Scratchbuilt White 7000
Edward Gore replied to Repstock's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Awesome scratch work! -
The arms for the road wheels were sourced from a Tamiya M2 Bradley lower hull. The suspension arms were a perfect size for this project so I started cutting them out.

This project is based on the designs of Trackmobiles. Heavy Equipment tractors that have pneumatic road wheel tires as well as traction wheels for the railroad to pull rolling stock freight. Trackmobile examples: https://www.machinerytrader.com/listing/for-sale/192544133/2019-trackmobile-hercules-miscellaneous-equipment https://i.pinimg.com/originals/eb/5a/ea/eb5aeae672f1703e5fe00c738249d08d.jpg https://www.marketbook.ca/listing/for-sale/192542857/2015-trackmobile-hercules-miscellaneous-equipment The three kits I'll be pulling parts and subassemblies from are all 1:35 scale and this will set the scale for the model. The cabs and upper deck parts will be from the FUG. The pneumatic road wheels will be from the Turtle. The railroad traction wheels from the Tramcar.

Very nice! I plan to build mine basically out of box in a lowered stance like yours without the rear brooms. -
Nice replica of the movie car.

Gaza Ambulance
Edward Gore replied to Edward Gore's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Thanks for the comment. Yes, I think I read that they are from Egypt. -
This was a toy GMC Utility Van that I found in a thrift store for .99¢. It's approximately 1/21 scale. Base coats were painted with an aerosol can after masking off the white parts and black parts and windows. Converted to a contemporary Gaza Ambulance. If you're interested, the WIP is here: Thank you for looking.

Sanford & Son Truck
Edward Gore replied to Nosferatu's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Cool subject and cool replica model. -
The light bar parts are from an electronic component that I disassembled. I masked off the clear light parts and sprayed aerosol aluminum color. The clear lights were horse-hair painted acrylic clear red. The rear light was already included with the original toy so I just painted it clear red as well. The insignia and placards were sourced from the internet then scaled to size. Then I printed them on self adhesive label paper. A few more angles are in the Under Glass post topic. Thanks for looking

Found a plastic utility van at the thrift store for .99¢. 2 AA batteries in the bottom will make all the lights turn on with a dual option switch. I tested this circuit and it still works! Disassembly to prep for primer and paint. Then painting the safety red/orange along the bottom. I had to paint it higher than the prototypes because I had to cover the existing stripe on the toy. Then wheel prep and paint as well. Thanks for looking

Nice detail touches. I've built this kit and enjoyed adding detail. I also liked playing around with the ride height. Did you notice that it's adjustable?
