I’ve wanted to do one of these for a while now. Athearn John Deere Grader and two Ralph Ratcliffe snowplows. The rear plow had some frame modifications as I was assembling it, and the framework was all scratch built. Steve

I have been working on a multitude of HO logging vehicles as of late, all are painted, weathered and detailed however none have any decals. They are HO / 1:87 scale and I am looking for someone to design and print some decals for me showing the company name and a symbol or design as the...

Well, I’ve taken quite a liking to customizing and painting 1:87 vehicles. I have always enjoyed painting and weathering trains for my display case (no layout) but never really gave much thought to the vehicles until I recently built my photo diorama. After taking a few pictures of the trains...

So as you can tell by my user name, I am big into collecting and building Snowplows. I always keep my eyes open for unique ones that I havent seen before, creative custom jobs etc, well I ran across this one the other day on an online auction site. From what I know Walthers never made a...

I have been wanting one of those "Jet Snowblower" kits from Custom Finishing for years now, but have always been detered by it being a metal (pewter) kit. I had no experiance with them before and they are a little pricy to experiment with. Anyway, I finally ordered it a few days ago and it...
