All the Big Rigs at the Detroit Area Auto Modelers 2024 show

[@roncornell4345]

Thanks for sharing Tim you do a awesome job my friend

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Thank you for the kind words, so glad you enjoy the vids!

[@youngtiger1]

Beautiful display and some talented modelers at that event.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

It was a great show with some amazing talent.

[@Leadfoot-ir8io]

Long live the Big Rigs !

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree!

[@amyschry4129]

WOW! Those are some fantastic looking rigs. Thanks so much for posting this video. The Blatz Beer & Miller Beer rigs made me smile and being from Wisconsin, the various snowplows impressed me a lot but my first job as a teenager was in a truck stop/truck wash so I love the older style rigs from the 60's & 70's especially the cab overs. I'm also partial to the weathered rigs since that's how most of the trucks looked when they stopped for fuel. The Christmas tree rig was very festive and that gold tractor(McQueen's Scale Productions) with its doors opened and sleeper with the model box was very impressive work. Oh HECK!!! I love them ALL!! Thanks again! Tom S.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree, I liked those too!

[@frankcerne7613]

Wow,they are some fantastic looking builds..I'm liking the b double sand hauler... Thanks for sharing Tim... cheers 👍

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree, those were nice builds!

[@jeffreyn.greene6233]

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Yes, it's always nice to see Tim and his builds!

[@bluefj-wc3vz]

Now you're talking. UGO B model dumper w/ trailer and the Lynden straight truck were pretty cool and different.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree!

[@mudcat1622]

Love the video. Kool trucks. Where did they find the International Transtar skinny cab trucks

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I'm not sure where they found them, but it's great to see those classic models.

[@drafting5652]

Cool show thanks for sharing 🙂

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree, those were really nice!

[@deborahchesser7375]

Does this ever take me back, building trucks as kid was quite the challenge. My first kit was the California Hauler Pete 359, also had the Movin On KW needless to say I loved that show. Cool vid brother 🐾✌️🇺🇸

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Oh wow, very very cool and so glad you enjoyed the vid! 👍🙂

[@tommylang4k]

We love Big Rig Trucks ❤

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

So true!

[@rj2571]

Thanks, Tim for taking us along. All the trucks are great. I don't think I could pick one. But the Hendrickson at 2:48 stands out because it is so unique. I also like the color scheme on the Peterbilt at 7:24

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree, those were nice!

[@SmallADVentures1973]

Awesome show, Tim!! ✌️😁

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

It was a great show this year!

[@jackmcgill3150]

Those are awesome trucks! My favorite one was that copper colored kenworth cab over.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree, the cab over models are always a favorite for me.

[@lesthiele4921]

Hi Tim, thst was a absolutely outstanding model show, all those rigs were worthy of receiving a .place in the competition, the work that these builders have put into the kits was way off the scale, did you have anything entered? Many thanks for sharing, best regards from Australia, Les

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Glad you enjoyed it Les.... I did, but they were cars.

[@kennyspaulding796]

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VIDEO ‼️😍 Nice to see the old trucks from my childhood to young adult (60's, 70's, 80's). How could you choose a winner 🏆❓ Blatz, 7UP, Ruth's Pies, Allied Van Lines, Ugo, Claremont, Consolidated Freight, The highway plows, Adams Sand & Gravel, the Cabovers. Lots of Awesome entries, and an Awesome Video ❗ 😎👍

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

[@mikekhinkle]

It was great talking to you Tim at the show, nice video Tim. I liked the music that you picked also. I guess my favorite truck is the yellow semi with the trailer at the beginning of the video!! ( my sons truck) !!! 😎

[@kevinharms7578]

Man, very cool models, like the old cab overs , Ford L9000 , the plow trucks are cool, beverage body trucks, hard to pick just one.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree!!

[@Jdigger4130]

Too cool! It's almost not fair to show a model semi next to any of Tim As work. SO GOOD! I really dug the two Pete chassis in Turquoise. They are Redwood Coast Trucking rigs from Arcata Ca and they are the FIRST truck I ever sat in. 52 yrs old and still TRUCK CRAZY! Cheers from Santa Cruz Ca

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree!

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

Trucks are my favorite 😎

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree 🙂

[@KevinTaberski]

Tim - who doesn't appreciate a semi tractor? But I enjoyed the day-cab trucks - especially the International Transtar with the Ruth's Pies Reefer box. ALL nice builds - thanks for posting!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

You and me both! 😉

[@modelcrusher]

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree, that was nice!

[@johnnyberrios7785]

Love those rigs...omg...

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree, they are nice!

[@skip-o-maticsmodelmania5774]

Can't they all be my favorite? If I must choose one then I go with the Ugo's Freightliner CO with the double dump trailers. Thanks for showing Tim.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Mine too!

[@jcastillon1991]

Great video! I'm sure there are some in some of these hobbest collection, but I didn't see a Big Rig Towing Truck. Those are always interesting to see the customization and paint schemes.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video, unfortunately, none of the builders brought any tow trucks.

[@SupUce]

Nice. Lynden Transport. I drove for them when I used to live in Anchorage, Alaska. 🔥🔥🔥🤙🏾

Very impressive!! Qho ever built these models sho tremendous talent and skill. It's evident that they took alot of dedication and time to create these trucks. The details are almost unbelievable. I could just stare at these all day! Great work, guys

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree!

[@kenvaughan6694]

The last time I built a model of a truck was waaaaay back in 1975!! I was about 11 years old living in Adams county Colorado. It was a cab over KENWORTH I painted orange glued it all together, and put in a couple of decals. I'm sure it looked pretty so-so But, I was just a kid😃

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

The Blatz Chevy, Pete snowplow, the old gold Pete next to car hauler and the BJ and the Bear K100. The White rock hauler with the pup is the cleanest though!

Yeah, those are nice builds!

[@Racer7331]

I'm willing to bet many of those Pete's were Tim Ahlborn's builds.😂 Some truly talented builders there! Loved seeing that Freightliner Powerliner!

These trucks are really cool! Do you know of a aftermarket supplier of the yellow flatbed tie down straps in 1/25 scale, similar to what is used on a lumber truck? Thanks for the videos!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Yes, they are really cool!!!!! I like to get my aftermarket stuff from CTM Czech Truck Models.... They should have what you need.

Found exactly what I need, and some more things that are just cool to go with it. Thanks for the help!

Anything Michigan gets my vote. Michigan, by far, has the coolest trucks in the U.S. because of the centipede trailers and double dumps.
