This is completely scratch built except the wheels on the Diamond T which are
Italeri hard plastic, the rest is made from plastic card, wood, & perspex.
The wheels on the trailer are home made resin items. The model was sprayed
with cellulose using a spray gun & weathered with oils then placed on a base.

The Castrol Tri-Axle trailer is all built from .060 Styrene with Evergreen
styrene. For the details I went and took pictures of a trailer and all the
measurements then drew it in scale and then built it from a full scale drawing I
plotted out on my vinyl cutter. All of the graphics are computer cut from
vinyl and the design is all my own. The car is digitally printed on vinyl
then contour cut and applied using the same vinyl used for wrapping real
trailers and vehicles. This rig is all 1/24th scale and the truck is a
Ford F-650 Super Crewzer that is diecast. Paul Black
Ford 600 was a stake body, I used a Peterbilt wrecker body and cut out the 4
wheel wells and filled them with plastic, then added a tire rack and added a 35
Chevy modified with a 427 Chevy big block engine. The 2nd one is a
Peterbilt wrecker with hand painted flames and lettering on the cab. Wes
