gasser59 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) This was a fun and different build for me. Its nice once in a while to shift gears and head off into a different direction. I started with the AMT Budweiser '23 'T' Delivery Van, cut off the back of the body and scratch built everything in the living quarters portion. I've got a couple of months into this one and thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. I'll do a bit more weathering eventually.

iBorg Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I can see why you'd be proud of it. I've got the same kit that I haven't been inspired to build. I'll remember your approach if I ever pull this one out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 The detail in this build is fantastic, very much all kinds of things inside it. I always find something more when looking these pictures again and again. But then- there is not too much stuff packed inside it, it's just perfect. I like the color too, fits nicely to this kind of car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasser59 Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 Gentlemen - thanks so much for the kind words. I appreciate them very much. John - I don't know about that top ten comment but, coming from you, its really a fine compliment and I greatly appreciate your thoughtfulness. I may drop just a few more details in on this and if I do, I'll post the updates here. Don't worry Niko, I won't overcrowd it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Setzer Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 This looks very much like the Truck/Wagons they have at the Carnival Museum! I enjoyed your build of this Carny Wagon. The Details you added to the interior give it a lived in look, and is very well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Lacy Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I love it! The exterior would have been enough but the interior is a knock-out. You should be very proud of this model. I could just see this little guy chugging along in a train of circus vehicles. (I'd hate to roll over in the morning and nail that counter edge with my forehead, haha.)
