I find model expos a most humbling experience (the same feeling I get looking at Cliff Reed's work). When it comes to the world of trucks, if you want a particular model, you need to scratch build. I've done a lot of conversions, but these scratch builds are just at another, almost unfathomable level. Here's some truck models in 1/24 from one show that you'll unlikely ever see on your shelves:

1 NNL East 19 005
1 NNL East 19 006
1 NNL East 19 029
NNL East 19 004
NNL East 19 007
NNL East 19 008
NNL East 19 010

 

NNL East 19 011
NNL East 19 013
NNL East 19 015
NNL East 19 016
NNL East 19 029
NNL East 19 030

and, for a bit of whimsy, Wiley Coyote's radio-controlled, jet-powered C-10:

NNL East 19 028

Amazing. I never had the skill or patience to scratch build much.

I love trucks.  Have a lot of First gear trucks in both 1/24 and 1/38.  Were all of those metal or some plastic kits?

These are scratch built; not kits.... that's what's so amazing.
