Drawings, paintings, what have you?

[E9V8]

Vinny's recent post of his drawings prompted me to do some digging in the closet. Looking back over 30 years revealed some rather hilarious attempts at drawing things that resemble trucks and a few that I'm moderately proud of.

From 1980..... when I was 11 years old:

Not more than a few years later:

Fast forward to 1996:

A "T-T" bike from about the same time period:

An incomplete extended-hood Superliner heavy-hauler (1750hp of 3416 DITA Cat power?):

There's also a few MS Paint "drawings" from the 'puter age:

Pro Street '72 Ford F-100:

I also drew this "hot rod" Wheel Horse........

and when a few of the guys at the Wheel Horse forum saw it, they coaxed me into building it for real:

Feel free to dust off your old drawings & get them up here for the rest of us to see!

I posted all mine so you guys can take a look at them. You are really good!!

Almost forgot this re-Paint.......

"Barry's" R model hot rod ~ "cartoon engine" removed, hood stretched to R-700 length, old-style grille, big bumper/no guard, and generally "cleaned up" :

I have some handmade Mack models I've done over the years I could post, never did much drawing. Pjaul

Thats nice stuff, I like the Brockway, make a nice t shirt. The super and the R are beautifull too, you have some talent there.

[Olivetroad]

Those are really good! We can see how you improved with age!

I never really noticed that you are into Wheel Horse lawn mowers - I was at a auction last week where they sold two older ones. They brought more than the newer other brand tractors did - one of them had a badass hydraulic driven tiller on the back and a chrome exhaust that looked factory.

Thanks for posting the drawings ----

C'mon, now that you brought it up, you have to post photos!

[41chevy]

O.K. here is a few of a few hundred. Built by me over 35 years

Those are cool 41chevy!!! Do you have any U model models you built? Can you post pictures of all them Sidewinders?

I like it better with the Detroit in it but this version looks very good though. I'll post some pics of my drawings tomarrow.

Hey Ben did you see my drawings I posted? I would like to see what your drawings look like compared to mine because we are only a year apart in age.

[Olivetroad]

Those are really cool!

Okay - you can't stop now - keep it up, I know you have more photos in there somewhere............

[GreenGiant2]

i also love the brock drawing, that would look good on a tee shirt.

I still have to scan them all in, but here's one:

It's my dream cabover.

I'll post more pics tomorrow morning.

Ben

[Jocko]

this is cool im postin my pictures up tommorow

[slpwlker]

Wow those are good. Like the Super dog and that R. But all those drawings are great. That Wheel horse looks bad ass.

41 Chevy are those kits or did you make them from scratch? Those are great

[41chevy]

Those are cool 41chevy!!! Do you have any U model models you built? Can you post pictures of all them Sidewinders?

I have one almost U that I built in the late 70's, no quite correct but looks okay to me. I post up tomorrow for you. Paul

Here's some more:

A B61 I'd love to build:

A light sketch of the Convoy Rubber Duck RS700:

An _{International} Transtar II cabover:

Like Vinny said, It's actually really hard to draw dual wheels in 3D.

Ben, there are B model cabs available for scale builders. Check out Ebay.

Back about 4 yrs ago, I frequented a scale truck builders forum(R/C stuff) and there is a guy in NJ that builds all kinds of unique stuff. He scratch built a B and R model cabs. Never saw them in person, they looked very well done. Maybe not "perfect", but nice.

Here's a link to one of the posts:

here's a website someone sent me: Rubber duck model:

Terry, I have a full size version of that ol bumpside Ford truck:

Not quite the full blown "race" version you did, but close as I'll get it.

I made a nice Autocad drawing of it many, many years ago and not sure if I still have the file. I think I kept a printed version at home. Nothing quite like yours, but just simple 2d version.

I had dreams 20+ yrs ago of taking my '66 Cub cadet and putting a Ford 302/automatic in it. Tough old tractors with nice frames for that kind of work.

Nice work!

41 Chevy are those kits or did you make them from scratch? Those are great

They are a combination of kit parts Resin parts and alot of scratch building. Paul

Here is the B61 for Ben and the U (almost) for Vinny and a R410 for Doug.

Sweet!!! I love that U, you did a good job!! Are these kits? Id love to have a U model kit, any U model kit. I knowthe rubber duck model is actually a U model not a R model. Ive seen them on ebay but they are really expensive.

[41chevy]

Vinny' the U that I made is a mix of bits and pieces from a Cruiseliner, a R685 and a DM600. The rear and springs are from my parts box. The rest is scratch built. Its probably the only close to true U model around. Paul

[umodelnut]

I was thinking about getting a DM kit but making it a tandem U model. Do the wheels move on them or hood open things like that?

Rooting around through some old discs & found this:
