In the works

Here's a couple of truck's i've been working on for a while.
Waiting on some parts for the Mack from Auslowe,rear guards,viser,bugscreen and bullbar.

And with the 359 I'm going for the US show truck look.

some good looking work in the progress there mate keep it up

Top stuff there mate. I love show trucks, especially Peterbilts. Look forward to seeing them finished.

Cool, will keep an eye on the show truck as I am going to build one myself.

Made up the rear gaurds,should have them in primer this week.

Nice, what did you make the guards from?

Looking good so far
Oh wait Rod are these utes or pickups?

Made the gaurds out of a plastic box I had lying around,the whole thing is one piece and just folded it then got the heat gun on to it so it would hold its shape.
It'll look better when primed.

Mate, I am overwhelmed that you still seek my opinion on important things in life
I think that when all the dust settles, this one will hence forth be known as a "truck" and a bloody good one by the look of it
Happy modeling

Gotta ask questions if you want to learn
Good work PTEAZA, I'll stop stealing your threads now and start watching

In primer,need to finnish off filler work and hopefully paint on the weekend. (after Sandown)

Very good

Coming along nicely. I take it that this is the new release Peterbilt kit. Has it got a one piece cab/sleeper, or are they separate.

I have the new kit and it's a one piece affair, unfortunately.

It's a one piece,I think I would have got more adventurous if it was a two piece.

Why the hell do they do that. It would have been cheaper to recast the existing toolings than to create new crap. Makes a big job if you choose to customise your truck. I was going to buy a carton from the States cause they are so cheap, now I know why there cheap, that's typical tooling you would expect from a toy manufacturer. Ok. I feel better now that I have that off my chest. I love what you've done so far, and I'm sure you will do it justice. Can't wait to see it finished mate.

The gaurds are all painted,little pit of crap landed in the clear but I'll worry about that later.

The colour is Crysler deep Cranberry,the cab will be bright silver metalic.

I have also started the reefer trailer to suite

Awesome. I love that Cranberry colour.

Fronts gaurds in paint also.
