Title: Mid 30's barrel truck in 1/87
Post by: chester on May 03, 2010, 05:07:19 PM
Re Paul's (Roughboy) photos of a mid 30's mixer truck    http://www.finescalerr.com/smf/index.php?topic=524.msg7418#msg7418 

Here's a 1/87 version I did some time ago with the help of a Rio Grande kit. Not a great model but I thought it was appropriate to his posting since it was green.

Yup, it's green alright....and I'm green with envy looking at it.
What a cool truck.  Nice build, Chester.

Cool truck and build.

...I gotta ask...how many trucks do you have in your collection?....seems like an endless supply ;) ;D

Marc, the collection is constantly being thinned. I sell many of the vehicles (to pay for more modeling stuff). A rough estimate however is that I've converted and/or kit bashed somewhere in the neighborhood of 800 1/87 scale vehicles over the years.
