Old Ford Truck

Phil32 · Nov 20, 2020

Outstanding! The one complaint I have about these miniature vehicles (yours & others) is that real truck bodies of this vintage are not straight from top to bottom. The doors also curve from front to back.
How do I know? From 1976 thru 1988 I was the editor of The Restorer, national magazine of the Model A Ford Club of America. I have studied these vehicles very closely.

GR8 wood combo on this very beautiful model of a classic Ford and no plans makes this project even better you do excellent work GREAT JOB :<))

You are exactly right Phil. I try to get as many of the curves in as I can (with lots of sanding) but that's where I fall short in duplicating the original.

SUPER !! nice job of recreating.

That's one gorgeous Ford truck, the timber selection, the detailing and the finish are superb sir.
For a scratch built model it's a First Place in my books, very well done indeed.

No plans? No problem. Your Ford truck turned out incredible….no plans make it more impressive.

Thanks for sharing.

Quot "I also found a line drawing showing top, front, rear, side and bottom views which I was able to scale and use to make the parts."
This is my favorite way to build a scratch build, just enough info for the shape and size then on you go to make it your own.
Beautiful project, so nicely done!!!

Well done! Very nice. I am a big fan of old trucks too. Current restoring a 49 Chevy 3100.

Very nicely done, great build, and even better being from scratch.

I have never been a big fan of wood models but this changed my mind. This is outstanding!!!

Its amazing, I'm working on a 50's Power Wagon and I have to agree, it's fun to build.

htl · Nov 21, 2020

drogsod's first model that he showed us was the Power Wagon and it's a real beauty.
I also made one and it's one of my favorite builds.

Du travail de maitre
Félicitation!!!!!

drogsod · Nov 22, 2020

Thanks for all the great comments everybody.

Rich1955 - Be sure to post pictures of your Power Wagon when you finish it. As htl mentioned, that's a fun one to work on.
