It's absolutely amazing what you guys can do with a computer and printers. Looks dead on to me. .

Thank you for sharing, Sir!

I'll eat it

That would be OUTSTANDING!

That's it! I've got them all around in 1/35th also. So many uses in 1/25th. I'm surprised someone hasn't put one out there.

Hello folks. I'm tapping into the enormous knowledge of info about resin and/or printed items that all of you possess. A Timken F-30 series rear, or sometimes front axle housing. I 'think' it was used by Ford from 1934 to about 1952 in their 1 1/2-ton trucks? I scratch built one long enough ago as to not be able to remember how I made it. Does anyone know if one is available in 1/24th or 1/25th? I just attempted to make one but the arthritis in my hands had other plans. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Nice build! That's what's so great about our hobby. Who cares if it's accurate or not. If you enjoy building it that's all that matters!

Mr. Solomon, those look AWESOME!

And thanks for the info.

Well, it's only money. It's more important that he gets help and heals. I wish both of you the best. Hang in there.

Yup. I'll be 59 here shortly. Made bad choices in wife pickin'. On number four now. And sometimes she'll introduce herself as such, (#4)! She's a beaut though! First one said I worked too much. I guess putting her through nursing school wasn't why I would work two jobs. Second one decided drugs and overextending credit cards was a good option after I worked so she could stay home and raise her two girls. See a pattern? (I'm an idiot) Third? Thought I found arm candy. Well, 13 years got me lots of more credit cards being abused. When I walked in the door from my last day on the fire department, (35 years) she hit me with "I'm 38,000 in credit card debt." And that was the fourth time! I said, I retired today and getting divorced too. Don't care how much it'll cost me. Best thing I ever did! So, getting to the good stuff. I am so grateful to be with my wife of present. She and I think alike. She is beautiful. Jeans and cowgirl boots drive me nuts! We do everything together. We cook together. Take care of our garden and chickens together. She loves our truck. She can't wait till I build my '78 Jeep J10. She camps, shoots, (and dang good!). She loves a fire in the fireplace. (Brownie points for me when I build a fire!) Anyway, she is a hoot. Never giving a dang if I take a day and retire to my room in the basement. (Model, gun, computer room.) So. What pleased me today? Running it through my head that I have the most wonderful wife that I could ever wish for. She's 100% behind me and I'm 100% behind her. Things happen for a reason. And I'm dang glad where I'm at! Who's gonna be the first to say, BALOGNA! Or BRAUNSCHWAGER! (Can't use the words I wanna!) But I's telling the truth. Guy's, thanks for the avenue for letting me get this out! Sometimes we get to a place where we think no one will understand us. I believe this is a place where we're we can talk amongst ourselves and be understood.

Thanks for getting it back out and sharing with us!

Count me in also.

I just did a trade with Rocketman455. Absolutely perfect! Thanks Chuck!

Well, no Christmas Surprise. What do you guys think? I just took an order at Olson Brothers to the point where PayPal gives you the confirm button. I didn't. Just wanted to see if he's accepting orders. Looks like he is. Is ANYONE getting their orders processed? Been over 6 months since my credit card was charged and days shy of 6 months since my order status changed to 'Processing'. I know some of you guys know him, and others have had a good relationship with him. That's where I'd like to be. But $107.50 is $107.50. And I'd really like to have the items! They look great. I try to not go overboard on things, (don't tell my wife I said that!), but DANG! I just don't want others to fall into this same situation. Would one of you guys that know him reach out to him and find out what's going on? Thanks, Dale

Nope. I'm calling BS here. That's a real dash from a real car! Just trying to figure out how that blue tarp covering that 55-gallon barrel is holding it up...... Holly Cow ! I've never seen a dash like that. Incredible!

Hi, Scott. The Louisville grills look AWESOME! I pulled out my old Ford truck book, but small black and white pictures don't show much. I found a couple snap shots of a truck my father and I had some 30 years ago. And much internet crawling. Looks like the smallest opening was gas engine trucks. The grill on the right. The truck we had was a medium duty diesel truck and it had the middle grill. I'm guessing the big diesels were the grill on the left. I hope I helped. Heck, you may have already known all this. Either way, can't wait to get my hands on some. I have four kits to use them on and a couple extra for the ones down the road. Wish you well with your health and sorry to hear of your father-in-law. I too just received news of a fellow retired firefighter that has the same cancer. I don't like this getting old stuff. Hang in there.

I think I'll hold on for a while longer. It's going on six months for me. Who knows. Maybe it'll be a surprise for Christmas!

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed about my Olson order. On a happier note, I did receive my order from Scenes Unlimited. WOW! Awesome stuff!

Would just like to say.... Received items from Texas 3D Customs and Fireball Modelworks. HOLY COW are these guys good! Thier product is well worth the price! I found a couple items that I had from Scenes Unlimited, and they are incredible as well. So, had to put an order in with them. These guys are priceless for what they offer our hobby. Thanks a bunch, you guys! Still holding out hope for Olson Brothers. I wish him well.

Just a thought. I bet guys would like a nice grill for their AMT Ford Louisville cabs. I sure would! Even as a kid I thought those kit supplied grills were pretty sad.
