Great looking build, you really captured the look. Love the subtle touches, like the fuel stains and such. Well done!

Great job with this one, as expected. It has that elusive balance of looking realistically used, but not overdone.

I like the fact that it has the holes in the bumper for the fog lamps, but being a no-frills fleet truck, they left them out.

Thanks Vincent! My thought on the bumper, since it was the shiniest part on the truck was that it was a recent replacement after the old one was damaged. While the new one came with holes, new lights weren't in the budget.

Exactly. Just like with real trucks, I enjoy hearing the story behind why something looks, or could look, the way it does. Every dent, scrape, or odd part adds history and life. Makes builds unique.
