Please share your duct tape punch tool with us like how your made it etc. I can see a lot of very Neat uses for one of those. Thanks.

I bought some Faller CA glue a while back because of the dispenser has a hypodermic needle type delivery tube. I have tried my go-to kicker (Instaset )and it doesn't work. Can anyone suggest a brand that will work?

If you're really unhappy with that result you could always cure that with two coats of paint,one coat of black and one coat of clear:)

Adding the half round strips to the roof section adds a completely new a very cool look. I am watching this one closely.

I like the look of the low profile wing.

go for it man

I was about to pull the trigger and buy one of these untill I watched this video and witnessed the huge failure to produce a nice clean part. Thanks for posting that.

Great history of a hobby that has been a big part of life for millions of us for decades. Some of my life long best friends would not have crossed my path were it not for model building,

Glad to see that your inner just a little crazy personal called and you answered! I would expect nothing less, unlimited imagination combined with craftsman level building skills = what we see here.

Great use of your skills of observation and ability to apply what you see in miniature. The texture and colors of the oxidation on the bare metal is outstanding.Only thing I would add would be some short weeds or dead leaves blown back into some open area here and there. Overall it's very real world believable. Thanks for sharing your inspiration with us.

Thanks Paul ,any and all help appreciated.

Most excellent build of a seldom seen vehicle. Thanks for sharing.

You'll find an altered wheel base '55 Chevy two door sedan Gasser on that link.

OK steam punk fans(you know who you are)time to step up and build this one. The body is easy-peasy using basswood,balsa or sheet styrene. Add a smallish steam engine of your own imagination and possibly a chain drive system. Don't just sit there, go get busy!!

Not my wheelhouse but I certainly can appreciate the engineering involved during construction. Thanks for sharing.

Great skills are obvious here. Accurate details,many scratch built parts and very realistic overall appearance. Will there be a windscreen?

That size is perfect for my deco pod project as the motivation for these is a scooter and I plan on using the 2" long Lambretta resin kit scooter from Replics and Minatures of Md. Where did you find them with the size shown?

Thanks for the tanker photos. A lot of variety and inspirational ideas there.

You can all the inspiration and ideas here to jump start your building.

Looking forward to seeing updates when you return to the work bench when time permits. There is huge potential here for a fantastic diorama.

You might want to consider the judicious use of a flame thrower.

Thanks for showing us your Astro build. Nice work. We have owned a total of 5 Astros over the years and loved them. They had a ton of room and we Never got stuck in the snow here in Ohio no matter how bad it got.

Great stuff here. Very readable and inspiring to follow. I am looking for a cab for a vintage tanker truck and hadn't thought about using the '34 Ford. Thanks for sharing your techniques and high res photos with us. The pictures you posted of the real door inner panels are the type of thing that are invaluable to us all for adding accurate and seldom seen details to our models. I'll be following along closely and will mimic many of the details.

Wow..these photos could pas for the real thing ..well done.

If you don't want square corners on the box you build you might consider using evergreen quarter round for the edges.
