dansnow Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) The Kenworth Project is finally finished. Tractor, Flat bed and Reefer. The fifth wheel actually locks, the tandems on the reefer are adjustable and the rear doors function. The interior of the cab is detailed as well. It was a fun project, but kinda glad it's finished, I kept thinking of details to add so it was time to call it. Thanks for looking.

Lucky2 Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Holy smokes Dan, that's an incredible outcome. There is one change I would make, I wold paint the enclosed trailer either silver or white. I think it would look more realistic, if painted one of those two colors. Do you have any pictures of the interior, I can see a bit of the work but not much?

dansnow Posted May 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Unfortunately Len I didn't get many pictures of the interior before I closed it up. I had thought of making the trailer white, but don't really like to use solid paints on wood except for small parts or details. And I kinda like the slightly sinister aspect of the black trailer. This was never intended to be a scale model, but more of a sorta looks like, easily recognizable. And who knows, at some point if it doesn't sell, I might agree with you and make the reefer white! Thank You for the kind words folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
