jekylljr Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 First of all,im new here well new since starting of month or so.Ive been a peeker on this site for awhile,i most say you guys do amazing work that is also insperational,.. my 1/24 scale trucks are all blue why u ask cuz i can (jokes) really because i have an obsession with trucks and trucks that are in fleets painted same colors,it all started when i was 8ish,my dad was driving for a fairly big fleet (gravel trucks) they were two tone,cream n brown with white tops.i remember goin with him early in the morning for summers on end,seeing them all the same colors i thought was neat and i became fascinated!... so one day my uncle give me a cabover kenworth areodyne,the boss tyrone malones hideout truck,of course i ripped of the bed and added a fifth wheel, had a few amt end dumps and had one hooked to the kenworth,i had that truck painted baby blue with a black stripe called er stoney....to make a long story short by the time i was 12 i had most if not all amt/ertl trucks also some revell all painted that blue n black... by very early teens i had baught the italeri kits by the time i was 27 i had 14 trucks all painted one color solid blue.some trailer kits i enjoy scratch building end dumps cobra or custom and star gate quads and tri's ... so .... farway model truck fleet was born on sept 15th 1999 with a peterbilt 377 most trucks are modified whether its a cut down bunk or spread axels,or shortend frames,or cabs converted to daycabs. i highly love trucks and truckin! my newest style i enjoy is tri axel dump trucks....with pup scratch building that part asap. lonestar kit will be made to pull a quad axel end dump(will be leaving roof dam off and maybe a shorter frame looking to get a pete 367 with flat top 48''bunk (porky will be ordering soon if u still have em in stock) as u can probably figure out this model fleet is mostly all gravel (end dumps tris n quads b train dumps tri axel dump trucks with pups also floats n flatbeds . lookin to build a fair size diorama u guessed it of a 3 bay garage,,,on a platform 4 feet wide by 8 feet long....gotta display em style right? garage should have working lights.........###### didnt realise i was writin a ###### novel !!!! will stop writing will post pics of the fleet asap and progress of the fleet "'yard'' and garage feel free to pick my brain n ask questions been round trucks all my life as for now keep model truckin!! i know i will! if u read this far i thank you ! have a good one ------steve farway model truck fleet ----- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
