Couple haulers from different eras

[putsie]

Finished up a 9900i over the weekend. Hope to build a B train setup for it down the road. Used my farms real truck as the influence. Started with a Liberty Classic model that as you can see had a high rise sleeper. Aside from the obvious mid rise conversion and re-paint, I added a dcp fifth wheel to the frame, traded the stock wheels for a set of Ertl's, and some chrome foil detailing.

Before...


... And after.




My real truck.


The (still under construction) 57 Fargo 700 has had the frame stretched and a box completely scratchbuilt with removable tailgate and sides for different chores around the farm. Finishing details including a hoist is still needed to finish, but the paint was shot on this past weekend so it's feeling closer to finished.

I need to get you a backdrop with a Timmy Hortons in it, and I would be able to tell which of the Semis in real

Yeah I really need to get a couple small display scenes built for taking finished pics. Tim Hortons and a Coop store.... that's about all you need isn't it?

Both rigs are excellent. I really like that IH you did. Neat and clean, well done.

Thanks guys. Don't do many trucks, but I'm happy with them.
