i build those and im pretty good at it, why, you want to get rid of some? lol, if free is the price, ill take a few, and ill cover the shipping costs. but i only want some if you have the 81-ish bronco, or the 78-79 bronco, the dually ford f350 or a ford truck of some sort, or a chevy or dodge, pretty much any truck, and if you got a old old mustang or camaro. the last model i built was a 57 bel air gasser drag car.

This is a great idea for a thread Robert. Did you have any more other then the awesome lookin Chevelle Wagon?
Here's a few more of my collection. I moved over to Tamiya models just cause of the attention to detail was so much better.
Everything in the pic were built from a box except for the loader on the trailer, it's a 1/16 diecast

The cab over is a Tamiya 1/14 scale Globeliner. I did it up as a Freightliner cab over.

I remembered the pictures of your collection of tractors.
have you ever checked out 3000 Toys? Huge collection of Die Cast tractors.

Thanks Glenn. It took me about 8 years to build all those, plus the roughly 25 others I have scattered around the room.

Never really got into the model scene... I prefer the 1/1 scale projects!

I think the reason I got into the RC models is because I could never hope to own these truck in this life time in a 1:1 scale
So this is the next best thing...
