Thanks, Tim. I prefer the roll off truck myself. I notice an adjustment or two
that I ned to make to the dump truck. Regarding the mirrors, I think so.
Thanks for raising my awareness of them. :o)

Thanks. I was taking the photo's of the trucks and then saw that they were
coming out really nicely so I ran with it and took more. The street side
details are coming along slowly. I am actually thinking of putting thread as
telephone wires in there as well.

Ah, yes, I had seen this done before as well. I think I'll give it a try on
some future vehicles. What I have seen of the heavy duty construction vehicles
is that their front wheels are usually much larger than the dual rear wheels. I
figure it is for driving on mud and gravel and such while carrying a heavy load.
Your mention of Misterzumbi: I actually built his bus about a month ago and learned so much from doing that. That is an amazing moc.
Thanks again,
Jonathan
