Ramfins59 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1zebra3 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 WOW !!! Rich you build some pretty nice trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramfins59 Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 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.

Sixties Sam Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 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! Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramfins59 Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbowser Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 This is very cool. The trailer is a diorama all on it's own! I keep going back to look and finding more stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalper Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 love all the details. like the green paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramfins59 Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 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. Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 That truck is in way better shape than the trucks the lawn guys around here have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominik Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 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" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramfins59 Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
