A while ago I posted pictures of a model-t fire truck I was working on. Finally done. I started it back in October of last year and I thought it would be a quick and easy build. Boy was I wrong. Yes, in the pic with my fingers in it, I was steering the front wheels. The last pic I made brass the fire extinguisher's out of. Lance Gregory

Brockway 761 & 457 & Lowboy Dave Natale

Pneumatic Tanker Ford Truck Don Parrish

This kit is the Revell of Germany Peterbilt 359 w/an extended frame of 1.5 inches. The colors are Model Master Boyed red and Alma Yellow Pearl. The seats are flocked w/yellow and burgundy as well as the floor and door panels. The vortex air cleaners are from Clint Freeman. The tool boxes are from RNK. The fenders, ratchet straps and exhaust pipes are from KFS. The trailer kit is from Auslow w/a changed axle configuration. I added a rub rail and DOT tape to the trailer and the wrecker body is from the Revell of Germany Peterbilt Can Do kit. Justin Sorrentino

Started with stretching the frame on the RG Peterbilt 359. Scratchbilt the entire sleeper including the interior as well as the fuel tanks, mounting brackets, straps and bumper. The marker lights and storage boxes are aftermarket. I modified the grill, battery boxes and headache rack and added deck plates. The engine also has some plumbing done. Except for the wheels, all chrome was stripped and then painted with Alcladll chrome. To finish, it has my first ever custom paint job. Oh, btw, the thing sticking up off the back of the sleeper is a piece of tape to remove the sleeper roof. Les Felts

Mack C600 Base kit was the AMT DM600 and the resin C600 conversion from AITM. I scratchbuilt mirrors and part of the interior (dash & floor) as well as the grab handles (paperclip) and modified the resin breather by adding two straps and constructing a mounting bracket. Les Felts

1965 Chevy single axle tractor that my best friend just finished...he has a trailer for it and will send a pic later. Tim

AMT short hauler and lots of evergreen Robert Eller

Heller Deahaye fire truck box stock Robert Eller

Dodge L-700 then and now Robert Eller

The crusher was scratch built and weathered. I used sheet plastic, evergreen, plastruct and parts box junk. I made the decals and built the utility box for the Pete. Robert Eller

This Polar chemical tank was made from pvc pipe. I used weedeater string for the bands around the tank and made a pattern for the tank mounts on the pc. The rest of it is evergreen, the decals were also made on the pc. The pete is just the box stock 359 from AMT. Robert Eller

AMT Paystar 5000 Log truck Robert Eller

AMT Mack cruiseliner, Revell Auto transporter box stock. Robert Eller

This is the freightliner cabover from AMT cut down short, the bed of the truck and hitch were scratch built from evergreen. The mirrors are made from brass stock, the mobile home is made from foamboard, plexiglass, evergreen, plastruct and balsa wood. Robert Eller

This is a Revell race transport truck kit. I made the decals and added the Chevy monster truck. Robert Eller

This is an AMT Mack DM800 with an AMT logging trailer, not much to add about this one, it's box stock and very dirty! Robert Eller

This is my garbage truck, the real one is out of service now but it picked up many bags of trash here at my house in the 90's. The garbage truck body was scratch built and I used an AMT Ford C900 for the cab and made decals to match the real truck. Robert Eller

This is my model of the Green Goblin truck from Stephen King's Maximum Overdrive, the green goblin head is made from a balsa wood block, dap lightweight spackling and sculpey clay for the teeth, the decals had to be drawn in Adobe Photoshop CS2, I used a Revell Kenworth T900 Australia but I think the truck in the movie was a Western Star, I cut down an Italeri 48 foot reefer for the trailer and added a single sleeper to the KW. Robert Eller

This is the AMT Ford Snow Plow, I added high sides to the dump box and a third axle. Robert Eller

IH Utility Truck Robert Eller

This is the AMT KW, Lowboy trailer, and Cat Bulldozer. I added opening doors and a utility box to the KW and a safety cage on the bulldozer and weathered it up. Robert Eller
