Rockford Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 This is a cross between the Monogram (cab) and AMT (chassis) 1/32 snap kits. I've wanted a single sleeper K100 in 1/32 for a long time so had to butcher an Aerodyne and shorten the chassis to suit. See my WIP on the De-Aerodyned K100 for the gory details. Proportions are just right to me. Perfect US cab over. Who needs 1/25 when you can spend 15 months making a snapper look passable? 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug 1061 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Beautiful work. I have looked at 1/32 truck kits but the 1/25 parts seem to get smaller every year....... Very nice photography also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockford Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 I know what you mean Doug. I spend half of my time crawling around the floor looking for stuff I've dropped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockford Posted April 28 Author Share Posted April 28 Thanks mate. I must admit I do get a buzz from it. Classic K100 look about it, just what I intended. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noah H. Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 That's a beautiful truck, the detail and quality of that build makes it appear like it is in 1/25 rather than 1/32. Great work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Monday Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 That looks stunning but boy does it look like it was a LOT of work. Was it your most challenging build to-date or have you put even greater effort into another build? The second trailer of the three looks just right behind this K100 (IMHO).

Rockford Posted November 26 Author Share Posted November 26 Thanks for the kind words. My work pales into insignificance alongside some of the jobs I see on here. It was a challenge but I think either of my two W900s were harder. The Aerodyne because I decided to open the hood and build a Cummins and then Sonny Pruitt's truck because it was such an important truck to me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jürgen M. Posted December 2 Share Posted December 2 Looks perfect Steve! A classic American truck. The cab reduction looks just great. Even when you know it was shortened and "de-aerodyned" you can't see it. Very precise and clean job! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BK9300 Posted December 3 Share Posted December 3 You really do make all your builds way better than what the kits offers up out of the box - excellent work! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete68 Posted December 13 Share Posted December 13 Sorry I missed this one Steve another great build in 1/32 scale and transforming it to a more convincing look. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoninUtah Posted December 15 Share Posted December 15 Now that's a beautifully clean build, I'd say the patient survived quite well! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
