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

Ted, thanks for the greeting...same back to you and family!  Mike, agree completely you can't go wrong with a "Vette," especially the early years

Abut 1990 K-MART offered toy trailers.  Reefer unit, tandem axles.  Either intentionally or by dumb luck, the trailers were manufactured very close to scale dimensions.  Plain vanilla, ready for the modeler to paint and decal as desired.  John

Just bought a bunch of these blank Volvo tractors and 53' trailers. Made this one up - worked here for 20 years spotting trailers to loading docks.

Dewman...nice looking rigs!  What brand and scale are they?

Overheating on the trip...fortunately service is close by

Need a tow truck Paul?? Safety Joe runs his Old Bulldog tow truck 24/7

Lee...do you accept Triple A??  That's a nice Mack unit

A bustling New Year's day on North Main...

Some nice choices for the lottery winners!

Wow Paul, you've got a great selection of cars'.... I like the same models in different colors'... They look great'.... Nice job]...

Convertible top down weather in Evergreen...unusual for the day after New Year's...

😁This is some of the tedious work required for two tone paint jobs on restoring a Dinky, or Corgi 1/43 car.  This of course is after removing all the original paint, sanding, and fine steel wooling , and undercoating.

These two are ready yet again for the paint shop'.... A makeshift interior added using Vintage Walthers metal passenger car seats... STill working on a steering wheel

Thanks to forum member,  JDFonz, for getting me involved in this aspect of restoration on vintage scale vehicles of yesterday'.... When these babies are road ready, they'll look great on the layout'...😲👀

Paul, what a great looking street scene ! I love how the Split window Vett is leading the pack!

Ted, wow that sure is alot of work! I am just wondering what your going to do for the frame!

Thanks Mike very much'... Here is the frame'.... I will also add windows.. The only trouble I'm having is coming up with a steering wheel....

Ted, do you have a photo of what your looking for? I might have something laying around!

No Mike, I don't.  I thought I could build one.  But I'm waiting to get my eyes fixed, and I really cant do real tiny close up work.  I don't see any retailers selling 1/43 or 1/48 steering wheels...and columns... But I'll keep looking.  Thank you very much Mike for your effort to assist '...😁

Ted if I find one I will let you know!

A quick post-Christmas holiday scene!

1956 Ford F-100 gets a tune-up at the local service station as a local steams by.

Hmmm... upon second look: the 19th century woodsided cars, 1914 atlantic, 1956 Ford, and 21st century Home Depot don't make for the most prototypical scene... hopefully I'm the only once who notices .

Ted -  Contact me if you are still searching for Dinky toy parts.  I have a great resource but am hesitant to post his contact info openly without his OK.
