What a transformation. This truck looks like it has done some hard travelling as well as farm hauling!

I had watched part of this a while ago but never finished it, and just noticed that, so I did now. Great job on the truck, I've got some vehicles on my layout that could benefit from this. I should plop them on my workbench right now so I can't put it off. But I was amazed that you have the same burnishing tool that I do. I didn't know it was still available. I had gotten mine at work back in the 80s when I was doing type layout and pre-press work at a printing company. When I retired, I still had it even though I had moved to doing my work on computers for many years. So it naturally went in my workbench toolbox, where it's often come in handy. Very cool. Great video as usual. 👍

I just got a jar of frisket, a type of latex mask to use on parts I don't want painted. I find myself revisiting some of your videos as I am completely inspired by your videos and techniques. I've got to get a jar of Tamiya clear red for tail lights. Cheers - eastern TN

Wonderful video. really like your videos. Please keep them coming. Especially the weathering.

@rwissbaum9849 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the compliment! I confess I have a hard time with weathering. I'm an engineer, and a bit anal retentive, so it's hard for me to take a pristine model and dirty it up with paints and other foreign substances. But, I keep trying...

Hi, we are currently speeding up our filming production for our 24 hour streaming Chanel next year. our goal is to show all the amazing people in our little section of Colorado. Your amazing talent is just the kind of thing we want to share with everyone. We would like to interview you, and feature your model work. January will be the soonest time we will be available to film. We will travel to you, and do all the filming on our own expense, and it will not cost you anything. If you are interested please let us know. Thank you!

Thanks for your interest, but although I model - loosely - a portion of the D&RGW railroad in the San Luis Valley, I actually live in Missouri, so I'm not at all sure you'd care to travel all this way. Good luck with your venture.

Nice job!! Very effective weathering!! Looks very much like your reference photo. Your links did not include the model. What company made it and is it still available? Thx!

@rwissbaum9849 9 месяцев назад

I have no idea who made this or where I bought it. (That's one of the pitfalls of being a model railroading pack rat!) You can barely see the inscription "made in China" on the under side of the truck early in the video; but there are no other clues. HOWEVER, I searched for "HO scale model A pickup" and found a photo that looks very much like my model, described as an Athearn model. I searched for "Athearn HO scale model A pickup" and found several links. It appears that the model is out of production, but I found this listing on eBay: www.ebay.com/itm/175914170609?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=175914170609&targetid=1531876731998&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9023531&poi=&campaignid=19851828444&mkgroupid=145880009014&rlsatarget=pla-1531876731998&abcId=9307249&merchantid=6296724&gclid=CjwKCAiA0syqBhBxEiwAeNx9N3ConE7X62vjsI7mNgdf_aK2KEhFcI_IDY1n6ginMiZZX7uBM3_sTxoCCWkQAvD_BwE But don't get too hung up on the exact model! Find a car or truck that you like - maybe you even have one already - and do the same steps. Start with something cheap first, so you aren't risking an expensive model. Good luck and thanks for watching.

The two companies that I know of that make similar models are Rusty Rails and Highway Miniatires. I have some of each.

@paullindell 9 месяцев назад

Nice project. I left a reply to some one else's question on finding a similar models. The three I came up with are Rusty Rails in resin and Highway Miniatures in styrene and a third company I think is called Wheel Works done in white metal.

@rwissbaum9849 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the info, Paul. Jordan Highway Miniatures are no longer in production, but they can still be found on eBay and at swap meets. Wheel Works are now made and sold by Micro Engineering. I have several Rusty Rails kits myself - they are nicely detailed and very reasonably priced. Another good supplier of HO vehicles is Classic Metal Works. GHQ Models is another maker of white metal kits. They have just a couple of cars, but they have a HUGE assortment of farm equipment.
