OK, I'll add one I finished in December. I was going to post this 1926 Mack AC4 tractor in the finished section, but it fits for February.

I cut down a 1926 Mack log truck to a proper 122 inch wheel base.

I scratch built a period correct fixed table 5th wheel out of the bottom of a medicine bottle and sheet plastic. The updated 1926 headlights and triple tire rear wheels are resin products from Industrial Model Design by Richard Mark.





This truck is meant to look like a used truck that has been pretty well kept up. Remember, in this era things like a roof, head lights, tail lights and other such things were options. The wheels and frame are flat coated; the cab and hood are gloss coated. I thought that might make it look a little more like a used truck. The doors dropped down into the side of the cab. So I only put one coat of gloss coat on the passenger door to make it look a little different since it would have been down and protected from the sunlight the rest of the cab was exposed to. The seams on the cab are period correct for the way the cab was built in 1926.

After looking at the other entries I decided to add mine to broaden the field.
Monogram Mack Beerwagen showrod modified and painted in the colors of the company my sister used to drive for. I added doors and computer printed logos for the company.


Finished version included a scratch built windshield and side mirrors but I made the mistake of letting her see it before I had taken the finished pictures of it. It vanished and I only have these two pictures.
