Stan Trzoniec,
I loved the article Build an Unloading Ramp and I think I am going to do something like that but I have another question. In the first page picture where did you get the John Deere Gator with the guy sitting in it from?
I would like to get one.
Tks,
Kev.
i plan on this,im going to get away with it by popcycle sticks and mog pog glue,me and my son are doing it as a art project tomarrow. its a cheap way of doing it,ive done a water tower out of a coffee can and p.sticks and it turned out cool,as long as you know what your doing to get away cheap and working with what you got.
Stan and CTT,
I agree with Kev, this was a fantastic article.
Chad,
Have you posted photos of your water tower? I would like to see and learn how you did it.
Joe
I don’t know where Stan got his, but I got mine at Wal Mart four or five years ago, and I think Kent got one on the web (probably Diecast Direct. If you look at a few of Stans previous articles, I think you’ll find it in several other photos.
OH No Bob, Please don’t tell me I have to go to Wal Mart. [:S]
I checked Diecast Direct yesterday but don’t see anything in scale. I will keep looking.
Chad. I have also found that coffee stir sticks work well for projects. They are not as wide as popcicle sticks and are closer to a scale 2’X12" board. Just a thought.
Thanks guys.
Yea whenever I walk into a Starbucks, I always walk out with a handful of stir sticks.
This was out several years ago, so it wouldn’t be in stock at Wal Mart. Kent did check Diecast Direct this afternoon and found a truck/trailer/and Gator available, but he said the scale was uncertain. I think he said the whole set was 8 inches long (about 36 feet in O).
Bob,
I saw that truck/trailer/&gator too but also was not sure of the scale.
I will just keep looking around.
I have a layout figure I call scale Gale I take with me when we are shopping so I can see how toys scale up. She has helped me a lot. [:-^]
Thanks
