1:24 scale models
I got six structures a early tank truck, a 3 foot gauge work truck and a small wood coal mine car. The models were first built 20, 30, 40 years ago. I can' remember. I took them off the shelf in  August of 2022, dusted them off ,made repairs,and added  more clutter. I added a barn-wood frame around the edge of the ply-wood base. I build a base  for the two trucks and coal car. Out of barn-wood.
 photo  #1...  of the nine models at the gallery in Helper Utah They were on displayed from summer of 2022 to summer of 2025 when the gallery closed it's doors.

 photo #2... of the six  structures in there traveling boxes. The bottom, back and two sides are ½ inch ply-wood nailed together. I added wood Handel's to the sides to help when moving. I made the inside of the box to match the base of the model. ,so the model will slide in and out. After sliding the model into the wood part of the box. I made the top and front out of card board and taped them to the wood box

These a great. Thanks for sharing them. There is something of Berndt and Hilla Becher's photographs about the way you presented them
You may ask yourself: "Well, how did I get here?"
