well here is the main components. These were scratch built 6 months ago as masters for molding but in the end only the wheels were done.

Here is some photos to tickle your fancy and heaps more in my gallery in my Heavy Haulers album.

enjoy and any questions and comments are welcome.

OK I will be following this and trying to learn from our truck master. Man you are off to a roaring start Mate. All I got done so far is to open the box and start reading the direction!LOL.

Pretty sweat - just one thing - the instruments are on the passenger side! :-) I opened my box today, thats my start!

Cliff
Looks great so far Can't wait to see how this one looks when done

Sorry John to me they are on the "RIGHT" side LOL :-)

Roo, you gotta cut this out. My 60 year old heart can't take too much excitement. This is gonna be a great build. Looking forward to seeing the rest.

Looks good so far Cliff.....
Keep those cards and letter coming...... LOL

I can tell from the start that this'll be another 'Golden Roo' model when complete - look forward to seeing more.

I figure, what the hay, might as well make a post.

Very nice Lord Roo. can't wait to see it finished, in fact, I will have some soft skin to post soon here too.

You never cease to amaze. The overall parts shown on the first pic, and the rear end/springs pic are scratch classics.

For you, excellence has become the norm. I kneel. Nough said.

Ho and Howdy!!

My apologies for arriving here a tad late, but like that ever so great burger joint in California, I've been "In & Out".

First off, this looks like a very cool build there Roo-tabaga. At first glance (before reading your script) I was trying to figure out what kit it was.......well, a Roo's Resin kit of course!

You said: "...These were scratch built 6 months ago as masters for molding but..." Does that mean you are using the 'Masters' to build this project?
All of the pieces look expertly done, especially the wheels/tyres, bonnet and axles....I won't even go into the 'A' pillar cab section. You should really give a class on doing that. And you also did a splendid job of scratching that clear tube with the nifty red cap on it.....very nice. :-)

Can't wait to see the updates Cliff.......oops, what's this I see on the 'Latest Posts'? More updates!........gotta go, seeya!!

Tread.

Gordon nice to see your comments. Yes I am using the masters to build this one as I, in the end, only made molds of the wheels. So this is a one off project apart from a few rough sketches incase I do decide to do another LOL

Cliff, you have been busy, I never dreamed you had the bonnet done, but now looking at it, the best I can figure you done it in 2 pieces, when at first I thought that was going to haft to be poured, but with a master like you, you figured how to do it with plastic.

I never would of thought of this way. I knew you was the right man for this place.
