Very nice looking Volvo.

Nicely done.

We don't see too many old trucks here in Central New York. Road salt is pretty brutal on equipment. There is a guy in the Utica area that delivers pool water with a fleet of Kenworth K100E AeroDynes; so we see them from time to time. I did see an International 9400 (I think) the other day while driving around East Syracuse. Managed to get a shot of this International 9400, though. According to the driver it's an ex-Wal-Mart tractor that is now hauling carnival rides. Took the photo a couple of years ago at the Oz-stravaganza here in Chittenango.

Awesome job, Dennis.

Aaron, The AMT Logging Trailer is a Western style logging trailer like the ones you show in your photos. It does come with the bunk for the tractor as well as the pintle hitch & the headache rack. Might even come with heavy-duty quarter fneders, but I can't remember. As mentioned before, you will need to extend the rear of the frame, though. This might help some: http://thetimbershop.proboards.com/thread/584/converting-amt-logging-trailer-reach

Nice looking Bf109.

Nice looking Western Star. I like it with the double Mercury sleeper.

Nice repair job. Your W900 looks really nice. Yes, Palm Springs, California, is a real place: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_Springs,_California It's a resort community down near Los Angeles & San Bernardino. That's not a Palm Springs phone number, though. There are too many digits in the last section. US phone numbers are 123-4567.

Not all of them. KFS has his own Website, as does Double Take Replicas, AITM, & Auslowe. Rhino lists on eBay. GW Trucks (Gary Wallace) does not. If you want something from Gary, you'll need to email him.

Thanks for the history lesson, G. I appreciate it. Yea, nothing like a bunch of Vikings to guard your stuff. That's 5th SS Panzer Division, right?

Very cool, Scott. I can just hear the director, Irvin Kershner, saying, "Now, Mark, walk down the front of the fighter, and don't slip!"

The stenciling really makes the crates. A little flat & a little weathering,and they'll be ready for transport. I recognize many of the symbols that you downloaded, but what's the oval one above the "Vorsicht Nicht Offen"? And the circular ones on the sheets?

That is a deal!

Well, the answer is: it depends. Many vocational trucks have spokes, but not all. Spokes were very popular in the Northeast (and still are). Sometimes you'll see a combination on older trucks: disks on the front with spokes on the rear. Many fleets in the 1960s & 70s ran spokes. Spokes are also very popular in Australia. So, like I said, it just sort of depends.

Great looking scooter. It does look very realistic. I wish there were more 1/25 scale motorcycles available.

Looking nice. Looks like you have the running rigging to do?

Thanks for the info, Gerry. It's almost a perfect match.

What I find amusing is that 1/25 scale cars (based on metric) are popular in the US, while 1/24 scale cars (based on Imperial units) are popular in Europe. Or at least it seems that way.

Dang! Too bad it was in Louisiana!

Nicely done. What color did you use for the "Kawasaki Green"?

Interesting. I'm sure the 1/35 will sell better than the 1/24. There seems to be a bigger 1/35 modeling community than anything else.

Wait a sec. You picked the 1/43 Peterbilt up at a LHS? Are they being reissued, or was this from a collection?

Nice looking build. Well done. I might have a set of the decals for this kit. PM me if you're interested.

Nicely done!

Very nice build.
