Now that the Wacky Racer is nearly finished I have started to crack on with the truck and here's the progress: The main chassis has been painted, the front suspension and steering has been mounted along with the rear suspension. Sorry about the pictures there abit dark: I'm going for a show truck look rather than a working so I have chromed the air tanks to give it some bling.

I was just about to pick up on the shiny tanks lol then I read the last line.
Just a quick tip, the photos are good, but you need a light background for a dark subject.

More progress has been made: The exhaust system is all in and all chrome, the fifth wheel is in place and all the air tanks are sorted and blinged ;D: I need to get some decent lighting sorted but hopefully the next pictures the chassis should be complete and I will take some outside

Although Fatty has give me his cold and I have not been feeling like I want to do a great lot I have managed to get lots more done to the truck . Apart from the fuel tank and rear lights the chassis is complete: I really do like the KFS wheels, they finish the model off really well: And now started on the next stage, the cab: Have a Merry Christmas everybody!

We are nearly there, not done much posting recently but have been beavering away at the models and the Volvo is almost complete. There's a little bit of paint to touch up and try and straighten out a bent panel (which you will see below), a few decals and roof lights to finish off. The bodywork did not want to sit right at all but this side is not to bad: happy with the back end: But the panel between the wheels on this side is bent and sticks right out so got to get some strong glue to hold it in:

Nice job mate. I personally would have left the side panels off, they can be a bugger to fix.
