Sam I am

I really like that Lonestar day cab. 

Love it! The color combo really sets it off.

Thanks everyone! 

Jim, I dont think the house is big enough for a diorama.  😄

This one I started yesterday.  Another well built old build. Almost no paint or glue. In just a few hrs I had it pretty much blown apart.  Now I have to figure out what color I want it. 😁

The second one is this Watkins Kenworth.  Another well built older build up that was in a pile of parts. Fortunately the half a dozen or so missing parts I had in my parts boxes.

I have the chassis finished and added some wash to the grille and HD high beams. 

I have a few restorations going from old built ups that I traded/ebayed over the years. This one was highly modified with a stretched frame, scratch built sleeper, different engine with wiring, custom painted stripes including hand painted pinstripes,  and a fully articulating rear suspension.  It has been a challenge to restore.

This is my second ever big rig built. Five years apart from each other...and both Chevies. The Bison was a joy to build but the Titan fought me the whole way. Still need to find some generic company door logos for both of them.

Drop deck gorgeous! 

Thanks guys ! If this is my only addiction, I can live with it. 😄

That is so cool !

That is quite the inspiration.  You will do an awesome job! 

Hey Jim,  good to see you !

I am currently plugging away on a couple of restorations.  

Hope mine turns out half as nice when I get to it. 

Hey all, 

Been a closet model truck fan for decades but built my first one about five years ago, then boxed everything up and moved 1400 miles, then built my second one last month. lol

My father-in-law drives truck, and has for over half of his 74 years. The last 35+ have been behind the wheel of a dump truck, first was a 1983 Mack, and  Kenworth since 1996, his current ride being a 2017 T800. I have collected most of the needed parts to replicate both the Mac and the Kenworth. He also drove for CF years ago and I have collected things for that as well.  I also came across a huge collection of truck stuff five years ago. So I am pretty much set for life when it comes to trucks. 

I actually bought a set of fenders five years ago from the parts store but just found out about the forum today. I  have been building models since I was 5 but consider myself a total ignoramus when it comes to trucks. I look forward to watching, learning, and hopefully being able to contribute some, to what looks like a site full of valuable information.
