I finished my scratch built 150. It's supposed to represent a '93 model. It's made of posterboard. The 5th is removable and the reese hitch is removable too. Tailgate opens also. Comments and questions welcome. There are some mistakes but I thought I did good for my first scratch built truck. Pics aren't the best, I guess I didn't stand far enough away.

No, it doesn't have an opening hood. I felt I would never have it open on the display, but I could make one easily. I didn't make the doors open either. I can if I want, all I have to do is take an xacto knife around the doors. Thanks for the comments.

Don't worry about it dallas

It wasn't too hard. It's a lot easier if you have an Ertl model to go off of. I made mine so I just folded it so the majority was done. Maybe I'll make a template sometime so all you have to do is print a picture of it and trace around it.

I started my F250. I got it drawn out. I just need to redraw the front and then it's ready to cut out.

Thanks. I got the idea from cthomascustoms. You'd be surprised how easy it is to make one and how common the thing to make it with is.

And BTW, I started my F250 today. I got the body all cut out. I just need to cut out the windows, make the hood and work on the bed and I can paint it. I hope to paint by Sunday or tomorrow night. I'm going to try to get the bed done tonight.
