Sixties Sam Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 On Memorial Day, I saw this Model AA ice cream truck at a local car show, and thought it would be cool to make a model of it or something similar. While trolling eBay, I saw the stock Model T roadster parts from the double kit for sale, so I hit the "buy it now" button. I copied many of the Model AA's features and made this Model T ice cream truck. The ice cream box and cab front are .040" sheet styrene, along with the scalloping on the top (done with a paper punch). The seat cushion and back are stock Model T (the back is cut down a bit), the cloth top is paper, and the Good Humor signs were printed from online. The little brass bell is a cut down horn from the parts box. Paint is Rustoleum white, Krylon Banner red, and Testors wet look clear. This build was fairly simple and lots of fun! I hope you like it!

jeffs396 Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 Nice work as usual Sam! That unique truck would do well on the contest table
Mopar - D Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 Great build and excellent subject for summer time.
Sixties Sam Posted July 15, 2013 Author Posted July 15, 2013 Thanks for all the compliments, guys. My wife loves this model. She says it's "cute!" Sam
heatride Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 Sam that is both beautiful and unique . Very nice !
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 ...Yes, and because of you I'm on the way out the door to get some Eskimo pies. Very nicely done. Interesting Pavlovian response too.
Sixties Sam Posted July 21, 2013 Author Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) Update: I modified a G scale model train figure into an ice cream man and stood him beside his truck. It was in my car show diorama in a display today at a local car show in state College, PA. Here's a pic. He was a popular guy today! Sam Edited July 21, 2013 by Sixties Sam
Danno Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 That dude is smiling so big . . . he seems to be in good humor!
