Well I gotta work bench. whenever I go out to the shop and get comfortable to use it, the wife comes out there and asks me if I can do the same thing inside.

hehehe Yeah I get that too! But I am now making my new bench to work on. Did make my blueprint table to start making different blueprints for sale or give away.

Thanks yall. Yes, she knows I'm on the table. She gets a little miffed when I spill some paint or glue, but she's ok with it overall.

That looks pretty cool.  See, I knew you could do it.  Just do what you can and go from there.

You would seem to be pretty darn handy.

Here is some more progress. This is about as far as I can go before buying something, so I am at a stopping point for a bit.

Yes, I am going to add it all. 30 bucks?!?!?!  I'm lookin at this:

Thanks for the info on the Hartland stuff, though. I will keep it in mind. Right now though, my budget calls for some cheapness. LOL

So far looks great

The devil is in the detail so I've learned. Just take your time with it, dont rush it, and have fun first and foremost. I studied lots of critters on line to see what details to include on mine.

Are you planning to add cab details?

Does it have the motor block? HLW sells the Mack Block for about $30 bucks, check out there website

Since I have some motivation, but no track, I turned my attention elsewhere. I have a Hartland Mack frame a good friend sent me some time ago. I teamed that with some MDC Hustler detail parts including two cabs and various other parts. I used one cab intact, and the other I sectioned up and made into the hood. The hood turned out pretty cool, since the door openings are perfect for the hood openings now. Here's what I have so far.
