Whiskymack Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Hello All,I've rambled about on this site a few times before and finally got around to joining.I love older Macks, R models especially, but sadly I have no truck of my own and probably never will unless I win the lottery!Instead I content myself with building models of them. This is my RS700L made famous by 'Convoy'I'm now working on a '78 Valueliner.Many thanks for letting me join.

other dog Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Me too, it does look real! Thanks for joining. That's amazing- I have trouble putting a stamp on an envelope by myself.

Olivetroad Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 That thing looks real! I am amazed at the patience that must take. I would rather chop cedar sprouts on a rocky hillside with a dull axe than try and sit down long enough to do that - you have a real talent!

Whiskymack Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 Thanks for the nice comments. Myself, I'm amazed at the work some of you guys on this forum do on full sized trucks. I'm just about ok with the odd minor cosmetic fix on the car but I'd never dare tackle anything bigger than a push bike for a full restoration! Models I can handle though.You're right umodelnut. That is the Billboard Ernest Borgnine went through in the Chevelle.
