Re: 777 HAUL TRUCK (1/12 size)
Love the work you've done on the truck and the dozer, very impressive. I with Reg, good enough on the steering, lets see it haul a load.

Re: 777 HAUL TRUCK (1/12 size)
I have to agree with you both (RCP57,dirtpusher9)....enough on the steering already....this is a topic that could go on and on...I don't want to get into a debate on something that is right or wrong, debates only end up with someone getting offended at one point.....so at this point we will say my steering geometry isn't the best ( and no I'm not offended by any comments or suggestions...takes more than that to hurt my "feeling"...LOL) my only concern with the steering idea was if it would be strong enough to turn with/without a load on the truck...the other concern is the fact it has no diff. which could be the biggest problem when steering the truck no matter how good the steering geometry is or isn't. I do appreciate all the suggestions and ideas!!! Thanks guys for all the input!!! Building stuff from scratch is a challenge and any help from others is great and always welcome!!!

Re: 777 HAUL TRUCK (1/12 size)
Quite a bit of dirt on those tires now hey...
The ladders look great!...The whole truck looks great actually. With some paint it's going to look awesome! Do you find that with each model, you want to create more detail?

I'm happy with the ladders even though it would be better if they were round and not square...but if I can cut the parts out all the better...good thing I'm not a true scale builder !! Yes...having a bit more detail does seem to be getting more important for me even on my "Plain Jane" builds!! There are some details that just have to be on the model...just not the same without them. The hardest part is making it all work right...then it seems once you get it working properly you just want to paint it and go use it... adding the details seems to get forgotten...or put off for along time,so the trick is never paint your model that way it is always a work in progress!! LOL
