Hi. Thought I would post this pick to show I am not dragging my heels with a few things.

These are my 3 CMP trucks I am currently doing.

From the left......#11 cab Ford F60H 6 X 4(to be a wrecker in time)
#12 cab F60L 4 X 4 GS
#13 cab C60S 4 X 4 ambulance (Aust)

within the next 3 weeks I will have the necessary supplies to finish the cab 12 & 13 but the Cab 11 6 X 4 is a long term project and will be left as a cab and chassis for a while.



As usual any comments are welcome

PS> sorry about the picture Quality

No good, must buy more trucks....must buy more trucks.
Need one Ford and two Chevy's....but they'll never be as good as yours Cliff. We have the same basic kits, the same materials to scratchbuild, but there is something more about a 'Roo Truck'.

Hi. Thought I would post this pick to show I am not dragging my heels with a few things.

You are definitely not dragging your heals. Looks like "Old" Henry Ford would be mighty proud to have a "Roo" truck himself. These are up to your usual standard(Outstanding) and I for one can't wait to see them finished.

Howdy "Roo,

Thx for posting pics of your ' kids' And I must say, they sure are growing up to be a bloody good-looking brood!

Your wrecker (#11 cab) is looking good, did I miss posted photos of the in-progress frame/suspension bashing efforts on this one? I generally only get a few minutes to scan the 'latest posts' section, so I guess I could have missed it, or more likely a memory failure on my part.
The cargo hauler (#12 cab) is coming along nicely as well. Both of these trucks are done utilizing the front section of the Ford 'Quad' correct?
And of course your ambulance is sweet. And this one is from the Chevy 15CWT kit? (by the way, I'm still trying to acquire one of those for ya, if I ever get the time to get away from work).

Nice stuff pardner. But let's recap. You've got 1 wrecker...1 slab-sided cargo truck.....and 1 hard-sided ambulance....hmmmmmm, for the life of me I can't find anything SOFT about any of them! This is called a Softskin build....right??

......ohhhhh, stop chuckling and give us a kiss! :-) :-)

Tread.

Thanks Tread. go to https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/29716&page=1
for the rear suspention build. I actually put it in the scratchbuilders forum.

The #11 & #12 cab fronts did indeed come from the Tamiya Quad kit, BUT! with a lot of work to correct the faults to the floor pan in the front area and also moving the engine back in the frame so a radiator can be fitted. I did this as I will be (thanks to Rob Burnside) putting Aber PE mesh in the grills so this will be seen.

The Cab 13 ambulance is indeed the Italeri chev 15cwt kit. with a stretched frame.

thanks for your comments
Cliff

PS> Dave your trucks are as good as mine so please do not put yourself down.

PSS> Tread no Kiss for you as you are not my type (LOL) :-) :-) :-) sorry

Looking very nice Cliff,
I too can't wait to see them finished. :-)

That's one heck of an assembly line there Cliff. They all look very good in their respective stages of completion.

You certainly are the "King of Trucks"!

Wow Cliff, exeptional as usual. Just when I thought you reached the top of the scrachbuilding possibilities - you proved me wrong. Looking forward to that wrecker! Keep on the good work.

Where do you find all the info you need for your builds?

Mainly on the net and from people that restore the real thing. I am also lucky that in my younger days I owned a few of them as well and Have had an interest in military WW2 trucks for 40 years when as a kid I had a 'Dinky' toy military collection that I wish I still had.

thanks for your kind comments and as usual if I can help with information etc I will, so do not hesitate to ask!

Mr Roo the master of ugly Vehicle convertions !!!!!!!!!
I like very much the sophisticated work u do Cliff!!!
