I have to say that it looks great so far!
Keep up the great work!

Here's final update before finished. Patiently waiting for things to dry to add smoke stacks and some lights.

Looks really good! Here is an idea for the silver strip that goes around the cab, why not use some of that aluminum duct tape? I bought a whole roll at walmart a few months back and gives the look of chrome.

I looked into that. But duct tape had that rigged type texture to it; I'd want it to be smooth like paint.

looks really nice bud, very well executed, now just get that stripe on there!

this project really brings me back to the days of building models. Now I wanna find one of these.

I'm actually having a lot of fun with it too. I mean it's been years since I've done one..and now doing it as an adult and actually trying to have something come out like really professional and well made..it's just as much fun. I kinda want to do more now...hmm, make an entire G1 line up of models!

And DONE!...I think..







I'm debating adjusting the smoke stacks to have them be wider apart and on the back of the cab like G1 Primes...although this is more accurate. And also debating adding actual truck stickers and license plate etc that came too..they even have an Oregon one..What do you all think?

Nice work!
