engine32 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Hello all, just wanted to introduce myself. I recently got back into truck modeling and have almost completed my first build in years. It is a GMC Astro with an AMT Texaco tanker. I also have a 2002 Pete 359 re-issue and a Kenworth cabover to start on. I'm planning on a flatbed for one, and then I may try to scratch build a Pitts log trailer for the other. I enjoy very much looking at your work, it was looking at Tim Ahlborn's site that inspired me in the first place. I drove trucks for about 15 years before getting into Construction and then firefighting. I'll be around building, when I get some pictures I'll get my kids to show me how to post them.

Guest Anthony Oteri Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Welcome to the board. Thanks for the comments on my Brockway. Since those photos were taken I have done a little "tinkering" with it. I will post new shots when it is all done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

engine32 Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 I have an old ALF Aero Chief that has been at our firehouse for years. It's in bad shape so I thought I would eventually try to restore it. I have also gotten all our spec sheets for my station's trucks which are a 2003 Pierce Enforcer mid-mount pumper and a 2003 E-One Cyclone 100' quint. Here's a link to our pics. http://www.kleinfiredept.com/stations/station_32/ I know that is the ugliest color for firetrucks, but we keep thinking if we leave them in the sun for a while they'll eventually ripen up. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/uploads/emoticons/default_biggrin.png' alt=':D'> I'll have to scratch build most of them, but if I can get parts from these guys when they get going again, It'll be a lot easier. http://www.frmnco.com/ At least our colors will be easy to duplicate, since the manufacturers stamped the Dupont numbers on the inside of the cabs for us. They'll take a while to do I'm sure, but it sure will be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
