Swamp Dog Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 i am calling this one a done deal , i think..lol..the more i look at it the more i want to add..anyhoo this all started with the T600 AMT kit stretched and added a 3rd axle flowing a conversion hood (t800) from Daniel Gailloux of plaskit ..the front tires-rims ,front end, all light liens and glad hands are also from plaskit....chain binders come from Ben Wicker at class A resin...visor, bumper guide light's and stacks come from Rhino's custom truck parts....snatch blocks, D hook's radio and clipboard comes from Sandy Mcguire casters...winch ,fire extinguisher , mirrors and hood swan comes from A.I.T.M. ... the bed, winch tower and bumper is 100 % scratch built using plastruct and evergreen ..the water cooler was made out of a fishing rod and a cap from the tube of zap super glue..added detail a broom, shovel ,cheater pipes and a pry bar..
Jim B Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 That's really sweet! Great looking heavy hauler. Don't think I've erer seen a T800 with a grill like that.
Petetrucker07 Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Nice build. Great weathering. Good lookin KW
Kenny B Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 David, Very nice clean build. Lots of detail to it. Everytime I look at it I notice something else you did.Very nice work. The glad hands look like the trailer side is attached? Ken.
slusher Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Real impressive. Some really good work on this build.

guitarsam326 Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 HI David, first of all I love your builds, i like a lot of the same subject matter, but anyways, I'm thinkin of building a t800 and I was curious as to how well the cab is cast, as well as the fit of the cab, thanks in advance!
Tesla Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Another great looking addition to the fleet. Nice weathering and details!
Superpeterbilt Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Excellent job. I love seeing a whole slew of parts from different vendors brought together. Its truly the great thing about this hobby.
tbill Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 another fabulous build! all the little 'extras' are just pure dynamite, just fantastic!
