Cranky-

This is all fantastic and very realistic. I love the work that you do and I am still waiting to try it. One question. What ModelHaus tire and wheel numbers are those on the blue truck with the webbing? Those are perfect for this style of truck.

The Modelhaus number for the tires is #190. It's a great set.

looking good in the first post how did you weather the wood for the bed? and also what are you using for the wood popsicle sticks or balsa wood? thanks

[Dr. Cranky]

I use bass wood from a company called KEPPLER, and I weather it by cutting grooves with a hobby blade, then staining it with the usual india ink/alcohol mixture . . .

I think I just took pictures of this one in the raw plastic, then of the finished model. If you look around there are other builds where I focus on the step-by-step.

This truck looks like it's a WW 3 veteran. In other words, perfect.

[Dr. Cranky]

Thanks for all the kind words.
