Here are some photos of my son's latest creation. This was a collaborative effort: Marilla (9) removed some of the parts from the trees, Matthew (7) removed parts fro the trees & built the truck, and I trimmed that parts as necessary with the hobby knife & did a little painting. Oh, and I repaired the shifter that got broken.

The kit is the Monogram 1/32 Ford AeroMax120 (LTLA9000) that was released back in the 1990s, and the trailer is a 1/32 NewRay diecast that I got from a member on another group several years ago.

Hope you enjoy the shots. Yes, it's "ice road truckin'"!

Nice....I had wondered where you go the trailer, as that kit just got re-released on the market just a couple of weeks ago, but no trailer.

Think the new one is molded in white this time around though.

Thanks, guys. I'll pass along the good word. I think he wants to do some more builds. We'll have to see what happens for Christmas.

Scott, I just ordered one of the reissues from my LHS, and am looking forward to building it. These 1/32 kits sure take up less room that the 1/25!
