Hello fellow modeller's , this my latest build it is a 1919 Olds fruit truck. The idea for this build came from a calendar photo, needless to say they are going to have to deal without June this year. I started with the Beverly Hillbillies Truck, well a few parts, the frame, motor, wheels, grill, hood and a few other odds and ends from the kit. I scratch build the body from styrene, I even made the baskets from paper towel (white glue, water, craft paint), fruit is made from foam balls I painted. Made the scale hanging from the ceiling and a sandwich board even made the canopy's from paper towel. I started this little project only 4 weeks ago, I had such a good time building this one, thanks for looking. ENJOY!

Welcome, looks like a cool garage, need more pics.

Thanks for the pictures, that was a treat.

Thanks for the pictures guys, really enjoyed them.

Very Cool, there is nothing wrong with the Tom Daniel kits, they are a lot of fun and kit bashing with them is even more fun................Cut and glue and reshape to your own creation.

Like it Like it Like it. Very cool, I am working on one alone the same line.

Ya Neil is right, you have done a great job on this kit.

Man this is looking great, can't wait to see this one finished.

Welcome Ron, having a good winter, well start building cause we aint do yet. This is a good place to pickup some good ideas.

Welcome Paul, my daughter is in the UK and I am going there this summer. Are there more hobby shops in the UK? She is located about 2 hours north of London. This a a great place to hang out.

Welcome Dale, I sure am hoping you still have some of thoughts early build. I think we would all like to see some of then.

Welcome back Brian, now open that tote and get back at it.

Welcome Jurgen, glad you could make it, great place to learn and ask questions.

Very Nice, really like the grill. What do you use for the frame rails?

That is the most beautiful Chrysler 300 I seen, you did a wonderful job.

Well I have given this a lot of thought ever since this topic started, at first I could not come up with a kit that I really wanted to see again. Then I was thinking back when I first started building, the kits I remember so fondly was the AMT Gypsy wagon and the Flameout. It would be such hoot to build these again, I am sure I would buy a couple of these. So Round 2 I will be checking your web site waiting to put my order in.

Looks Great!
