[Crossy]

Hi :D


Very loving thanks to you all:D:D

My Peterbilt will be painted as the original truck

Klick me (http://http://www.tenfourmagazine.com/Clints/2008/10.html)

The modular frame is 10 cm longer compared to the original Tamiya. The profile of U are Veroma. The frame is constructed self-construction and new.

And the caps are frome verkerk Modelbouw

I've tinkered a bit further.

Hood, sun visor and a sixth Position lamp on the roof have been added.

This is what the current status of the things.

[Crossy]

Hello:):)

Thank you for the nice compliments.:D

@glorydays24
Thank you. Yes, the sun visor, I myself have built. Have you made ​​of plastic. There is a lot of sanding and filling.:D:D:D

@Bsorenson79
The rear hubs are from Verkerk Modelbow. Here is the link to it.

@Brian in PA
Thank you.
The caps I made ​​of plastic details. I have removed the original strip on the hood and ground down the middle. The new detail is produced on a 0.5 mm thick and 14mm wide strips. The 5 bars to 1 mm wide and are each 1mm apart and 0.5 mm high. Left and right to remain still for the 2.5 mm rivets strips. The rivets are made of brass and have a head of 1.6 mm.


It went with me now a little further. Unfortunately, one has to work only limited time to tinker.;)


First, my good friend my new air filter was filmed on a lathe. Are you fully made ​​of aluminum material. The hoses for that I'm bent out of plastic pipe and O-rings drawn. The entire tube was then subsequently Covered with black shrink tubing.

The new fuel tank, I made ​​tanks from the old orginal Tamiya. I removed the first thing the Chrome and have fixed glued the end caps. Everything was Stuffed several times and ground. The new tank straps are fixed by the company and keep the Wedico tanks to the frame.

When Sleeper I built a new rear wall. She is also the result of plastic and was grounded after the fitting several times and leveled. The rivets are the same as from the hood. You have a head diameter of 1.6 mm. Also have 2 handles and 4 beautiful taillights found your place on the back wall.

Now, there are first pictures

Hi Sven,

it looks good, I love the fuel tanks

Günther ;)

[SWAGGER]

VERY Realistic, when this is painted, the right angle and perspective in a photo could really fool people into thinking that this is a 1:1. Nice!

[Stepside]

Looking great! X2 on the fuel tanks! :cool:

The truck looks great!! I was wondering where you got the red lens for the back of the sleeper?

[gungunhl]

Nice back, simple and efficiant. Good job with the rivets. ;)
I would think about the backlight to bring it up the top.

@ Bsorenson79:
I cn help - you will get them in a german shop: http://www.fechtner-modellbau.de/shop/index.html

[hammer]

Tony

[CorbettTrailers]

Sven, The tanks look Stupendous!! Great Job! You really make that White truck and Eye catcher. You have any plans for Lights? I can't wait to see what you come up with next!!

[Crossy]

Hello people:):):)
Many Thanks for the nice replies.;)
It was, unfortunately, at present reluctant to continue with the build, because I was able to experience an eternal up and down with my girlfriend.:(

I started by the drive shaft through an industrial drive shaft replaced from silver steel. The new tires from the company Modelbouw Verkerk of the Netherlands have a really good mix A small rubber tip I'd say. The lettering on the tires, I've repainted with white paint to make it look sporty. The new rear fender, I made ​​a double fender made ​​'. I had him cut up the middle and the rest filed. The result are the copies to be seen. The owners are also their own production. The black color only Kontrpll paint is because I made the roof. The truck is painted soon.:cool:

Now there are pictures of the first current truck.

Now for the painting.

I've presented this painting. Only the Mint green is replaced with a Candy Blue. the frame is also in Candy Blue. He will get a blue underbody lighting on the sides and plenty of yellow LEDs.
There is still much to do.

Ideas about ideas, criticism, new, or something else has to do with the topic, joy I am.

Greetings Sven

[SWAGGER]

You really do some great work Sven. Well done!

If I may suggest, without causing offence; use Google translator: http://translate.google.com/
It will work much better for you. Whatever you are using at the moment does not work very well, it's hard to understand what you are saying.

Servus,
Steve.

not positive but in the first paragraph he says he is using google translator
but the pictures are great and hope you post more for us to see the rest of build

[MoRockN]

Looks soo freaking amazing, now I wanna stretch mine.

[Espeefan]

I really like those rivets. For anyone trying to model a Peterbilt like this, they really make all the difference in the world! It's one of the best detail touches I think anyone could add. Great looking truck.

[Crossy]

Good morning:D:D


Thanks for the nice answers. You are great
Apology for my bad English:rolleyes:. To the translated one I take the Goggle translator. That only unfortunately ejects many errors:mad:. Does someone know a better translator?

Greeting Sven

[sgt hopkins]

Great looking rig... I dont really know what to say though. It all looks good, the rivets, the visor, the hood detail, the fenders, even the shrink tube idea is awesome. Good job!

I guess I did know what to say :D

[SWAGGER]

Good morning:D:D

Greeting Sven

That's weird that it doesn't work well for you. I went onto bmw.de and copied a paragraph in German and then pasted it into Google Translator. It translated it into perfect English for me. Not to worry, we can see exactly what you are doing anyway and as I said, your work is excellent!

Freundlichen Grüßen
Steve.

[cabrover]

Very nice build Sven, That is a real eyecatcher!!:cool:Welcome aboard!!
Tim

[dabears]

Your truck is coming along nice!! Im going to hve to find a translator to read the website with the lights..... Im german but i cant read it or speak it. :(

The truck is not done yet.

Very loving greeting Sven

[dabears]

It looks perfect sitting on the white frame! Very sharp looking truck!!!

[mateau]

Gday mate nice details n good paint. Luv that

Cheers

[hauler_10-4]

Great details,like the color scheme.

[Diesel Demond]

that is one bad pete that white frame makes it stand alone and gives it the old school look forsure!!

[plow jockey]

Nice color chioce,truck looks great,good job.

[SWAGGER]

Never seen a white frame before, it looks INCREDIBLE! This is one of my favorite builds now, looks fantastic.

[BRICKNICK]

The truck looks great. Nice job on the color choices.

[doodlebug]

:D:D:D:D

Cheer's, Neil.

[Espeefan]

Nice looking truck! The marker/turn signals just in front of the fenders are awesome! Where did you ever find those?

[petermoblin]

Looks really good. Love all the details like the ground effects, wood wheel and the stone guards with the lights in them.

[Claus]

One of the great King Hauler/Peterbilt conversions! If I could do work this good I probably wouldn't have bought Wedico.

[JoseFL10-4]

nice truck

[russisloud]

nice! i really like how the blue leds look on the white frame

[Bigrigger]

That is one phenomenal truck! I love the added bits of realism, like the wheel hubs and mahogany steering wheel. The paint job is also a spectacular element of this build! Very well done!

[tbtrucking104customs]

where did you get the head lights/grille at? Thats what I need for my truck but don't know where to get them.
