Default Oshkosh P-series

I have been working on this for a bit. Slowly getting parts and massaging the styrene. Hopefully it will come out as I am planning. It's by far my favorite truck....building it myself from scratch is much more rewarding. Originally I was going to make it a tractor....but I believe now I will make it a dump, probably screw drive.

Now this is a great build! You have the look and nice work on the hood. There is one of these trucks that has been fully restored that goes to a big truck show I go to every where the guy brings it in on his lowboy here are the picks.

That looks great! Nice tires and rims. Are they from Fechtner or AFV? Did you have any problems getting them.

Totally awesome! I'm a fan of these Oshkosh trucks too! Something built in my home state that I can feel good about! They are really amazing machines! You've got my full attention. You certainly are off to an excellent start. Watch Despicable Me, recently?

TC: Thank you Sir. Boy I'd love to have that guys truck. I never see any like that for sale, what do you think that would sell for?

Spudd, SW, skl1cent, russ, smallhaul : Thanks

Dreamweaver: I made a mold/pattern/jig heated the styrene with a torch and bam! Boy was I happy with that and now tickled I did something that puzzles the masters. hehehe

rcman, vanisle: the tires and rims are from AFV, I am going to need some custom hub adaptors for them though. No problems got them pretty quickly.

Nathan: the kids had been watching the movie when I was working on the cab, they liked that a lot!

I am by far an amateur with styrene. The only other thing I've done with it is my 535 cab. I use Bondene ("glue") a utility knife and a Zona saw.

It's about the same. Just added some axles and my custom cross members (no,no,no those aren't available for sale-hehehe lol) Waiting for a few (cross members) from my friend near the big water fall. This is a fun one for me to work on.








Thanks for looking.

Ben
