Okay, I have the first set of vehicles that I can make available:

A 1975 (?) Dodge van and a 1972 Ford Econoline Van:


Hmm I wonder if the 74 or 75 Econoline is similar - I need Ford somethings to fill up my Bi-level autoracks circa 74/75.

Mark the '74 has the same body style. The '75 was changed with a longer hood out front.                                   Rich

I got my shipment late last week and they look very nice. I was going to paint them up and show them on the weekend update, but got distracted on installing the venting for my spray booth in my new workshop.  :facepalm:

I have been thinking about the windshield  and windows. I have some thin clear plastic that might work by "heat forming", but I haven't tested it yet.

Looking forward to more releases in the future.

Best wishes, Dave

I have four more vehicle types available.  The images are of the castings this time, they are cast in gray.  I cleaned up the flash in the window openings a little so you can see the interior on these, but you will have to trim the flash off yourself on most of them.  The bodies are just sitting loose on the chassis so the rake may look a little strange on some of them.  You will need to carefully position them for final assembly.

Anybody got any ideas for the windshields?


Hmm... maybe you could

Hmm, the picks above have open windows and appear to have interiors.

The picks here appear to have filled in windows: https://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?topic=29984.0

Do we need to carve out the windows?

First thing we should do is combine the threads.  :lol:

They have a very, very thin film over the openings that is removed in seconds with a sharp knife.

Nice castings. No bubbles visible on the ones I received.

Best wishes, Dave

Yes you can.

I used Gloss Medium to do the windows in mine.

Rasputin, are going to set up a website for ordering or eBay store eventually?  Also, any chance of a short bed version of the Ford pick-up?  I have bilevel autoracks to fill and need some variety.

I'm not sure why Catt started another thread on Brian's vehicles since a well-established thread is still quite active.  :facepalm:

Someone suggested a product called Gallery Glass for making windows, but I haven't tried it myself yet. 

Sorry, no website or eBay stores. Just trying to help fellow N scale modelers.

Michael, I'm interested in seeing how gloss medium works if you have any pictures...

Hmm... why hasn't anybody tried Microscale Krystal Klear? After all, it is designed specifically for this task.  It has been mentioned, but nobody seems to have actually tried.  When I get my order in, I'll give it a try.
