You could build a nice M911 with that set up and cab. Great job on the styrene work. Looks like you certainly got the hang of using it.

Re: Oshkosh P-series
 

I've never looked at an M911 til' now, that's a beast of a truck! It may be a bit easier that the current build.

Re: Oshkosh P-series
 

Yes it is a really big sucker isn't it? I just really like the overall look of them.

Re: Oshkosh P-series
 

That looks like the rigs at the airport where i work, nice job on the body.

Re: Oshkosh P-series
