Kenworth K100 Build

[wolfws6]

Just wanted to share that I'm in the early stages of building a K100. I plan on a fully detailed Detroit Diesel engine, sound, lights with full interior. Working front suspension and front bumper height currently.

nice Detroit!!

[frizzen]

Cool body, i'm loving all the detail on that.

Body looks great for a 3d print! I'm not seeing much of the toolpath on there

[skeeter]

Shapeways prints always look great! In my experience, the individual layers are difficult to see on their prints.

[wolfws6]

Thank you Sooooooo Much!!!!!

[wolfws6]

It is not flex loom. It's the end of a Bic grill lighter. Its metal and flexable. :D

[wolfws6]

Update!! Got the interior finished up. All the electronics will sit behind the divider in the picture. I will be read to paint soon!

Nice color scheme :D

[frizzen]

Awesome paint job! That came out beautiful!

A little bit of that silver pinstriped onto the frame in some free hand curly shapes could really set it off

[diesel950]

that looks really good,
same paint scheme as one that was restored a while ago.
just needs a matching trailer

[wolfws6]

Thank you guys! I'm getting there!

Awesome Build!!!!
What did you use for your window material?

[wolfws6]

Thank you all for the kind comments!!

I used globe liner window for this truck. I had to cut the windows down to fit.

[wolfws6]

Done! for the most part!

Awesome trucks!

[Tamiya Cowboy]

The hobby is in good hands with a quality builder like you around to keep raising the bar. Glad I'm in retirement.

[Goes2fast]

Beautiful truck!

[wolfws6]

Thank you for the compliment! Retirement my butt. lolol:D

[liddy102]

Nicely done

[Goes2fast]

Even though I'm not a fan of cabovers or 8V92s (spent too many miles behind the wheel in them) that is a beautiful truck!

[skeeter]

That's a beautiful cabover!

[wolfws6]

That's a beautiful cabover!

Oh man I love this build such a beautiful K100 and all the details are incredible. I might build a k100 soon. Wondering if you could tell me where you got these parts? Heck it's hard to find parts anymore.

Front wheels
Air tank & mounting bracket
Exhaust & air intake bracket

[naz53]

Bring this back up, sweet job! May I ask what front hinge did use for the cab. And also are the front leaf spring mounts (to move them forward) from rc4wd?
Thank you!

[bhaagjr]

Good looking set up.

[trucker n]
