Wow Charles,

If this isn't a show stopper (and winner), then I don't know what could be. Everything does look so real and the dripping 90w out of the diff is great. The fifth wheel is fantastic as the grease smeared on it, again, looks so real. May I ask how you achieved the rust effects on the plate that the fifth wheel is sitting on? Or is it a real rusted piece of metal…….Totally outrageous stuff here!!!

Thanks a lot for your observation. Here is a short pdf tutorial, I wrote, on how I did the rusty metal plate under the fifth wheel. I made it out of cardboard:

If that was made out of cardboard this build has gone up several more notches in my estimations.....just superb finishing.
