My twin brother, Larry, built this detailed Divco Model 21 over 40 years ago entirely in brass. This was decades before Danbury brought out their gorgeous, smaller Divco shown recently in detail by Rich Sufficool.

The local dairy in our home town had one of these larger Model 21 Divcos sitting derelict behind their building back in the '70s, and they not only allowed him to photograph and measure the old vehicle, they also found and gave him the maintenance/parts manuals for the truck. The brass scratchbuilt project took him almost a complete year of spare time and it's been kept in fine shape in a display case ever since.

Once again, AMAZING work. I can't imagine perfecting body lines in sheet brass.
