The KW is coming along nicely Mark! I really like the work on the fuel tanks.

[reserve]

Thanks Leon

Very busy at work, not so much the bench. Closer...

I may try to scratch a small deck and headache rack just for laughs

[Leon]

The KW is looking sharp Mark!

[joelsmith]

Looking real nice Bubba! Keep it up.

[reserve]

Thanks gents

The deck did not work out due to height issues but the rack is now in primer

I've got a few days in a row off and should have sufficient time to finish this. I started it in August and it's been occupying the bench for too long

Regards,
Mark

[Leon]

To bad about the deck Mark! Looking forward to seeing this finished.

[jpc1968]

Looking good

Thanks gents

UK Pontiac the mesh is something I've had laying around for quite some time; I really don't remember for sure where it came from. As you see I do quite a bit of 1/35th armor so the chances of one of these being the source is good. Try your local hardware store(s) for some fine mesh window screen perhaps one of them will have something that'll work

Regards,
Mark

Done

This one needed a lot of help. I did not dare stop working on it, if I had archeologists would have probably discovered it still unfinished about a thousand years from now. Well, I always wanted to tangle with one of these and now I have. Back to tanks where I belong

Mark

No Mark, I think you belong in the land of shiny finishes! You did a terrific job on this and I especially like what you did with that fuel tank and engine. I know firsthand how difficult it is to fill all those seams and work it into a flawless finish. I see much effort those that don't car model do not.

[Leon]

WOW....That looks awesome Mark! All the time and effort you put into this really shows.

[Wes]

Great stuff Mark. Still begging for a trailer though. HAHA

[reserve]

Thanks gents glad you like it

Wes there's hope; I may find additional room and get cocky again who knows. I'd have to find a source for tires and rims as such things are beyond my scratching capability but right now the idea is rather appalling

Regards,
Mark

Absolutely awesome, it’s almost a shame to grunge up that Cat engine . I built one years ago and really enjoyed the build and end result.

So ah…. Where ya going to park this thing when your done ? If I remember correctly, it’s about 2 feet long….

If you’re single, no worries then

[garydavis-Rest In Peace]

Great JOB Mark!! The engine weathering is top notch. The finish on the cab is awesome. Black is one of the hardest colors to get a good finish with. Yours looks GREAT!!

[reserve]

Thank you sir. Nearly six years ago, I wonder if I'd be willing to do such a thing again.

Cmon' man......you KNOW you want to. 

[Steve Zuleski]

Awesome job, regardless of the time. Sheesh, has it been that long already, woof!

[`Boots`]

I love it.......great job Mark and at least there`s someone else out there that works at the same pace i do

[reserve]

Z it has. Don't seem possible, eh?

Boots not a thing wrong with slow; I've ruined alot of stuff trying to hurry

Thank you gents

[`Boots`]

Absolutely agree Mark.......`slow and steady` wins the race as they say , mind you i`ve ruined stuff going slow as well

[buddho]

Looking fabulous so far with your progress, more more!!!!

[jeaton01]

Lovely so far. I used to own 3 W900's a 76 and 2 79's, a 3 axle with a Cat 3406A, a 3 axle with a Big Cam 400 Cummins, and a 2 axle with a Big Cam 290. Well made trucks one and all.

[armornutii]

Magnificent, I built one a long time ago for a friend. He said he liked it however when he moved back to Spokane from Seattle he placed it unprotected in the back window deck...in SUMMER. Well the truck turned into a blob and I haven't had the guts to try and find another.
Love that big truck though, very cool build.
