1912 Model A Truck Project

[Alfrik]

Stumbled across a 1:24th scale model T delivery truck at Big Lots store for 4$. The model is die cast and should provide me with the measurements that I need to shrink it down to 1:48th scale size or a size compatable with my 28mm pulp figures I am collecting. Also working on the shape of the bed to allow differing shapes to be put on it should make for a variety of trucks. Anyway, wood blocks should be meeting belt sander soon.

Updates as they happen.

Big Lots is a great place to shop. I have gotten quite a few bargains there.

Got the measurments I needed, going to the belt sander tommorow and rough out some of the parts, though I did have to take the scale down to 1:60 for proper scale.  Just have to avoid the fingers vs belt and hope to see some good progress.

Found this terrific site for Trucks and Trains that fit the period well:
