Re: Volvo VN780 king sleeper made in France

The Volvo looks great!!! I agree the matching pain on the motor looks good! all the details you have put in this truck are awesome!

Re: Volvo VN780 king sleeper made in France

Such flawless bodywork! It really shows off nicely in the sun. How did you make metal trim around the hood vents? Looks really nice!

Re: Volvo VN780 king sleeper made in France

This truck is amazing!!!! The headlights turn out perfect, and great job on the hood vents.

I'm very impressed by the body work you did, I wish I had skills like that.

Re: Volvo VN780 king sleeper made in France

Man this rig just keeps getting better and better every time I check the thread. This thing is just plain old sexy. Keep the updates coming I'm always looking forward to them.

I too would love to know how you managed such a tight turning radius on your front wheels?

Re: Volvo VN780 king sleeper made in France

those earlier photos I would SWEAR that it was actual size sitting in a driveway rather then on a patio table!

Re: Volvo VN780 king sleeper made in France

Wow that is sooooooo cool! Coolest looking aerodynamic style truck I have ever seen. The chrome mirror stuff is the ticket I can't wait to try that technique. Also for the bumper did you use a stock batterybox/step? Its awesome. Your styrene work is one of the best I have ever seen. :D
Keep it up.

Re: Volvo VN780 king sleeper made in France

What a great build! Nice work it does look like a real one from that angle. Awesome color scheme!

Re: Volvo VN780 king sleeper made in France

Like I told you Stephen on the other sight AWESOME nice work buddy..
