These are called Dekotra for " decorated truck". Seems to be the ugly stepchild of Gundham style and chrome everything plus really bad Christmas light competition.

Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean SHOULD. I have seen pix of the real ones on the interweb. They are a fad in China. The chrome plating industry there must love to see them pulling into their shops with loads of bolt-on stuff to have made shiny. This is of course only my opinion.

Amazing!!

you might consider adding some safety chains for that hitch assembly.

More proof that Norm' s stuff is top notch.

A great tribute to a unique part of American war history. The logistics alone had to be massive just to stage this photograph and someone with a great sense of humor. Very cool.Thanks for sharing!

I found the Fall,2019 issue of Damaged magazine at a mall bookstore. Great rag if you're interested in subtle weathering tech that lists the exact materials and methods used.

A handy companion subject to this would be some information on how to plum these diesel engines. Modern gas engines are complicated enough but I am totally in the dark on diesels. They seem to have a lot of hard plumbing that is painted the same color as the rest of the engine.detailed photos with descriptions of what we're looking at would be outstanding.

You might want to consider shortening those headers so the doors can open,either that or lose the up-top:)

Great talent,please share more of your work with us!

It would be nice to see this model photographed against in plain background with less clutter so we can appreciate the overall look if it. I personally like the dramatic difference when compared to the prototypical shiny cars.

Does anyone have a current email address on him??

I have two fractured vertebrae L4-L5 that I have had for over 50 years. That has caused pinched nerves resulting in leg and knee pain. For temporary relief I use a topical cream called Blue Emu. No nasty smell or heat and it works quickly and helps me a lot. Be sure to have testing done to determine exactly what your problem is.

I built one back when the original release was available and painted it in the(Marina?) blue as shown above. I carried it in portable tool box and worked on it on my lunch hours at a city park near my office.

How did you determine the width of the engine mounting rails in the center of the tube chassis?

I also tried this finger tip style and decided it wasn't going to give me the ability to turn the blade in corners without turning my whole hand. It just seemed awkward after decades of round handled Xactos. I gave mine away to a younger crafter I worked with at the time. My favorite Xacto is currently the one they sell at HL with a built in light in the head. That one can illuminate the exact area where I am cutting.

Not long ago we were working on a really old household door that had brass knob and knocker that were looking really nasty due to outdoor exposure. I chucked a small wire wheel into my Dremel Stylus and cleaned them up in a few minutes. A coat of clear and they are looking nice. FYI, brass was a common choice for those applications as bacteria does not survive on brass as it does on other metals.

I'm glad you added the tire rub marks where the vehicles being pulled up run across the painted lip of the bed. Nice touch.

Spammers like this one are a great source of inspiration to a lot of builders including yours truly. Their immediate visual impact is the same on your shelf or a contest table as it would be if you'd spent months super detailing it. I build a lot of this type model. It helps me get them out of my head and on the shelf.

For those who haven't looked it up yet, a quid is equal to $ 1.29.

I watched it today in Columbus,Ohio and thoroughly enjoyed it I have somewhere little and no knowledge about any kind of racing but the camera action and sound track were great whether they truly accurate or not. I'm in that 99% that did not know the difference.

What is a "stack truck"?

I I totally agree.If more young people would just shut up and listen to what some of today's senior citizens that just might learn something(like common sense).
