TESTIMONIALS

Now that you have learned a little bit about our work, we want you to see what our customers say after they receive their completed model. We know you will be just as satisfied with your Custom Project!

The Rail Yard cars arrived today. Very nice job! Are you ready to do a couple more? If you're ready for more, I'll check the website and probably pick out a boxcar and another covered hopper. Thanks again,

I am interested in this model

Built from an old Magnuson Models kit, this solid resin cast truck needed a little extra help to get it on it’s way. The rough quality of the castings meant the truck body was carefully sanded to get a smooth finish. The other obstacle with this model was the fact that the rear frame was missing from the kit!

TMB Custom Models quickly scratchbuilt a new frame from ABS channels and I beams using the photos on the box as a guide for scale. The front body was modified with a slot to receive the wheels and axel (the kit specified gluing the wheels directly to the body). The rear frame had bracings installed to receive the rear axel, as well as spacers added to the top of the frame and the underside the bed to assure prefect alignment after painting.

The model was primed before receiving it s coat of red. The underframe was painted black and the tarp cover on the truck bed was painted and weathered to match burlap. Finally details like painting the windows to match tinted windshields and lenses for the headlights were added to complete the model.
