| GMC 'Cargo Transit' truck I worked my way through high school and university by painting houses. By a funny set of circumstances, I ended up painting a house in Burlington, Ontario that was converted into the office for a transportation company called 'Cargo Transit'. The co-owner of the business was a man named Ron Foxcroft, who went on to develop and market the Fox40 whistle, used around the world by referees in every sport, both professional and amateur. As a gift to Ron, I built a model of one of his trucks and managed to take a few photos of it. I scanned the photos recently and did some colour correction. Base Kit(s): AMT(?) 1/25 scale GMC truck (don't know the details) Finished: late-1970's Modifications/Additions: scratchbuilt rack behind cab made of soldered square brass tubing added rusted jewellery chain fenders cut from a tin can, aluminum tubing used for exhaust stack custom made license plates paint is probably Testors spray can hand painted Cargo logo and black strips dry transfer lettering and yellow pinstriping tape used Click on Thumbnail to see detailed image, these are 800 x 600 and should load resonably quickly, depending on your connection speed. |
