tbill Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 Here is my opening post for the build off, pic of the kits I’m using
JerseeJerry55 Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 Bring it I can’t wait to see it come to life.
Sam I Am Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 Time to tag everyone's build so I can follow along. ?
tbill Posted January 2, 2020 Author Posted January 2, 2020 Thanks guys, I’ve built 3 of the trailers before, but have not built the rig kit before, I’m sure it’ll be standard italeri fare as far as frame/engine goes. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one at a show, and maybe only one here. Should be a fun build.
CRUSADER2 Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 This will be a good build to follow, just a thought though, are the Ford and trailer the same scale?

tbill Posted January 3, 2020 Author Posted January 3, 2020 Well then, you can say you saw it here first , haha. It is officially started...

They aren’t , but, I ‘think’ it’s going to be close enough to get away with it. The last 1/24 italeri rig I did I paired with AMT’s flatbed trailer, and it looks pretty good.
Bills72sj Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 I have one of those Aeromax 120s. I will be following.
vettecote Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 You did great on the Western Star! Can't wait to see this one progress!...Joe
Pete68 Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Bill I liked yours so much I had to buy one in 1/32 scale
Oldmopars Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 That sleeper is huge! Family sized. I love this truck, looking forward to seeing it progress.
tbill Posted January 8, 2020 Author Posted January 8, 2020 Thanks all, been plugging away on this. In no particular order ( cause my pics always show up out of order) , got frame painted, cab/hood/sleeper in primer and interior bits of said parts are in a coat of mythical maroon, and the engine has a coat of color on it. Decided to make the engine slightly dirty on this one, not horrible, but some grime. Thanks for following along, should have a roller by the weekend I think.
