I finally hooked my scanner up so I can scan some of my old photographs. Here is a scaned photo of the truck I was trying to replicate:

You did a great job! Do you work for R.B. Humphreys?

You did a great job! Do you work for R.B. Humphreys?

I'm actually R.B.'s grandson. I grew up right in the center of the business. My father and my two uncles took it over when my grandfather retired, and then they sold it to an investment group a few years back when the three of them wanted to retire. The company is still going, but it has decreased in size a little bit over the last few years. My uncle was the last Humphreys to work there, but he left around 2005. I grew up hanging out in the shop and worked there turning wrenches and changing tires for a few years through high school and college.

Oh haha I didn't even notice your name. That's pretty awesome. I work for a trucking company and I was wanting to build a replica of their first truck and what they have now as they just hit their 25 yr anniversary.

Not yet, I actually just got into modeling seriously less than a year ago. Someday I will give him one.

[Trailking120]

I m sure he would love it. At the Fulton Show Gary Wallace sells display cases for this stuff. If you love modeling then you are going to love this show.
