This is the last blog of the Peterbilt truck. I made 200 picture,s (didn,t use them all) That means an average of slightly more than 10 picture,s per blog entry. The blog took some time but in relation to making the two logging trucks it wasn,t that much. Tomorrow I will ask my daughter to make some project pictures but below the preview:

As mentioned before tomorrow hopefully more pictures for label Project. For that reason you may also wait with comments

Thanks for watching.

Thank you guys for all kind words.

Before I started building this trucks never had heard of Peterbil. Now I know it,s part of PACCAR. And PACCAR is also the owner of DAF (DAF is a Dutch brand)

G'Day Dutchy,
The trucks look magnificent sir, a credit to your craftsmanship….

I for one, do very much appreciate all the time and effort to not only build these beautiful models/toys BUT extra time and effort it took to photograph each set of steps, make & to write up some excellent notes….

This all goes to your credit of paying it forward, showing someone else how it was done, encouraging them that they too could have a go and along the way enjoy the relaxing, rewarding pass time of toy and model making at the woodwork bench in the shed….

VERY WELL DONE SIR… FIRST CLASS EFFORT AND FIRST CLASS RESULT…..THANK YOU......

One other thing Dutchy,
While we don't have a lot of Peterbilt Trucks in Australia, they are the Rolls Royce of Primemovers across the USA and for my money one beautiful rig….
I built a toy/model of a 1988 379 Peterbilt with sleeper plus a dropdeck trailer for my grandsons to play which started from on beautiful black rig I saw on the highway "Living the Dream".....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peterbilt

Peterbilt Motors Company, founded in 1939, is an American manufacturer of medium- and heavy-duty Class 5 through Class 8 trucks headquartered in Denton, Texas. Peterbilt operates manufacturing facilities in Denton, Texas (1980), and Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec. From the early 1960s until the mid-1980s, the company was based in the San Francisco Bay Area of Northern California, with its headquarters, and main plant all in Newark, California. The Newark plant closed in 1980 and consolidated manufacturing at its facilities in Denton, TX and Madison, TN. In 1980 headquarters and engineering also moved to Denton. The Nashville plant was closed in 2009.

Wonderful job Dutchy! I was amazed at how detailed some of the pieces are and how you created them. I can only dream of building something like that one day

What do you do with them now? Do you build them for yourself? As gifts? Do you sell them?

Hi Dutchy
being new to lumberJocks I was looking at the transport section and was glad to find your blogs. I make toys for the young and being now retired I am going to attempt some more advanced (I hope) after seeing your models. Seeing you mentioning DAF I was hoping to see it been made. European are sadly lacking so that could be a start. Thanks for your blogs, it gives us mere mortals hope
