Moebius F 250 w/camper.
leafsprings replied to happy grumpy's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Really like the subject matter and build. The pickup camper was a very popular site across the country in the 60's and 70's. Very nice work on the camper, just the right size for a F 250. Color choice and 8 lug 16" wheels and tires look very sharp! Yes, many kits require more work than expected, but the results are worth it. -
1960 Ford P/U alternate grilles
leafsprings replied to 1st 700 Quad's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
The grill and hood for a '59 exist in 1/18 diecast offerings. I'm no 3d printer expert, but, how difficult can it be to reduce an actual already done 1/18 piece to 1/25? A big opportunity for 3d people, but, AFAIK, they have been silent on this topic -
1972 GMC 2500
leafsprings replied to Chuck Most's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
I like it, very heavy duty, looks like an ex camper hauler with the mirrors. Nice wheel and tire choice, looks like 2 piece rims which were very popular in the era, the rings were always a silverish- gray color. -

Another rig that came and went too fast, both in scale and 1:1. Every detail is spot on, very realistic looking, excellent wheel and tire choice for a no frills hauler.

1970 F 250 Camper Special

Not up to scratch building, you would think a 3d printer could convert this 1/64 to 1/25 fairly easily? https://www.ebay.com/itm/266702055910?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110013%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIMRXI%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20201210111452%26meid%3D286f2e009cf74675b226ef92ce4958cd%26pid%3D101196%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D8%26sd%3D225991652314%26itm%3D266702055910%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D4429486%26algv%3DPromotedRVIPbooster%26brand%3DGreenlight&_trksid=p4429486.c101196.m2219&itmprp=cksum%3A266702055910286f2e009cf74675b226ef92ce4958cd|enc%3AAQAJAAABECwDxH%2FaslyJlxG5OwCzDVsvFPdCc7oPNES2pO%2FdXErh3FWD0RY5Z4as3zE1mat3WT6Ucv9T827oSX6ueBxJTFw2r9p2wb0deZUMMzPdc3WQ3XwhMEF9hcgM3SytbId%2FKeAwSu%2Fbt4zAQVlC5sBI42M%2BXde2gW0onrjpsko07Y7Bvd1rfYTTkMam4g4ddm7MLfMk5jjLmdDhSMavlGx8dn372r3WVDR5pnNNuF8WrMHgGO6GHUVdSrSrGx4oTSNyHJVdOMe%2FtKNCjwUoVmq26XvX1vzPx1y5cmXVWmKUaz2P500%2Bh7Tk%2FFDwscfqeyDRAQ6GTrS4xtcGI88ALdzTP0%2FwOutjq0KTMnXH7Ha9ekwC|ampid%3APL_CLK|clp%3A4429486&epid=8066029999&itmmeta=01HSP08BTDT89CZJE60Z242GYC -
1970 F 250 Camper Special
leafsprings replied to leafsprings's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Thanks for all the positive comments. Any resin 1/25 scale slide in campers such as this old Lindberg HO? Only larger camper I believe is the Model King Open Road chassis type. -
1974 Ford F250 Supercab
leafsprings replied to Chuck Most's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Very clean looking build, the tire and wheel combo are perfect for a supercab -
'71 Chevy Cheyenne
leafsprings replied to ReduitRetro's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Great color combo, very nice detail work. -
1970 F 250 Camper Special with "Custom" trim. Wheels, tires and hubcaps are from the '68 F 250 kit. Upgrades are 3 arm western mirrors and front bumper from the 70's issue AMT star truk kit with additional photo etch emblems. Painted Royal Maroon from Scalefinishes. Would be nice if there was a resin 10' camper available, the rear springs are ready for some weight.

Great job bringing the resin piece to life. LIke the body choice, under hood details, authentic mirrors and wheels, I can almost hear the 345 whining out sound, remember those engines made more noise than the exhaust!
