Re: Clamshell Bucket Build
Nice job with the clam bucket! Being made of brass, I wondered if it would have enough weight to bite-in adequately, but looks like it's not a problem at all.

Re: IH 350B Payhauler Truck
I appreciate everyone's comments. Egronvold, the turning radius is 32" (81 cm) but the clearance radius - actual space required to turn the truck the around - is 39" (1 m).

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
"Wow!" just is not adequate for your truck. With the paint and low-level photos, you're just missing the engine sound and truck smells to make it the real thing. A great piece of modelling!

Re: Pete 379 wrecker
Really nice looking wrecker and plenty of detail. Where did you get the body door latches? Noticed they were mentioned in a couple of posts, but not where they came from.
Thanks.
