TD4438, and anyone else who wants a closer look at the models in the shop picture.

Thanks for the nice comments my friend. Been building since around '57 or so and that's only the second one I've seen in plastic.  I think that one of the  "mints" (I thing they call'em that because of there prices. LOL) has a stock version diecast of a Henry J with the little tires, stock grill, bumpers and all the trimmings but it's kinda pricey though. Maybe one of the Japanese "knock off" companies has one of their $10 ones out. I've gotten a few of those to use in my photography and for the price they're not too bad.

i guess i was just relating to how difficult the real thing is to find.let alone the same thing in plastic.i have a 49 henry j,and it took years for me to find a plastic model.the model was part of the revell saints and sinners group.its a 51.your builds look great.

Not sure I understand your question or comment. All of the photos are of models of mine and the orange pickup is also a model I got about thirty years ago in a trade or a collection purchase, it's been so long that I don't remember. But to help clarify, all the photos are models built by either me or my brother. Wouldn't it be nice if the model companies took note of the prices the older trucks are bringing and come out with some new truck tools. I'd love to have a plastic rollback for my "shop".

that sixty-one ford uni-body ford is freakin-awsome.this &(%^&&$#)(stuff is really your's.not that its not yours but i dont remember the last 61 ford uni-body pick-up i saw.live or dead.i worked with a man who owned a 62 chev. uni-body.personaly i didnt believe g.m.  made one.why is it that every ford pick-up model that you see that is pre-1980 for sale on e-bay seeems to sell for top dollar?

Thanks, that Merc was a weekend build a few years back. Don't know what the deal about badmouthing the Polar Lights kits was about, that one just about fell together. 'Course I don know that if you build a race car that you've got to have a "welder". LOL If it don't fit keep cuttin' until it does.

All right, before I leave for band practice, here's the Dodge (which was a prepainted '65 and not a '64, sorry for the confusion).................

 

the trailer (built using part of the AMT Haulaway Trailer for the semi tractors with some scratchbuilt running gear fenders and hitchpoint.................................

 

the '63 Chevy (just a diecast to use for set dressing"

 

and the "comfortable old shoe" '61 Ford PU (an original AMT kit with a resin hood to replace the original that got warped)

 

Please keep'em comin'.Love that Mercury.
