These are models of trucks I’ve done for customers a few years back, they were made from pictures of the vehicles.

How do you do this! I invision hundreds of hours carving and sanding.
It must be possible because I see it with my own eyes.

Alain,

I love posts like this. These are really wonderful pieces that are so rich in details. I could not imagine the patience or perseverance necessary to complete something like this. I just would not have the patience to do it.
But I enjoy looking nonetheless.

Thanks for the post.

Hey Studeag ; Did you build the tankers by means of veneer over a frame? Planked like a boat? As always, your work looks great. Brian.

The tankers were built from solid wood, I have turned a cylinder, than split it in two, added a piece of wood to get the look of an oval with a flat portion on the top for the rail and at the bottom for the frame of the tanker.

That is so amazing. I love your work. I think if I ever get this fire truck finished that will be next challenge. Everything looks so polished and exact. The lines are trim and the curves don’t vary. I am in awe.

I want to try to find some pics of a large truck so I can get some details for my plan. Any truckers out there with a kenworth, let me know if you have pic you can send me.
