For those who are not interested in Scale Auto Mag....

Gary's great build that he showed us through the WIP's of his pick-up/campter with the sprint car on the trailer was one of the pics published from the IPMS/USA Nationals show at Phoenix

Dang....I just saw this post. Thank you very much for the GREAT COMPLIMENTS...folks. It was a very interesting trip down to Pheinox Az. to say the least. There were some outstanding builds on the tables. The Race Team finished 3rd (at least it was a podium finish...eh?) in it's category.


Coming from up here in the GREEN BELT(if you will) and driving down thru the Calif. Valley with ALL the fires going on was a trip that my wife and I won't forget. That whole valley was filled with smoke from Redding down to Bakersfield. It had that camp fire smell all the way to the hills above Bakersfield. Then...we get into Arizona...and the sand storm from hell blew in. Luckily...we checked into our motel room at Wickenburg Az. We watched all the trees and loose debris fly every where in the 45 deg sand storm. It was a huge trip...will never forget it.

Thanks again for the compliments....

Wow! Absolutely beautiful work! It looks like museum quality to me. I really like the curtain effect in the camper windows. Nice Touch!

I give it an 11, two thumbs up, and a triple WOW!...

Congrats to Gary on the beautiful build and the photo in Scale Auto. I referred to his build sequence on the trailer just yesterday to see where he got the slam locks for the trailer. Found the info I needed.....these articles from several of the seasoned builders are a great help for personal projects.

Thanks for taking the time to document the builds.
