    Very detailed and life like. Any work in progress photos? What materials did you use, what were your biggest challenges, how long did it take? What are its dimensions?
    Do you have any other toys / models you can share with us?

    That is a very impressive model. Did you make it from plans or photos?
    It looks like a nice working environment you have there including airconditioning.

    Thanks for the complements this truck a 1988 mack is the truck i drive for work hauling liquid fertilizer for farm fields so i spend a lot of time in the seat I just took a lot of pictures and measurements and went 1/16 scale it is made from clear redwood probably not the the best material but i have a lot of it the hardest parts were carving the bulldog on the hood at 1/4 inch tall it was hard to make it look like something and the plexiglass windshield heating and bending took a few tries I just started my next build and will take more picture with this one it is a fertilizer applicator with 80 foot booms
