misterNNL Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 Blair,if you ever decide to attend of of our Toledo evnts please be sure to bring your whole fleet of these trucks along.I'm sure everyone would really enjoy seeing them.Seeing this one makes me want to go back to a couple of the Divco projects I have in process.So many models.......so little time !!

misterNNL Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 Blair,did you make scale drawings of the larger panels of your truck when you were building it?I would like to see you post photos of them if you did.If we had the panel drawings for the cowl/windshield,side panel,doors,roof and rear section panel that we could enlarge to the size we needed we could use those to create our own versions of your bread truck. Thanks...Tom
bpletcher55 Posted July 20, 2014 Author Posted July 20, 2014 no TOM ,I did not the drawlings are just free hand drawlings i do of the models befor i build them ,
Tom Geiger Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 no TOM ,I did not the drawlings are just free hand drawlings i do of the models befor i build them , I will usually create the body from card stock before carrying the design over to sheet plastic. Card stock is cheaper than sheet plastic!
bpletcher55 Posted July 20, 2014 Author Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) I just love the smell of plastic in the morning , I do better with plastic sheets ,i have a 1/24th scale ruler and using it works for me ,when I get my dremel going and the plastic is flying i,m in haven , THANKS TO EVERY ONE FOR THE KIND COMMENTS ,THE NEXT ONE WILL BE THE 1950 CHEVY FRONT END , Edited July 20, 2014 by bpletcher55
misterNNL Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Blair,you will love being retired.I know I certainly do.I retired three and a half years ago at age 68 and am having the time of my life building models again full time.Be sure to post the new one with the '50 chevy front end.If you PM me your email addres I will send you a couple pictures I took of a van at the Goodguys Nationals in Columbus,Ohio a couple weeks ago with a really kool paint patina paint job,
DumpyDan Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Wow that is totally cool, you have cornered the market on these trucks. I am so jealous. BEAUTIFUL!
