landman Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 I put it here because it is 3 or 5 ton, which I assume qualifies for light commercial. If it should go to the big rigs, please let me know. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted June 13 Author Share Posted June 13 Rounded up some suspension bits including some resin springs that are a bit sorry looking. Cut some hangers from a piece of appropriately shaped sprue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Great looking chassis and interior fabrication. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted June 15 Author Share Posted June 15 (edited) This is more or less how it is going to go on the chassis. This means it is back to the drawing board for the interior. Edited June 15 by landman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenmojr Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Looking forward to more on this cool rig. Is that COE body resin or from a kit? Cheers from Nova Scotia.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted June 23 Author Share Posted June 23 Adjusted the axle levels to provide a more level ride height. Made up some backing for the wheels with the "Use what you got" philosophy. Added some Meng nuts to the front wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotnitro? Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 (edited) Excellent work I got a good chuckle over the automatic fender opener Edited June 26 by gotnitro? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted June 30 Author Share Posted June 30 Nothing fits so rearranged the front sprins so that the axle can be better located and started carving a notch in the firewall to match the doghouse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted July 3 Author Share Posted July 3 Added some detail to the wheels, touch ups required of course. The window patterns are taken. Debating between a Duesenberg dash or a Nascar dash 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I really like where this is going. Medium Duty Rigs seldom get much love from Modelers, so your build stands out! The Quality of your scratch work is a cut above! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNT Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 That is looking great. Where did you get that cab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
