IPMS Duneland show, part 10

Customized 1/25 scale Revell '77 Jeep CJ-7 built as a custom painted Levi Edition with oak wood bumpers, hard halfdoors, Warn winch, custom "Hush Thrush" exhaust system with block hugger headers, and no top. Due to limited detail and poor fit on the engine, the engine cover is permanently sealed.

Custom diecast of a 1920s Federal 2 1/2-ton flatbed truck, made from a thrift store find of a vintage Chevron gas station promotional toy. Took quite a bit of hunting to figure out what kind of truck this casting is supposed to represent, ultimately got it down to 3 candidates, those being Fageol, International and Federal, after 20 minutes or so on Google Images I narrowed it down to being a circa 1924-28 Federal “deuce and a half” with a typical simple wood and steel open cab as typically fitted to trucks of this era. The bed of this custom is made of basswood craft/hobby lumber cut, glued and fit together, then painted before going onto the basic casting.

Started the AMT 1/25 White Western Star Coca-Cola. Lots of flash on heavy gating - Bandai this is not.
