A small save and rebuild
By Johnny M · PostedOh many thanks -- this is great ! I will turn this info over to my computer and graphics manager next time she comes over. I know we can take this and go with it. I have quite a few trucks that could really use some good door signs. They're mostly 1:43 and 1:24. Johnny -
A small save and rebuild
By Chariots of Fire · PostedJohnny: It's done on a graphics program and then sent to the special printer for decals. Micrographx which is now owned by Corel, I think, is what I use. It is vector based which means all of the line work is smooth and not pixelated like it would be if you tried to do designs in Windows Paint. -

By Johnny M · PostedThanks! Looks like time to brush up on my computer skills (a lot!). I could really use some good door signs. They add that perfect touch to truck models. Got it ! I'll get my granddaughter to teach me how 😎 Johnny -

By Chariots of Fire · PostedAll of the signage are decals done on my computer and ALPS printer. The model is 1/25 scale. Remember that these vehicles were very small in comparison to today's big pickups. Basically the same size as a Model A Ford. -

By Johnny M · PostedSweet! Love the two-tone green and black. How did you do the door signs -- or did you find them in your door sign drawer? Also, that doesn't look too big, maybe 1:43 or 1:50? That's my favorite size range. Johnny -

A small save and rebuild
By Chariots of Fire · PostedIt does function, Vince. I bought a set of gears and found large and small ones that had the same tooth arrangement. I drilled holes in the larger ones and then fitted brass shafts to each one. It took a bit of trial and error fitting to get the gears to mesh well and turn with the hand crank but they worked out well. -

By vincen47 · PostedThat’s a beautiful little rig. Nice save! Great details in the bed. The tool box contents are awesome. The boom looks to be fully functional with that level of detail.
