My sterotype of the type of person that owns that truck (you) is to know not to stereotype him to his face, .

Farm equipment tilts the window like that. It is really weird but I think it is for viewing things below the equipment since farm stuff generally sits really high. I think the only reason it is like that on the tractor is because it is the same design as a combine cab just on a truck frame. I think Ottawa might have "borrowed" some designs from a farm company when they did that truck.

I am scratch building a modern dirt Late Model but no I don't have any experience scratch building other than that. I just got back into the hobby a couple months ago the the Late Model is my first build at all. I saw a White truck from Revell on ebay but it was to expensive. I like the older trucks better and around here a couple of the small independent yards have old (40's-60's)single axle Cab overs used as yard trucks. So I wouldn't mind using one of those but the strange looking Ottawa's just make me smile so I would like to do something similar. I would do any of the three but I like the second two the best. The local Mcdonalds distribution plant has two of the first one though, most modern. Honestly the red one looks like a death trap.

Looks really nice. I almost picked one of these up at the local flea market. After seeing this I should have picked it up.

To many cars to list individually. Lets just say every car that has been featured on Top Gear in the last 10 years. That covers most everything I would like to see.

I am looking for a yard truck model kit similar to the Ottawa Commando 30. Did anyone make a kit like that? I have never seen anything in model kit form and I don't think it exists but I thought I would ask. I am also looking for a old tractor to use as a yard truck but I haven't found much in the way of older tractors besides the Dodge L700 and the Ford C900. Is there anything else out there of similar age or a bit older? Thanks for any help.

I just picked up the same kit from the local flea market I will be watching this one closely.

I just voted and forgot what I picked, oh well. I think I said model.

Looks nice. I used to do everything from putting cars in a vice and crushing them to hitting them with a golf club to get the smashed looks I wanted for an old junkyard dio I did back when I was younger.

Their are two model car clubs in St. Louis that I know of. I think both of them host shows once or twice a year. One of the clubs had a show back in August. Here are the web addresses for them. http://www.ipms-gateway.com/ http://www.ipms-stlouis.org/

I want to get one of these kits but they are a bit expensive on my budget. My step dad has a stake bed truck that would be fun to model.

Looks nice. Way better than my first build.

Wow, everything looks awesome.
