Well I finally got one of my planned projects running...

My King Hauler came in yesterday, so I plan to build it during down time at the military show I have my M35's at. I did, however, cut off the sleeper and fill in the back of the cab and the sunroof today so the putty would be nice and solid before I paint it.

The plans for the truck were to make it a day cab Kenworth T800H/W900B hybrid, along with a headache rack and a full function light kit and possibly sound unit installed. The MFU is not an option with the sleeper removed, it houses all the electronics. I probably will not change out the headlights so there are four just yet, I'll leave it until I have the other parts then just modify it later.

Sooner or later I'll construct a Fontaine Specialized lowboy trailer with the jeep and trailing bogie for it, and if I can get my hands on one a Mammoth dump truck to put on the trailer.

The photos won't be large this time round, with the amount I have and the 24k connection speed it'll take too long with anything else. There will be no update pictures after today until about Monday night, as I do not have internet access where the military show is held so I will not be able to publish photos to the web.

What are you using for the panels to fill in the cut area (the whiter of the white parts) ?

Sheet styrene, that particular stuff is 1.0mm thick and is made by Evergreen Scale Models. I buy most of my structural shapes and special sheet plastic from Plastruct, along with their Weldene glue, etc. but I like Evergreen's sheet plastic better.

I probably have enough sheet to cover a 10ft. square table, and I one of those tool totes full of structural shapes and irregular sheet plastic...
