Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
Thanks for compliments guys. I'm trying to stay focused on the small details. This build has encouraged me to revisit my other stuff and add detail. Yesterday I did some stuff on the Euc and replaced some screws on the Volvo with scale bolts.
Nate, the red handle on the ball valve is shrink tube. Gives it the rubberized look.
My Dad put me in touch with the second owner of the real truck and he has some more photos of it for me. May be too late to add or change some things but hopefully it will help to display the model at shows. At any rate I'm excited to see some more photos of our local logging history.
Last November we took a trip up island to see my future sister inlaw and her boyfriend. He is a woods foreman for WFP so he took us out to see their current logging sites. One of the new roads was 30% grade! He said that only a couple of the drivers would haul on it, the rest didn't want anything to do with it! Scary steep and very narrow!
