Pete 357 tri-axle dump Finally done!! 1/1/12

[TRUCKMAKER]

Brian, excellent build, very true to the 1:1. I've followed it from the time I came to the board and have waited inpatiently to see it at this point (Love tri-axle dumps). Is the 1:1 still around so you can get a photo of the 2 together? Can't wait to see what you do next, this one will be hard to beat.

How about a family photo with the yellow daycab?

Thanks Nick! I'm glad you got it I may just unpack the daycab for some photos.

Thank Travis! Thank for noticing the missing step I tried for a good while to make one. I gave up after 4 hours of trying to figure how to mount it
