Thanks for the welcome. I'll get some old pics of the bruder when i have some spare time i just finished moving and got some damage to the excavator. the base and tracks broke in two!!! that was the only plastic part left.

Re: v8m8t ausy trucks
 

Really impressive work mate, that was a serious job on the excavator, reality in miniature!

Re: v8m8t ausy trucks
 

The KW is simply beautiful, is there any chance we could get a look at it with the hood open???

Cheers tracy

I have a benedini sound unit in this ill get a vid of that in action I have been making my own sound recordings and have been playing around with jake brake sound activated with a switch.

Re: v8m8t ausy trucks
 

This is just engine sound from benedini sounds. I made a wood box that takes up the hole sleeper box.

next vid will show jake brake sound in action just need to charge up some batts.

Re: v8m8t ausy trucks
 

I definitely remember your first truck, from the GT forum days. Glad to see you are still active in the hobby. Your second Kenworth looks great, and your excavator is awesome! If you haven't already, you should make a thread just for it. Welcome to the forum, by the way.

Re: v8m8t ausy trucks
 

Amazing work buddy.:D:eek::cool:;) I really like the sound, sounds BEEFY.

Big John

Re: v8m8t ausy trucks

Re: v8m8t ausy trucks
 

great builds - especially the bruder 'I'll throw away everything apart from the bucket' conversion!

Re: v8m8t ausy trucks
 

Ok looking at this thread. Love the trucks but got a question? I'm In the u.s. and we don't have trucks with that type of hood. Why is it so tall is it because of the size of the enigne? Or for better view, or some type of law down under?

Re: v8m8t ausy trucks
 

bonnet is so high because of the radiator being so big
