Mack B-Model B613T
 

Started a Mack B-Model, or as close as I can get to one. It's based on a B-613T. Using Wedico Axles to keep the width more to scale, Dayton rims and low pro tires. Most likely going with a R2 trans and would like to go with a partial interior.

A perfect fit for my Ultra Liner truck hauler.

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

Holy WOW,i have to ask,did you use a stock cab?..from Tamiya?..or something?..and those fenders are a true work of art.really nice!..

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

Thanks Wayne for the kind words.


Thanks.

Thanks, the cab is from a Tamiya 1/10 Midnight Pumpkin. It's almost dead on to scale in size to the 1:1 B-Model.

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

Just dropped off the cab to Brian at Exclusive RC for a 3D printed grille and paint.

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

The pics don't work

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

idk what the **** is up with photobucket.... I havent moved anything around or done anything and all the pics vanished form the forum....

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

just tried again and nothing..... I have NO clue what the deal is.... I can view them in photobucket no problem but when I post the link they do that....

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

Heck man, I wanna see those pics

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

You need to go into photo bucket and read what it says about the avatar that's replacing your pictures, the short story is the pictures we posted from Indy have been viewed so many times we've used up the allotted band width they give with a free account, my pictures are the same way. You either sign up and pay for a pro account or wait until it resets which it does every month. If you sign up for a pro account you get unlimited band width and this doesn't happen.

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

Here you Nick, a few pics Brian sent me. Tanks, emblems and breather.

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

Thanks Keith, il send you more pics tomorrow to upload for me! (Until my bandwidth clears back up lol)

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

No problem Brian, looking awesome! ��

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

Wow those are some sweet goodies going on that bad boy, can't wait to see it finished.

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

So I'm assuming it's Brian at exclusive RC making emblems for Mack and are they available to buy ? Mike

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

Yes, Brian from a Exclusive RC is making the emblems and I believe he will be offering them in his store in the near future.

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

So Brian finished printing the tanks, breather and grille. Did some additional body work and re shaped the roof, painted it and topped it off with some scale emblems and bulldog. I couldn't be more happy!

[IMG]http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...3652cc4622.jpg[/IMG]

I brought it back to the garage and mounted it to the frame, made a front bumper with some rookie lights and a grille guard. Cut out a rear emblem, mounted some lights and mud flaps. Added the stack, windows and started on the power train.

Coming along I think.

Brian is working on some headlight buckets, printing some emblems and painting the breather. Oh and maybe some Dayton rims!

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

WOW Keith this thing is SICK!!!!!

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

Hey thanks Robert, I've wanted to a B model since I've been in the hobby. Finally getting it finished.

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

Really sharp looking truck. Gotta love the old iron! Will there be a period correct trailer for it in the future?

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

Thumbs UP.....



Wayne

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

you read my mind...... a nice Fruehauf wouldnt look too shabby ;)

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

brilliant job

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

:jump::bounce::D I like it!

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

NICE!!!!!! Any thoughts on painting the frame??? Just looking out of place to me.

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

Thanks. Well I originally built it to be hauled around by my Ultraliner, but I do think I need a wagon for it. I'm thinking a round nose box trailer for it should be about right.

Thanks Wayne.

Lol, I think I'm going to need another set of rims.

Thanks.

Lol, nice.

Thanks Lynn, yes the frame is going to get painted. I'm in the process of adding the trans now and a pogo stick, then I'll paint the frame. Lots of little details to add yet.

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

A period correct outside frame rail flat bed or van trailer 40 to 45 ft tandem or single axle would be killer

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

Here is a picture of my Grandfather in around September 1937 with one of his Mack's and I believe a Trailmobile trailer. I think I might go this direction.

[IMG]http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...ea326a41e0.jpg[/IMG]

I also like this style trailer.

[IMG]http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/...a76a37ee5b.jpg[/IMG]

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

I would think the period correct length for the old Mack would be 32' to 36' trailer a lot of single axle and some tandems...

Wayne

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

Yes Wayne, my grandfathers trailers were 30'. I've started a scale trailer for it about an hour ago, it'll be 24" long, round nose and 6.5" tall hopefully will look like the orange one.

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

Keith what a great build, but the thing that put me over the top was the picture of your grandfather looking so proud next to his old Mack. Awesome man, so kool to see.

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

Great build, love the old trucks of any brand

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

Nice build all around, including that garage

Nicely done

Re: Mack B-Model B613T
 

Thanks Nick, he got up to about 20 trucks in his fleet.

Thanks Paul.

Thanks Alfy
