A nice shot you set up there Brian. It's amazing how accurate these new Ho vehicles are today.
Thanks.

Thanks Alco Fan - Yes it is amazing the detail on vehicles now and how in-expensive some are compared to 10-20 years ago

Thanks Royal Blue i will have to get a shot of all my Ford vehicles in ho scale for you - The 79 ford truck is a life-like from the 80's. I took a silver (chrome) paint pen and did the grill shell and bumpers to highlight them. I wish someone like Busch would do this year of truck and the 69-72 and 73-77 models. i would buy all. Wouldn't mind a few Grand Torino's like Starksy and Hutch. The Ford Granda is a Fresh Cherries release

MB thanks for your observation - Yes - I need to "fix the floor" but it kinda gives the truck a launch look - I do have styrene sheets to fix

Streets are styrene sheets i custom cut -then painted with Krylon Ultra flat black paint. The striping is from Scale Scenics which are then dull coated to seal them but as you can see from pics -i must have not coated some sections as they are popping up. The stripes are adhesive backed but adhesive is not strong enough if you don't dull coat them

In the past, I've used yellow automotive pin-striping for the lines. Worked well.

I love the Granadas!
