zaina Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) i built this one to replicate the 1:1 truck i drive at work. everyting from the cab back is scratch built including the compressor. enjoy! and yes that is a cat whisker for the antenna. if im not mistaken, that was a tip i learned from dr cranky Edited January 31, 2012 by zaina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixties Sam Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Great build! I like the photo with a real truck in the background. The model is a pretty close replica. Great detailing! We have two cats. I've found whiskers on the floor and threw them away - never thought of using them for antennas. Great idea! Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbowser Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Great job. Love the hoses and the trailer. I'd like to do a model of the truck I used to drive, but it was a cable TV bucket (aerial lift truck). Don't have the scratchbuilding chops for that yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
