Popular Post Ron Johnson Posted September 29, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 Kenworth tractor trucks made of poplar that had been aged over 20 years. Pattern is from toy making plans.com if anyone is interested. A lot of parts and very enjoyable making.

jerry walters Posted September 29, 2023 Report Share Posted September 29, 2023 Ron, After seeing some of your cars from toymakingplans.com I decided I wanted to give it a try and ordered some cars. I am anxious to give it a try. After viewing the plans I don't think they will be too difficult but quite detailed. Have to finish current projects and get ready for the upsoming holdidays. Thanks for your posts and giving those of us who have been stuck in a rut to try something new. Thanks Ron, Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 Brings back some memories. Before I got into scrollsawing as my main hobby some 45 years ago I use to build the plastic Ertel and Revell model trucks of all kinds. I use to make them as realistic as possible. Paint schemes to ones that were on the road as well as opening the doors and hoods to reveal the interiors where I would use fiber optic cables to make the lights on the dash work as well as headlights and tail lights and marker lights and so on. I would put leather on the seats and and make the sleeper car decked out. Those were fun times because that time trucking was big because of the CB phase. When I got out of that phase and into scrollsawing I sold all my models for cheap. I look at the prices now and cringe. Good times. Your work looks great and I am sure they will be well received.

Thanks John. The trucks you made must have been amazing for the amount of detail you put in to them. Love to see photos of some of them if you have any.
