I'm really digging this one.  With the headlights and all the rounded edges on the hood, it reminds me of a 50's pick-up truck.

Looking good CB.  Will that hood fit other ROG 359s?

Making some progress on my "Unfinished Big Rig Model Truck Club" (FB group) build-off truck. Sort of a resto-mod. Rear suspension from the Italeria FLD 120 and my attempt at an N14 made from the same kit's engine. Still lots to do and learn as I go along.

Almost finished with the master.  Need to slick them up a bit; then on to making the mold.

Welcome to the site.  I'm sure we can work through the language barrier.  After all, we all speak model trucks. 

Awesome!  Would you mind sharing a few images of the B model as well?

Thanks for sharing!  I love the concept and the detail.  Simply awesome.

What door hinges did you use?

Nice build.  Was the spare tire holder from the kit or did you scratch build it?  Either way, very cool.

That's a good looking combo!  The visor is sweet.  Is it stainless steel?

Nice.  I'd say that the 1/32 tank is the perfect size for that truck.

Sounds like an interesting project.  I look forward to seeing updates.

Very nice.   I really like the color choice.

Good to hear that you are still above the frost line.  If not for you and Anthony, this place would be ghost town.  Maybe others will eventually join but I am beginning to wonder.

I'll be throwing a set of those on my COE Freightliner WIP.

I had not.  Thanks again!  There is a lot of great stuff on their page.

It's a half arsed attempt at an N-14 Cummins. In reality it's an NTC Cummins minus the after-cooler and crossover pipe. The Ford I just built has the same engine, I scratched a new valve cover for it.

 

Thanks!  That's what I thought it might be but I knew that if it was, it wasn't quite right.  Looks like I have some scratch building to do as well.

Anyone know which engine is in the Italeri Freightliner FLD 120 kit?

That sounds like a good idea, I like that direction

Check your PMs. 

Excited to watch this one progress.

Another beauty!

Looks like it recovered well.  Nice build.  Thanks for the update!

How do I delete images that have been uploaded to the gallery? I no longer wish to have any images in the gallery.

Check your PMs

Since I have so many irons in the fire and haven't had much of an opportunity to build, I thought I would share a few renders of the 3d trucks I have built over the years. 

Thanks for sharing Earl.  It is nice to see a set on a truck.  Maybe I will get something built of my own to throw them on one day.

Welcome to the site guys.  If you have any suggestions to improve the place, please let me know. 

Very nice.  Nice weathering.
