Re: Model Trucks

I build on average 30-40 models a years for customers with my business "Jakes' Ship Shop" (Can't say it right, after you've had a few) and my own collection . One company that does beautiful work is "The ModelHaus"

http://www.modelhaus.com/

Please check them out you will be AMAZED at what they have for your hard to find model cars and trucks. They even offer a re-chroming service or the nw chromed part itself. I've sent many parts to them to have them rechromed becasue when you take off a piece from the plastic tree, a small part of the piece will not be chromed. This takes away from a model that your being paid to build exactly like the owners car.

They make replacement parts for model cars for body styles the original model companies did not produce. For example, no model company ever produced a 1960 GMC. The Hood, Tailgate and Dash are different for a 1960-61 Chevy as you kow. Modelhaus makes the replacement hood and tailgate. All you have to do is re-work the dash and fill in the diffeance.

I've bought many a pieces and the castings are excellent. Hardly ever any airbubbles, they really know their stuff.

BTW my shop is named so because I spec. in restoring and building ship models as well as everything else.

You can see some pic if you want here.

Re: Model Trucks

It seems like there's a model thread every once in awhile. There must be a lot of interest in them on this board!

I've got an overly stupid huge collection of dealer promos and kits, as well as some diecasts. As far as stuff specific to our trucks, I have a lot of it, but never really set out to collect it specifically. I just have a lot of everything, so I have a lot of that too.
