777 HAUL TRUCK (1/12 size)

Wow, you've made some great progress on the 777. I like the detail you've been putting into the truck. The handrails and ladders look really good. The 5 gallon bucket really helps put things into perspective, on it's shear size. No doubt it will be a very well built, and heavy model. Nice work!

Thanks!!! Adding the details seems to be the biggest challenge but the finished result is always rewarding. Hopefully it is well built...LOL...one thing is for sure...it is heavy!!!

Slowly trying to get this thing to look a bit more like the real thing...

First attempt at the small deck/walkway beside the cab and the hand railing. Something about this just isn't right....think the walk way is too wide, trying to build this all without a scale model to use as a reference or blue prints is tricky, looking at 1:1 picture can only help so much, and many picture are not at the proper angle to get a good reference from...fun fun....very frustating at times!!! More time is spent looking at what has been added and trying to figure out why it doesn't seem to look right....or maybe it's a combination of a number of things that aren't right which make finding the problem a total DRAG !!! I must say...my hat's off to the scale builders!!!! Hope you don't mind my simple not so scale like build....learning all the time!!!
