Cool. Very convincing detail.

Beautiful rebuild John, just lovely. That box roof looks very good.

Nick, your skills are way out there man... I love that engine, but what you did to that bed, wow that's awesome.

Very nice paint job, I'm curious to see how it will look on the chassis. The Kill setting is a nice touch 🙂

That is rather lovely! I'd never heard of this car before. What a beauty!

Wow, that's coming together really well! That is one properly full engine bay, excellent work!

Right, I noticed the label on the box art's body after I posted, but couldn't edit because apparently Mike was updating the forums. Thanks Pete.

I think I already confessed my dump truck addiction earlier in this thread... It never hurts to have another one. The big Autocar, the front fenders, the big dump body... totally love it. I paid a very good price for it on the marketplace. Just wondering what "montone" means

Love it! Well executed idea.

Thanks, I'll look into that.

I finished the chassis. Shifter and brake levers are attached, the cab floor can slide in place over those. Brake linkages. I did glue in the cab's back wall, and glued together the bed's subframe and deck. Only a few parts left. So then, logs. There are 3 logs provided with the kit. I wasn't particularly fond of them. Huge seams. And the ends are disappointing. That's a very smooth cut indeed. So, when we went for a hike this morning, I started looking for a fallen branch that was about the right size. Eventually I found something and took a piece with me. I brought a saw 🙂 Just now, I cut three "logs" from the piece. Looks way better. I think they're a little bigger than the kit logs, so I don't know if the provided chain is long enough but I'll figure something out if it's not. The rings are not centered, but still better than the flat surface of the kit's logs.

Wow! Some serious hacking going on here. Looks awesome.

Very well done! I like this version better than the original one.

It's coming together rather well.

Wonderful, just wonderful. I love trucks, your builds are very satisfying to watch. What a great subject this is.
