Figured I would share another project that I just recently completed after working on it for nearly a year! It started out as a Kenworth T880 dump truck from First Gear. I removed the dump box and replaced it with a resin water body. I then scratch built all detail components from brass. Super happy to have this one finally complete! I have added some in-progress phots of this one shown below. Thanks for looking!

That is some real good work. Do you have the tools at home to seamlessly bend the brass pipes and machine the other parts? Also the pipe connectors look chrome plated. How did you do that.

Thanks! I do have a workshop space setup. Most of this was done using basic tools (dremel, hand saw, mitre box, vice, files, etc.) I do not have a super elaborate setup with lots of tools, although I did purchase a disk sander last year and it has got to be one of the best purchases I have made! For the pipe connections and spray heads, I used rustoleum chrome spray paint.
