Truck under repair

I built this Jordan truck kit with modifications including replacing the front hood with a radiator and an engine.  I also added a wood bed in the rear as it only had a frame.  I also added headlights which I attached to the sides of the radiator.  


I made the engine from some scrap metal parts, painted it silver then added a wash of rust using my bottle of alcohol with orange acrylic paint mixd in.  I also put some of that wash on the radiator.

Above is a rear view of the truck.  I placed the truck in front of the truck repair shop.  

I now have no more room on my layout for structures so they will either be placed on a shelf or will replace an existing structure.

Truck repair shop complete

 I added the storage shed and an oil tank at the rear of the building along with a few more signs.


The shed door is a metal commercial part.


Now that this structure is complete I will build a truck or two that need repair.

Truck repair shop progress

I have completed the office part of the truck repair shop.  It is attached to the right side of the garage,  There is a front porch/ loading dock with a variety of details on it and various vehicle related signs on the walls.


The details on the porch include a tire, a chair a figure a broom and and a vehicle engine.  


To finish this up I will build a storage shed for truck parts.
