John, I love these big rigs unfortunately the lack of space is my problem.

I have only four, two I made, two I purchased: 1953 Ford F-750 Big Job, 1956 Ford C.O.E. F-750, 1967 PB, and a '76 KW (that I didn't know was the B.J. & the Bear truck until months after I bought it ).

The last two are nice, but I'm partial to the magnificent modification work of the first two from "The Professor!"

Thanks Marty. I appreciate that you consider me as "The Professor," but I feel more like Gilligan! 🙄 🙄

"Gilligan" didn't teach me a ton of stuff about diecast modification. However, The Professor did! I've learned sooooooo much!Thanks Marty. I appreciate that you consider me as "The Professor," but I feel more like Gilligan! 🙄 🙄

One from across the sea:
Roadkings released 2022 the diecast "Krupp Titan" ca. 1950, the model is about 60 cm long and weighs 30 pounds.
4 versions were available: German Federal Railways, "Dachser", "Baumann" forwarders and a plain blue one.

I've seen these but don't own any. Schuco makes some nice rigs too! So...these 1/18 Krupp Titans really weigh 30 POUNDS each? Wow, that's incredible! 😬 😬 My two heaviest 1/18 models are a 4-car trailer set-up (the '58 Fords are fixed ) and a WW II German Panzer tank. They weigh 10.5lbs & 14.5lbs respectively.

This Mack truck is from the movie "Convoy" staring Kris Kristofferson and Ali McGraw.

I figured something like that, thanks. I like the stock version of this Mack. I may just have to get it... 🤔 🤨 🤔 (I know, you probably have 2 on the way.... 😀 😀)

@chris: 30 pounds also seems a bit much to me, but the ads of the dealers say so.
I would think about half that is realistic...
