Alpha Delta 210 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Beautiful collection! My favourite has to be the breakdown truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I'll second that. The shiny ones are nice to see but the weathering on that one is really appealing for some reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorby Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Excellent work on all of them. Lovely collection! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old John Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 Agree my favorite is the scrapper tow truck ,I do also like the green LWB side tipper. The other 3 are Ok for when I built them, but now think trucks without a little weathering look strange. Saying that I have a American tow truck in my stash which I am hoping to extend & build out of the factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon that the contrast between the shiny & weathered ones makes for a much more interesting collection! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 The scrapper indeed! The covered drop side takes second place with me. They are all great and form a superb collection. I have the tanker in the stash, these trucks are just so cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) Superb, your rest from the hobby hasn't lessened your skills, very well done! I've only built the short tipper.... Edited November 17, 2019 by PatW 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevejj Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Love the niel Bartlett lorry. I'm from Coventry where he is based. They have a few old HGV' s they take to shows but don't know if the Bedford is still extant. Great work Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old John Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 Thank you all for the kind comments. Like the tipper Pat W very much a unusual build. Just been down to Telford for IPMS show.Great weekend but seeing some of the wonderful stuff people produce, brings it home to you how far I have to go. I will never reach their level. Time is not on my side for one thing. That's my excuse & I'm sticking to it Ha Ha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastcat Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Hi Old John, Great collection and some lovely schemes. What a pleasure to see something a bit different from the usual vehicle builds. Nice work. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince1159 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Lovely builds especially the first one,if i had the skill (which i don't) i'd love to build a couple of the Dodge's from Hell Drivers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richellis Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Cracking builds, have a few in the stash, built this a good few years ago based on a 1:1 I worked on and almost brought. Wish they would re-issue and there was talk of more versions to be done. Let’s hope they do appear! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old John Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 That's a great build Rich.It would be good if Emhar were to release other similar kits,but must admit I will not be holding my breath .The Bedford 1 24th scale trucks were quite out of the ordinary from all of their other stuff . We live in hope never the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SawYed Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Love the weathering on wrecker, I have one I would like to do with the same effect been 3 years now, I daren't start it in case I make a pigs ear of it if you have any pointers and advice it would be most appreciated. I've watched tons of videos on the youtube but still unsure where to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitkent Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Love them all but the recovery one is my favourite too. It looks so good,it looks as though it needs being recovered itself Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR2Don Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Very good selection. Has anybody else noticed that "tow" gets underlined as indicating it's an acronym and the acronym is for "Tube-launched, Optically tracked, Wire-guided missile". WOW!😲 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
