How about a scale vehicle thread

[chessie4155]

Our latest additions. These semis are way to modern for my era but they looked so cool we had to have em..

 

[TruckLover]

O man, I forgot about this thread. I got to take some more pictures

BTW, nice Rigs

That's a '56 Chevy Belair Convertable, not a Caddy! IT's my Classic Metal Works.

CRAP...You're right...I posted the wrong pic.
Now I gotta find the pic of the Caddy.

 

[Catt]

Actually it's a '55 Chevy not a '56 but who cares they both look good.

 

[EngineerKyle]

Here's a truck I worked on, the wheels were so small I replaced them with, ready for this?, necklace beads.....

Is this a Chevy? It started out all black and with little wheels. I got it at the GV trade show for .50 cents. :thumb:
​

... and here it is after I added a green fender, silver paint on the glass, some dirt and most notably, those wide, bald tires.

 

[eightyeightfan1]

You're right Catt. I opened the hood, even its tiny HO scale engine was painted Chevy Orange...Man...Talk about detail.
Any way..Gonna add some more to this great thread.
Here's the '53 Caddy I thought I posted. A Busch model.
Next, we have two tankers parked at Fullards Oil. Both are Boleys.
A Boley Heavy Duty wrecker.
Boley, Roll-on/roll-off, with a Life Like tractor
2000+ Pontiac. Wal-Mart cheapy. More fitting my era.

Here's a few from me:

My Model A flatdeck truck from wheel works. The decripit 55 ford is an alloy forms cab mounted on an old athearn chassis.

Wrecked old ford

Old pickup inspired by Shaygetz (remember this one?)

Okay, here's my:
Woodland scenics grader
Lifelike 50-something ford truck
an unknown dumptruck
and in the back is a Magnuson 56 ford tractor and athearn trailer

Glen, How about a tour of your Layout? :thumb: Looks good from what little I see

 

[Glen Haasdyk]

Well, I would but most of my pictures are done using a 35mm camera and then made into a photo CD when I get the film developed. so a tour would take a bit of time and some luck with the camera. All I can show right now are pictures that I've already taken.

Is this a Chevy?

Nope, it's a 48-50 Ford F1.

[Thoroughbreed]

I picked up a pair of his and hers 65 shelby cobras, HO scale, at Wallyworld for $2 each.

darn, I wish I could learn to read the directions for this new camera to adjust the focus...:curse:

And that Lamborghini isn't?

 

[chessie4155]

yeah it is , it came in the same pack the VW was in. It just seem to go with the trucks. I guess I should have mentioned it as well. I have a way to make things clear as mud sometimes.

[viperman]

If the Lamborghini doesn't fit in with your layout/era, or you don't want it - I do

 

[chessie4155]

Viperman: Yeah you can have it. It's way to modern for my 70s early 80s era layout. A countache ? would work better. I might even have a few others you can have too.

 

[viperman]

If I happen to come across anything like that I'll let ya know. I do have a 74 Ford E100 van I bought for the paintjob if you want. I does have a missing rear and cracked front bumper, thanks to my 2yr old.

Also have a Viper SRT-10 convertible that will see the layout

 

[chessie4155]

Cool. I'll take it..Thanks.

Finally got the HO/0n30 photo diorama looking sort of photo ready.Time for more truck pics

This is one of my earliest bashes.It started out as a LifeLike Ford standard cab pickup.I lost the windows along time ago.

This is one of my early bashes too.Matchbox cab(chevy) Athearn frame (modified) with Herpa wheels

This is an undec Walthers 53' Stoughton trailer with one of the Wal-Mart tractors.I ordered 3 of these trailers undecked expecting white trailers SURPRIZE!! these unlike the 45's and 48's are grey.

 

[Catt]

and now for some more

First up a Atnearn Mack R tractor pulling a Walthers 48' Stoughton trailer.I need at least 8 of these tractors (I have two so far)

Two pics of an ATLAS Ford LN9000 that I'm creating.The sleeper is just setting in place cause that ain't the one I want for this project.

Nuther Wal-Mart tractor this one pulling a Trucks-n-Stuff 48' flat bed.

Well this it for this installment,more on the way.

 

[Catt]

Got 1 more,this one is an old Athearn KW that is slowly being upgraded by it owner/operator.
