Re: Nick's 379 build

Thanks. I would never pass off someone else's work as my own, I just think it's immoral.



Yeah Nathan I will paint them. I'm probably going to go with the body colour. They are cool, more...

Re: Nick's 379 build

Re: "SLUMLORD" pic's...finally

Looking good. It's crying out for a big bumper to go with the cool rear one and the frame stretch. If Steve's making it you can be sure it will be top notch!

Re: Nick's 379 build

Thanks Steve. Would I be right in saying these are the first of your A/C's to be over this side of the pond? In any case they rock! Soon as I got them mounted my truck just went up a couple of...

Re: Nick's 379 build

Thanks guys. Here's a teaser, not much to add, just fitted the tanks and steps on the other side and mocked up the stack and bumper. The rake is made worse by the wide angle lens of my camera.

Re: Nick's 379 build

Forgot to mention, the tyres are Verkerk's michelin low pros. Costs a pretty penny when you get a full set (tractor & trailer) but they are ultra realistic, I just had to get them.

Re: Classy Shak

Just you wait till you get the mfu and get that monster moving. I can't describe the joy and excitement that I experienced when my truck moved this week for the first time in a year and a half! :D

Re: Nick's 379 build

Thanks Nathan. Yeah it does have quite a rake but I'm still playing around with the dummy airbags on the rear axles. It's a complicated operation of cutting down springs, squeezing them into the...

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump New pics! 10-30-11

Looks like the premise for a new movie, honey I shrunk the Peterbilt. Either that or someone's parked a Peterbilt on some giant's kitchen counter!

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 10-24-11

Re: Dumb Question About Double Square Headlights

Unless you get some thick transparent plastic like from a spare cd case (smooth part) cut to shape and glue that on and then paint it with some tamiya clear orange? Just an idea.

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump small update 10-9-11

It really is a miniaturised replica of the 1:1 in your pic there. Beautiful paint finish, The metal hardware looks so good, there are a lot of people coveting that grill I think.
