This is looking pretty good. I like the rivets and the Plaskit gladhands. Awesome detaiing going on here.

Thanks Kevin, hope to make it down to Lindsay in a few weeks (maybe Saturday of the July long weekend?), lettering and detail painting started. Brake drums I wanted to try rusting with a rust antiquing system sold at Michael's craft stores, local outlet doesn't carry it so traditional baking soda and rust coloured paint, Badger Modelflex roof brown in this case, was used.  |

Just about there, lettering and stripes added along with mudflaps and most of the lights/reflectors. Amber lights along roofline still to go on. Stripes cut from yellow and blue Microscale decal film.  Close up showing lift axles raised. FRP texture shows up well, some more work with clear to blend decal film in still needed.  |

Thanks guys, it will be a while before any shows (September), a couple detail shots I forgot to post earlier: Air tank drain pull cords made from light monafilment line and a slice of aluminum tube for the crimp connector. A bit oversize but any smaller and human hands wouldn't be able to assemble it even with tweezers!  Another tank drain pull visible, also chain to keep spare tire in place. A-line 27 links per inch, I used an HO scale eyebolt (sold as lift rings for diesel locomotive hoods) on the tire carrier for a place to attach the chain.  |
