Beautiful Gary. What does that rig measure out to bumper to bumper?

14 inches, I believe, just fits in the large model case that Hobby Lobby sells.
Amazing details in this rig @GaryC. Another stunning custom semi. Are those custom mirror brackets? So cool! The engine looks great! Very nice! That gloss black on the frame and the fuel tanks is a great touch.
Yes sir , those mirror brackets are brass rod, the mirrors are from the kit with everything removed, painted and foiled, kinda meets the custom vibe
Yup, I love the added style that brings to this build. It’s the fine details and stunning paint jobs that sets your work apart. You have an excellent eye for custom design. Well done.
Thank you for the kind words, need to see more of your builds.
I’m not up to your level, but I like to build mild custom cars. Here is an example of my work.

OMG, I started laughing so hard when I read that, good one. 
Hello! I like that rig a lot!
Is it built from the Italeri kit?
As for the show rigs, I always wonder how they go about the fifth wheel. It has to be generously greased in order to pull a trailer, but that grease doesn’t look too cool. Your rig has some kind of a plate on the fifth wheel - can you comment on that?
Thanks for sharing and have a nice day!

It’s the Coke Cola Western Star kit from Round 2 (AMT), as for the fifth wheel, I used the fifth wheel from the Malone Kenworth race truck, but yes you can model up a cover that fits over the fifth wheel which is what many show trucks do.
