Scott very nice job. Every time you do one you add a little more and make it better keep it up. Ed

Great job on the rims and truck so far. Is that a Sherline lathe? I need to get a lathe of some sort.

I'm not up on truck models other then the semis, so if you don't mind what was the donor for the frames, diffs, axles, etc?

I think you should build a tag trailer and pull your Bruder track loader. I think they would fit well together. Thanks.

Thank You. Yes, it is a Sherline lathe. The transmission & axles are from a venom mini giant truck (1/16 scale) and the rest is made out of various aluminum stock.

The mirrors, steering wheel & mud flaps are all done. Now it just needs paint.





I like the looks of the swinging mud flaps. Here is a short vid:
