I have always thought the Tom Daniel Hemi Semi was too plain and needed an upgrade. I bought the kit years ago. Once in a while I would look at it and wonder what I could do to make it better. Cutting, piecing, chopping, and adding, I did this in a couple of weekends. I added MV lenses to the front and rear, a sleeper, rearview mirrors, Bare Metal Ultra Bright Foil, paint, Skull Gear decals, and a highway base and called it quits After shaking the box, out it came! Hope you enjoy it as mush as I did building it. ;D

Wow, that is fantastic Keith! Far and away the best Hemi Semi build I've ever seen! Excellent job on the decals, they fit perfect and really accentuate the "posture" of the cab & trailer. Love the added base and sleeper too, awesome!

Thanks guys. It was a fun build. The decals kind of dictated the color choice for me, I did use a ton of BMF. LOL My eyes are so bad I have to have a lot of light to do the trimming, but the foil was so reflective I could hardly see where to cut sometimes. The sleeper and air foil were simple add ons. The base was just scrap plastic I cut slots in and painted. Overal on the fun meter I'd give this one an 8. There are more in the works..................................... ??

Great work Keith. You've really brought this kit to life. The decals are great. Now you've got to put some smoke on those wheels!
