Beautiful truck, you guys sure like your trucks heavy!

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
Nice looking rims and tires Lou! I love the little grab handles on the hood as well. All the little details really add up.

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
It's about time you posted some pics on here! Probably if you didn't spend so much time texting some guy that was stuck on a boat you could have posted those a day earlier!:eek: They look great Lou! I'm looking for ward to seeing it at the show!

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
good job on the wheels Lou . exactly how I want mine to come out .

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
That baby looks sweet, if you took pics of it in a dirt pile or with trees behind it, you would have a real hard time telling it wasn't a 1:1 truck. That hood and front end came out great, and the wheels look fantastic. Nice work.

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
First of all I want to thank whom every it was for the nomination of build of the month ...Very stiff compitition and some great builds being done these day and thanks again to eveyone for all your comments and encouragement ..Was laid off a few months ago so a bit more time to build but my budget is kind of short ..Got quite abit done on the pacific and a few more nice little surprises on the way .
I made up a chain rack and a set of single railerrs to hang on the rack http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...psb5f835c3.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...psa683192d.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps8476e8fa.jpg A new cab guard ..One that with support the reach of the logging trailer http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps7324badd.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...psd4573bf4.jpg A new set of mirrors with clearance lights installed ..Theres something about the stock tamiya mirror that dont appeal to me ..especialy the 4 screws on the backs ..i modifide the frames a little ..Would of like to get the set that guy in eruope is making but tight budget is kind of holding me back http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps37c06f3b.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps03b6426b.jpg Square fender lights and a Pacific logo crest on the rad support http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...psdf135bcf.jpg And a start on some air tanks http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...psf995104e.jpg Heres a few with the mirrors http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...psce5adc7d.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps05e2e9da.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps46a36cb6.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps27c3a6a5.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps0e010003.jpg |

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
Great looking truck!!!! I love the mirror's, so those mirror's are the one's that come from Tamiya then? Excellent Work!!! If i may ask i haven't seen the one's from europe you talked about, is there a site to see them at? Thank You.

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
Thanks Trucker Jo and Mike ..Mike just the wire frame is from tamiya .For the light i ran only 1 wire and the other wire was attached to the inner side of the metal mirror ..the second conection will be attached to the lower wire frame threads inside the door .so basicly im using the metal frame as one wire ..have to make sure the + side never makes contact with the frame .I added the extra cross brace by glueing it with JB weld ..Check these out ..These are wicked http://www.lkwmodellbauberlin.1a-shops.eu/

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
Fabulous craftsmanship and detail. Great job Lou! A true working beauty. Many of the trucks that are on here don't often get dirty, this is a true down and dirty beauty.

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
I saw and liked your truck on build of the month but never got around to reading your build thread till now and I must say Lou, I'm a big fan of details and craftsmanship and this truck has it big time! Great work, can't wait to see what's next:cool:

Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
What a difference from first pictures. From a stock vehicle now a realy prptp looking truck model. Do like the spoke wheels a lot, a real workhorse should have those! And also those steps on fuel tanks.
Congrates to a really nice model, guess it will be better with more details like the airtanks. Dan |
Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
really beautiful truck you have there. Those lights in the mirrors are a super addition to a nicely detailed work horse!
|
Re: Daycab workhorse Pacific P510 P
Perfect details, Lou! That cab guard is awesome! The mirrors that Tamiya (and Wedico for that matter) use are just flat out ugly. I really like the small improvements you made to yours. It's defintely miles ahead of the stock pieces. Thanks for sharing the trick for fitting the bulbs inside the mirrors. Great thinking on using the metal frame of the mirror to complete the circuit. I might have to borrow that idea.
