Seems to work just as good as it looks, which is great.
Yes, that's exactly what I was going for with the color! I spent quite a bit of time in that area camping with my parents back in the 80's and early 90's. MacMillan Bloedel had a large camp there (Franklin River Division) and that is how I plan to have the decals made for this truck. The camp is long gone and so is M&B so this is my little tribute.

What's next for me? I am not sure! I have some customer projects that need my attention and the summer months are typically busy with work outside the hobby so there probably won't be anything big going on until the fall at least. I want to scratch build a dozer and have been collecting photos and specs for months so if I can find the time I would like to do that. It will be in 1/10th scale.

Thanks for all the compliments on this truck!
