Ok, so my Western Star is now complete. Fully hinged and opening doors, removable roof to show interior detail, flocked, air hoses attached ready for hooking up a trailer. Lightly weathered over a custom paint job. Thanks for looking.

Very nice! I especially like the road spray (gray). Excellent build of a rarely seen topic.

Looks great. That custom paint job came out nice!

I'm not just trying to start trouble...

This is just too cool! Can picture it cutting across the "Out-Back" leaving a dust trail 5 miles long. Great Job!

Love the coil lines in the back!!! Is it me or does the grill on this truck remind anyone else of the truck in Over The Top, a terrible Sly Stallone movie from the 80's....

Thanks

Terriffic work. Wow. Love the details - the opening storage compartiment, the trailer cables, the interior... Great work. It's great to see another big rig here, I'm growing pretty fond of them.

Tim.

Thanks guys. I was at one of my customers today and they had a rig outside with the storage compartment open so got a couple of ideas what are stored in there.
