Ford F350 Lawn Service Truck

[Ramfins59]

This is a Ford F350 Duallie I made about 13 years ago as a Lawn Service truck and trailer. The trailer is from a boat trailer with balsa wood sides. The weed whacker, hedge trimmer, wheelbarrow, spreader and lawn mower, rake and some tools are scratchbuilt and the other tools & stuff are pieces of dollhouse and military kit pieces. The stuff in the pickup bed is train grass rocks & pcs. of sticks and pieces of plastic bags stuffed with cotton.

Way to cool, I love all the tools and great idea on the stuffed trash bags.

WOW !!! Rich you build some pretty nice trucks.

[Ramfins59]

Thanks guys. I really had a lot of fun building the Coffee Truck and the Lawn Service Truck. Once I started adding details I sort of got carried away... I haven't built a truck in about 10 years now and I'm gettin the itch to build another one. I usually like to build Street Rods and Customs. I've got a couple of pickup trucks in my "to build" stash or pile and I just have to decide what & how to build it.

Richard

you now need to build a tire service truck... that should cure your itch...

[Sixties Sam]

Very cool! I like the stuff in the bed and trailer. The weed eater and trash bags are great! Looks like you even have a box of Miracle-Gro in there! Great details!

I love the this build. It looks like a lawn service truck we have around me ,just a different color and a whole lot of rust lol.i think I have that same bass boat trailer. Did it come with the revell let's go fishing set.

[zaina]

love these kind of builds. very well done!

[Ramfins59]

Yes I think it was the Gone Fishing kit. I don't remember what I did with the boat, it was so long ago.

Yeah Tom, I'm thinking of some sort of Road Service Truck because I have some Shop Diorama equipment that would work well on a vehicle like that. I'm sort of "in the modeling doldrums" again. The Custom project I was working on went into the paint stripper more times than I have patience for anymore and it is "back in the box". I'm waiting for some idea to GRAB ME that will hold my attention and get the inspirational juices flowing...

[LAone]

wow, awesome details. looks down right fantastic. i dig it.

[High octane]

Nice job on the truck & trailer and I really like all the detail items you have added.

[bbowser]

This is very cool. The trailer is a diorama all on it's own! I keep going back to look and finding more stuff.

[Scalper]

love all the details. like the green paint.

[Ramfins59]

Here are 2 more pictures of the trailer. One of the other side and one showing the inside. The lawn moweer, spreader, wheelbarrow, leaf blower & weed whacker are all scratchbuilt items. The rest of the stuff in there is dollhouse items. The ladder & some of the tools are from military field tools and also dollhouse stuff. This was a fun and time consuming project... aren't they all...???

[Harry P.]

That truck is in way better shape than the trucks the lawn guys around here have!

[Dominik]

oh...i hope, you dont get trouble with the cops, if all the stuff "hang around" at the outside of the trailer?

I wish, i can get all the stuff here...thats cool. More i look on the pictures, more to see new things. Like it!

also i like the F350 too - one of my favorite pickups. a real "mans toy"

[Ramfins59]

Harry, the guys that work off of this truck like to keep it in good shape..

I debated whether or not to dirty it up a lot more when I first built it.

[John Teresi]
