  1. Thanks for the link for the treads, I passed it on to the 'rover' link greg
  2. That almost looks like it might be part of "Spangler dual" school of design. greg
  3. Found this in an aviation model website that I found interesting. NASA has Humvees that they are using as 'rovers' in Mars exploration experiments on earth and this person is building one using the Revell 1/25 Humvee. What is interesting is that the real ones have Mattrack conversions and the modeler is attemping to replicate the Mattracks (remember it's 1/25th) http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=273412&st=0 I got the plans for the ambo body from him enjoy greg
  4. Now to be really crazy make the cab work like a canopy. have the top of the cab slide back for entry or side entry like the razor back 'tangs' there's my 2 cents greg
  5. Under the hood looks like a siren in there? Is that what came with the trucks back then or what? Is it a Mars or Sireno and how did you make it? greg
  6. Is that the Revell/Matchbox/Airfix kit or the die cast? Boy do I have a black shadow story greg
  7. That is very nice, I found your fisherman Available from Preiser of Germany and Walther's in the USA greg
  8. One time at the County fair we did a model car hobby display and had 20 variations of the AMT ford pick up here are two of them These were done by my friend George who will be the last person on earth without a computer greg
  9. I think this is where Revell got the body greg
  10. Very nice, Hope the milk is cleaner than the truck. greg
  11. BFI ordered two one for the corporate office then another went to New York city to a place where they held their board of directors meeting and was hung from the ceiling after the meeting. I can't recall what the business was called but they had memorabilia from each company that held board meetings there greg
  12. Who say news has to be bad, ugly or gory, Yea modeling is handed down to another generation. Just wonder how many times can the models be released before they are considered outdated as a dial phone, Always make memories when you can. Now for the goofiness, When I see this model I imagine Yul Brenner and Steve McQueen powering up the hill on this machine greg
  13. I built this model of a local dirt track race car for a mother to give to her son as a gift, Started out with several of the AMT modified kits to get the drive train and frame, The body is a 60 Falcon with home made bumper rails from brass tubing. All lettering is dry transfers on clear decal paper. Hopefully posted in the right spot as this isn't NASCAR or Drag greg
  14. Nice job, nice paint with the breaks, maybe I should have done my Titan fire truck with that paint scheme
  15. Of coourse there are extremeshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDI6fvk3CtU
  16. Did this for a proposed scheme for the SOHIO tankers fleet. The blue strip on the tank wrapped candy cane style and the logo on the other side was in the rear side of the tank SOHIO sold to BP and out sourced delivery, so it did not make it any further than the model note: coiled lines greg
  17. I used the evergreen grooved siding sheets for the roll up doors
  18. As for a wrecker and roll off, some tow companys use crew cabs for the driver and or passengers of the tow. I see another squad 51 in my future greg
  19. Started with the Titan cab cut the front face just below the windshield and turned it upside down to get the lights higher, then cut open the back and flared the edge with AMT/ALF pieces Next one is a KW cabover with 1/4 taken out of both sides of the cab length wise to narrow the cab width then filled in the grille and opened the back sleeper area and once again used flare edge from AMT/ALF kit. bottom front skirt is K&S corragated sheet metal Thought you guys would get a kick out of seeing some thing different greg
  20. Holly was a local bottler. has gone out of business since greg
  21. Built this years ago for my neighbor who was a pop truck driver. Used 1/72 model airplane tires for hand cart wheels. greg
  22. Ertle IH with AMT livestock trailer cut down to truck size
  23. Great looking rig, my only suggestion is mount the Q from the ALF. gotta make more noise than the Pete greg
  24. Glad to be of help on this project greg
