Eshaver Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Dec, first welcome to Model Cars Magazine forum . Interesting truck there . It looks similar to a Morris truck , A friend of mine who by the way passed away years ago in Texas used to restore Morrisis . He had several wagons and a couple of Panel deliveries . What did you construct the walls and so forth from ? How bout getting the truck out of the shop so we can see what ya'all drive there ?

We call them Mini van/pick ups over here. I constructed the walls from 6mm plywood and covered with plaster of paris bandage(the plaster cast they use for broken limbs) let it set for a few days and then sprayed with grey primer and then painted. used to make my garages that way. now I make them using 6mm plywood and half scale brick paper form dollhouses. you can see newer garages on my website. thanks for looking Ed. By the way Ed on a different issue was trying to upload a profile picture but it wouldnt accept, had to contact an administrator. thanks Dec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eshaver Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Most interesting Dec! I certainly would never have thought to have used such materials . I have however heard of some of the rail road scene builders using such products though now that you mention it . Course too, thats who has been the most influental in my diorama building , the archecture and rail road model builders . Ed Shaver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

decsgarages Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 Thanks for all the goood comments. It is a pity the scalekraft kits are not readily available at the minute. Some nice resin bodies. Hopefully someone might do them again or get the moulds. Dec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
