Just got this finished and thought I'd throw it in for AMOM. It's the 1/35 RPM Model T Ford truck. I built it for the Move it again campaign and based it on a photo of a Model T in use with the Irish Free State Army during the civil war. The kit is nice but basic and includes the barrel and ammo boxes in the back. Engine, screen and a few other bits were scratchbuilt.

A little gem Rich, I saw this and the song Johnsons Motor Car immediately came to mind.

Hello Rich:

You scratch built an engine in 1:35th and you don't
have a picture of it? Really? Come on, mate. I for one
would like to see a picture of something that special.
The pix you have included looks really fine. One of
those esoteric models that we rarely see a modeler
do.

Plus, a scratchbuilt engine in 1:35th isn't something to
casually mention, in my view. Inquiring minds want
to know; news at eleven?

Thanks guys. I just posted the best pic. I'd taken a few more but they were indoors and too blurry. I'll be adding this to the campaign gallery anyway so I'll reshoot and add a couple more with the engine visible.

Regards,
Rich

Very nice job Rich. I built that kit a while back, but not nearly as well. You do good work.

A very nice job, on a subject you don't see everyday.
Good luck in the DMOM....
