Adding detail to a boring Norscot tractor...

[Dsquared_sleeperMSP]

Not completely finished, but getting there...what do you think do far? (Dennis Aust headache rack, Stewart air hoses, Plano mirrors, Microscale decals, LoneStar running/parking lights/taillights, custom added lift-axle)

 

[Trucklover]

Id say it looks pretty good!! I need to get some of those airline hoses lol

 

[Dsquared_sleeperMSP]

I plan on buying a crapload more...some people have tried making their own...but I'll gladly spend the $3.25 instead.

Wow that thing looks REAL, the dusty/faded tires are what I like the most about the Pete!

 

[jbaakko]

Awesome work. One nit-pick, the dust on the side of the sleeper, stops abruptly!

 

[bigford]

[lmackattack]

Your boring trucks look a lot better than my boring trucks.

I've been eying that up ever ytime I go into Wallyworld, which isn't often.
It's a wee bit too new for my era but what the heck, rule 1 always in effect!
Nice work!

They sell the Norscot Pete's at Wallmart?!?!?

Nice work. The lift axle really helps fill out the extra long chassis.

For the air lines, you might consider getting a little spool of silver or copper bead wire from your local craft store. Just wrap it around some 1/32" dia. aluminum tube and trim to a suitable length. It's far cheaper than buying any ready made product and the money you save can go into more vehicles.

If you're lucky, yes!

Man my wallmart sucks, they never have anything

The stuff I use doesn't stay so when I handle the vehicle, it disappears.

Oh, you didn't coat it?

 

[Dsquared_sleeperMSP]

Oh, you didn't coat it?

No, because I'm not finished with it. I just wanted to add a little weathering for the pics...

Northern Equipment had them in stock. That's where I got mine.

They look nice. I also think the dirt on the side ends to fast and should fade more. Those airline hoses you mentioned for $3.25, how many do you get for $3.25?

One last think I don't like it the seems on the chrome parts. I just sanded them on one I'm working on and plan to paint the chrome over it. I was thinking of spraying over it myself with chrome spray paint. I hope it goes well.
