I just finished this beekeepers truck and placed it on a little tractor barn diorama I did a while ago. The truck is a resin casting of the Wiking 57 Chevy (casting was very poor) I placed on a Trident chassis and put Cutters plain steel wheels on. I buzzed out the casting from the inside for some of the rot and used a liquid mask for the peeled paint. The flatbed, which sits low on beekeepers trucks, is scratch built. Preiser figures.

Poor casting? It doesn't show. The rust holes are very effective. I like the beekeeper diorama also. Thankyou for a slice of rural life.

Chester, the rust looks excellent again, and I really like the rot and the peeled paint on this one too. [nitpicking mode:] I think you may have 'forgotten' one very important utensil though. See www.dave-cushman.net/bee/smok.html[/nitpicking mode] ;D ;D Eric
