Hope you all enjoy these pics,Weathering was acheived with real dirt and dust,and also diesel around the fuel tanks as they overflow when filled
Not a car or truck guy but the paint and weathering job on that logger looks great.
Thanks mate.
The pup trailer would have the tractor bunk uprights up between the duals at least thats how they’re hauled in the pacific northwest USA. other than that was it a conversion or is that kit available down under? Looks cool, can’t wait to get the motivation to finish my Western Star conversion. Very well done
I like that! Well done! [B]
Thanks for the comments,both kits are availiable from Aussie,our trucks carry the" jinker "or pup trailers as you guys call them on the back as the picture shows,this would normally be a folding unit as my International Transtar shows.Get into ya western star,What are you doing with it and what model is it?
Morning, my Western Star is the Italari kit, 1/25 scale, truck has square hood and tall ground clearence, used to drive interstate and always loved the lines, very angular and tough looking. Leaving sleeper box off, filling in large hole in back of cab and making it just a window. The forward bunk comes from the AMT release of a logging trailer, that kit has the rack, fwd bunk, pintle hitch, and tractor frame enhancement , pup will mostly be OOB. My tractor wil eventually have an interior, ie seat belts, window visors, switches, de froster vents, maybe even a hardwood floor. I’m mostly an armor/aircraft builder ( collector LOL ) and tend to build very slow however its a fun distraction. May ask for more info on purchasing one of those Mack kits, I have never seen one like that here in the states.
Cool thanks les.61 now I know where to look, and what to look for so if I run across one I can snag it.
Now this is beautifully done. Very nice weathering.
Well done! [Y]
thanks for the comments
Sounds like you have a plan cant wait to see it
