Re: My Kenworth T800
 

Oh man like night and day from the very last set of pics you posted to the current ones. Heck just the styrene additions without any filler were looking very neat but now with the filler and some primer the edges transition so flawlessly!!

Nice work Travis, she's gonna be a beaut when finished!

Kdub through and through, there's no doubt when you look at it!:)

Hi Travis,

Cheers Cossett

Re: My Kenworth T800
 

Nice work, Travis!

You going to put quad headlights on her?

Re: My Kenworth T800
 

Thanks for the comments they are apriciated. Headlights the bumper and a headach rack are on the list of things I still need to make.

Re: My Kenworth T800
 

Wow travis I like the way that filler blended in ... I'll have to give it a try ....... Nice body lines on the cab.......Looking forward to the final truck.

Would you look at that shine!!! Beautiful, just beautiful!

Way to go Travis,

Re: My Kenworth T800
 

That's a nice cab, can't tell it's a modded king hauler cab, real professional job. Light buckets look good too, are they modded pmd square headlights? The lenses look familiar.

Re: My Kenworth T800
 

Thanks Paul it is not exactly like I want it but it is my firts try and I am thinking about doing another one in the future.

Thanks Alex I think I may do a Mack ch next.;)

Yes Snowman the lenses are from pmd but the housings are made from styrene and chrome UltraCote.

Thanks for looking
Travis

Re: My Kenworth T800
 

And I just couldn't resist puting the cab on the frame.:D

Re: My Kenworth T800
 

That's a good looking truck. I like the length, color, and the chassis layout.

Re: My Kenworth T800
 

Hi Travis.

That red came out well and so shiny she will be nice when all the chrome bits go on her, as for the next rig the CH OZtruck has made a coupe of Macks from memory here is one I just found some inspiration

Paint is awesome! Will have to get you to paint one for me! No way can I get that much shine in a paint job:(

Re: My Kenworth T800
 

Travis, truck is looking good I see the tow truck got put on the back burner for now.

Re: My Kenworth T800
 

No problem Alex.:D

Thanks A32Limited:cool:

Thanks Cossett and OZtruck does some exeptional work.:cool:

Thanks this one turned out prety good but I hope the next one is better.:D

Thanks Joe I have another T800 build that I want to do and I have a few areas of the truck that I want to do a better job on to make it closer to the 1:1.

Clear, clear,clear and more clear and then polish the shyt out of it.:D

Just waiting on some parts for it so I can build the boom to fit the winches.:cool:

Re: My Kenworth T800
 

Amazing job on your truck. How did you make the head lights?

Re: My Kenworth T800
 

They are just styrene with chrome decal wraped around it with some PMD lenses.

Travis

Re: My Kenworth T800
 

is this truck gonna be forsale?

Re: My Kenworth T800
 

No but I am planing on building another cab and we just have to see how it turns out.

Re: My Kenworth T800
 

That is looking great Travis. Are those stock globe frame rails?

Re: My Kenworth T800
 

No they are custom rails I got from a Tamiya Cowboy here on the board and they were blanks when I got them all of the holes were drilled by me so I have no extra holes giving the frame a clean look.:cool:

Re: My Kenworth T800
 

Looks good Travis! Nice job on the hood.

Re: My Kenworth T800
 

Looks good Travis! I have some suggestions... if you're comfortable with a lot of modding and shaping, I know I'm not! Try shrinking the headlights and maybe making the grille have more vertical sections. But don't get me wrong.... THIS IS AMAZING!!! By the way, I'm typing this on the PS3.
