Crate shop model start

 This model is a crate shop that builds and repairs crates.  This is the main building with more to be constructed.  There is interior details but more will be done on an open shop area to the left of the main structure.  


You can see some of the interior details but the roof is yet to be added.  The platform by the door slopes down to the area of the outside shop. 



Above is a view of the right side.  Next I will add the roof and the outside shop area.

Truck model using SS Ltd kit

 This truck model was made using the SS Ltd Panel Delivery truck kit.  I built one of these before but this time I modified it.  I removed the rear part of the panel truck and substituted an open platform for hauling things.  I have not added a load yet since I am not sure what I will use it for.  


This model is the green truck on the left.  The other is the kit I built some time ago as designed.  


Above is a rear view of the trucks.  I put a panel door on the back of the cab on this truck.   

Years ago I bought a number of SS Ltd kits and have built most of them but still have some.  These kits have great castings but I find them a pain to build.  One kit I still have is the Case Threshing machine steam traction engine kit.  I have decided I will not build this kit but instead will use the parts for various models over time.  

Next I will build a structure kit.
