This model is built from my memory of the rigs in Utah which used to run the Saltaire Route out across the desert into Nevada, from Salt Lake City. The model represents an old retired Sinclair Road Boss used to haul tanker out across the flats and beyond. When I lived in Utah many years back Sinclair Petroleum had a Refinery in Bonneville out by the Great Salt lake on refinery row and I seen truck such as these all the time. Though the Road Boss wasn't around yet I thought I would take my build into the mid 70's and use it as the basis. She is heavily weathered with white colored acrylic and a concrete color to represent the fine Salty dust which accumulated on the rigs driving the route. This salty dust also made for some pretty heavy rust and corrosion on these rigs and a new one would look like a thirty year old after a couple of runs. Below are the results of that build.     |

Neat old beater she is.
Looks better than most of the real Road Boss's still together these days.

I think you've done it once again. Captured a look and put it into a model.
Love it!

Nice build of the old Boss!! I had one in the day, still have pieces around in my scrap bins, I ended up using the cab to restore a White Western Star-yeah, before AMT re-released the unit!! Hauling what it did sure make them get ugly quick!!
