Reply to "Automobiles/ Trucks 1/43-1/50 scale let’s see them"

John.  Those “pool” trucks are very funny, although someone will probably complain about them being crappy...

I haven’t posted in this thread for a while, with much outdoor time and less basement.  But I’ve been inspired and encouraged by some of the creative “truck-bashing” from Lee and  other modelers.  So here goes:

Here’s the 1960 Chevy farm truck...

And this is how it began, with a deconstructed Ertl cab and chassis, a cut up hopper from a snow plow and various  bits and parts:

Ah!  Scalecoat paint!!!!

And the orange hopper becomes green too:

Then primer for the wheels and interior 

Starting to come together and ready for details and decals

Just needing a smidge more “mud.”

And there you have it!  Ready to service the farms and supply/mill in the background check.  Next project, ballast and groundcover in this 6x12 rural area of my railroad.
