They both look really, really nice. Fantastic job, MIA.

Neat! Thanks for the info.

The Paystar is a construction truck, so you'll see a lot of them as dumps, mixers, or heavy haul tractors. Search on Hank's Truck Pictures for ideas. There should be thousands! http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/

Is the Crackerbox in 1/32 or 1/25?

A 1/25 might sell well as it could go on the AMT Ford C600 frame.

Yes, they both have the IH V800.

Well, there's a cab you don't see every day! Nice job.

Nice Interstater. I like it. Only thing we need now are decent 1/32 wheels & tires.

Nice looking Cruiseliner.

You can try emailing Daniel ar Plaskit Resin (plaskit_resin@yahoo.ca). He might have some. Or you can check with Dave Natle over at American Induatrial Truck Models (http://www.aitruckmodels.com/). Good luck.

Very well done. Very realistic.

I thought so, too. It'll be a "rebuild" as I bought the Peerless in 1985. Just have to figure out how to make the rear stringer for the tractor. Shouldn't be that hard.

In HO scale that's going to be a huge building.

I already have a Peerless log trailer waiting for mine.

The WorkStar uses the LoneStar/ProStar cab?

This is a welcome kit. I noticed on a Spaulding that this kit & the Peterbilt 352 are pre-offered at $44.95. Considerably more than their previous offers. Oh well. The price of oil I guess.

Have you tried Fierball Model Works: http://www.fireballmodels.info/? He specializes in helicopter decals. Or maybe Cobra Company: http://www.cobracompany.com/indexfeb.htm He has some decals.

Just about anything will look good behind this tractor. The any of the AMT Fruehauf trailers, or the Ertl Great Dane trailers. Maybe even the Moebius Great Dane trailer. The Wilson Livestock trailer will not fit due to the fixed fifth wheel and the belly on the trailer. Also, you might have to widen the hole in the fifth wheel to accept to AMT kingpin.

Looks great! I like the headliner. Great details.

Great looking daycab.

Here are a few more that my dad has made over the last few years: a car carrier (looks a little like a Ford Model TT), a dump truck, Jeep, and a quint. Let's just say that since his retirement, he has enjoyed spending time in hit workshop making toys for his 5 grandkids. He's made all sotrs of things: a barn, baby pull toys, rubber-band powered dragsters (they actually didn't work as well as planned), doll houses, train, biplane, & a helecopter. We've started to call him "Geppetto"!

Nice collection of Hollywood trucks. I like them.

Thanks, guys. They're quite nice, and I hope they'll be around for a long time.

For my son's seventh birthday, my dad made him some toy trucks. He made him a tractor (that looks sort of like a cross between a HET and a Kenworth), a side dump trailer, (yes, it actually works) and a lowboy trailer. I figured you guys would enjoy seeing them, so I snapped a couple of pics of them while they are still photogenic.

Quite nice.
