Well I figured anything will get my mojo going it’s an old Mack Bulldog truck. This will be my subject for the GB. It’s a Mack AC “Bulldog” HC3 Canvas truck. 
Lee Drennen’s WWI Mack AC “Bulldog” Canvas Truck
- Thread starter Lee Drennen
- Start date
I will building the early version of this truck. Earlier ones had different Hoods, Radiators, Wood Wheels, Frames, Name Plate Badging and Engines also included with the early versions was an optional chain guard which this kit does not include also this kit does not include the upgraded engine or frame. This is what I have so far. The hood in this kit is very low quality and takes a lot of filling and adjustment to get it to look halfway decent The cab on the other hand fits perfectly well. Please be gentle
Welcome aboard Lee,
Those RPM kits are a little rough, but you can make a great model out of them. Sure is a lot of parts for a 1/72 scaler. Shame you don't get the wagon/trailer with it. Have fun Buddy!!!

Thanks Allen I’ve thought a buying the Cannon that behind this one in the pic Ace has a nice one but it’s a lot of small parts for me to tackle anymore well I may try it.
Hi Lee
Love these old WW1 trucks. I'm sure, as Alan says, a great model can be made from this kit. Some of the parts look very delicate.

Jim. Thanks for stopping by and the complement. They are very delicate and I’m taking my time I’ve build the tanker like this so I know where the dirty little secrets are in this kit
Got the frame built going to let it set up for a bit then I’m going to tweak it and there’s some modifications to be done before I put the axles on do it will set level

You've always done anything with wheels well Lee, so I can see no difference with this .
Taking a seat at the front , bought my own tea !

John. Thanks for the complement. I would offer some Yorkshire but looks like the wife can’t fine any around here. This has been a fun build so far I have some ideas for this when it’s done
Worked on the frame some more going to call it a day with it.
Looks like an quite detailed build. Chain driven axle !
Colin. Thanks yes it is very detailed and delicate to work with but it’s fun I love these old AC Bulldogs
More work done to the Bulldog this is a fun build don’t know why I didn’t enjoy the Mack AC Tanker I built last year guess I wasn’t in the mood. Anyway this is what I got done today
I added the steering linkage it had its moments but worked its self out Next added some more stuff to the cab including the fenders, firewall, grad handles, radiator top and sides. They make a etch set for this I just can’t find on at the moment. I will tweak the wheels when it dries more for straightness

Rick. Thanks for stopping by and the complement probably going to stay box stock on this one but as I was building this the ideas was going crazy through my head for these old 1/72 Mack ACs what I can do with this truck it builds so much easier than 1/87 Jordan miniatures. I’ll probably get some more of these and build a trailer for one making a Civilian one

Good for you Lee, at least you get the damned thing to sit square, that alone is worthy of a :thumb2: in my book. I'm still convinced this chassis building is a dark art !
John. Thanks I had to tweak it but I think I got it. I’ll have more updates tonight it’s ready to paint
Hi Lee,
I have missed this up till now. You are off to a great start.
