Cars
and Trucks Models
Anthony
Hazelaar is from the Netherlands and has been building models for some
years.
He
is now building a series of Ford Model T pickup trucks and car models.
I
though that they looked quite nice and should have a place to display them.
The following is the first of
the series to be completed.
Some of the model kits that
Anthony uses are quite rare and are collectors items.
The 1922 Ford Model T Roadster
and 1925 Ford Model T 5-Window coupe are two examples.

This car was build from a older AMT
kit. It looks like a pretty
straight forward built kit, but I was a little annoyed by the fact that the tailgate of the box wasn't functional. To achieve real functionality I was forced to make two very small 1/24 scale hinges. The hinges are about 1/13 of an inch wide (that's about 2 mm) and about 1/25 of an inch thick (about 1 mm). I used a small red copper strip from an old electric relay to fabricate the outside of the hinges and used a 1/50 inch (0.5 mm) thin brass wire as the actual hinge. It was a bit fiddling around with all those small parts, but eventually everything worked. The fake plastic chains, to keep the lid in the lower position, were replaced by real copper chains (officially it's anchor chain for small model boats...). |

This model started it's life as a AMT kit
from
a 1925 Ford pickup. I shortened the sides of the bed and added the towing equipment from another model (a Lindberg towing truck kit). The towing equipment received some extra things like lamps and reinforcement struts. The Lindberg kit also donated a toolbox. A spare wheel was added on the right side. The 'Tires and Tubes' decals were spare decals from another kit. The towing equipment was not functional, but I made it fully functional with various parts. Which reminds me that I really should take a picture of the tow truck 'inaction'... |

|
| This 1926 Model T Sedan Delivery was built
from a customized kit by Revell. As Anthony only builds stock cars he had to 'uncustomize' it. The custom body was lowered so that had to be raised to normal stock height and he used spare parts from two other AMT kits to replace the custom chassis and wheels with a stock chassis and stock wheels. A stock front bumper and spare wheel were also added. |

This model was built by Anthony from a non-existing
kit.
It was build from the remaining parts from other AMT models with a lot of creative 'input' from him. |

|
| The 1924 Ford Model T Speedster started
it's life as a badly
build '23 Model T Delivery Van (old AMT kit). I took the kit apart, restored the chassis and engine but wasn't sure what to do with the rest of the car. After looking at a lot of Model T Ford pictures I decided to make my own Model T Speedster. The fenders and fire wall were donated by the '23 Delivery Van. The firewall was modified (the windshield was cut off) and downsized in height and width (speed...!). The seats are from an old AMT '25 Roadster kit and modified to look like old style bucket seats. The little tool box is from a '34 Ford Pickup. The spare tire is a leftover from another AMT '25 Roadster kit. The petrol tank used on the speedster models are always oval and with no spare tank at hand I had to make one from scrap. The tank and seat frame were made from 1 mm plastic. The oval shaped windshield, often seen on speedster models, was also made from scrap (actually, the clear plastic came from a CD case...). Finishing touches were the 'gold' striping on the fenders, tank, tool box and some other parts and the small 'copper' Ford name on the radiator (a spare decal from a customized kit). I'll never know if Henry Ford would have approved this model for the production line, but I like it.

| I bought this finished Pickup on eBay a few
weeks ago.
I had (conversion) plans for this kit, but when I received it, it had a beautiful patina of dust. As the seller said ' 'vintage dust included". I decided to keep the kit as it was, as a kind of barn find. The only thing I changed was adding a front license plate . I took some pictures with a proper 'layout' (the new owner is working on the car) and I think you'll agree with me that it would have been a pity to break up this kit for parts. |

| This car was built from a rare mid sixties
kit from AMT
which was actually exclusively produced for the Ford Motor Company. Interested Ford buyers received it as a kind of thank you for the interest they showed in the Ford cars. A rare, hard to find kit. |

I started with a badly build AMT 1923
Delivery Van kit.
The rear side panels from the van were removed and the fruitwagon parts (fruit stand floor, rear panel and panel behind the driver) were added using 1mm plastic. The fruit stand was constructed from wood. The scales are a ready bought item but altered to fit in the space under the fruit stand. A few weights were made from plastic spare material and needle pins. Very small stuff... The three 'canvas' curtains and the curved reinforcements you see on the rear vertical struts are spare parts from an other old AMT kit, the Depot Hack. And most of the fruit (the red, green, yellow, orange and red) are the glass heads of needles. The 'MacDonald's Fruit' signs were designed by me and printed on glossy paper using a high quality color laser printer. And the name MacDonald.. well, that's my to say thank you to John MacDonald who's kind enough to devote an entire page of his nice website to my car models. Anthony |

| Anthony has built a 1921-1925
Ford Model T chassis.
He wanted to show the chassis detail which is usually not shown on models. It started it's life as a very simple chassis from an older AMT kit. As usual he started with some research to find out how the actual T chassis looked. That proved not to be as easy as he thought. All though there are lot of pictures of the T models, there are surprisingly few pictures showing just the chassis. Not to mention things like information about the wiring diagram. But eventually he managed to find all the information he needed and here are the result. He added to the model: - the brake pull rod on both sides (very thin plastic rods) - the gasoline tank with fuel line, sediment bowl and mounting struts (scrap built from plastic and brass parts) - the spark plug wiring (made from a single wire from an electric cable) - the ignition wiring (a small electric cable with 4 wires, painted in the official green, blue, red and black colors) - a horn on the left side of the engine (of course also wired) As usual on this page, you can view a larger image by clicking on the picture. |

A 1923 Ford Model T Farm Truck.
I used the chassis, engine hood, radiator, floorpan and some other small parts (steering wheel and stuff like that) from a 1923 Delivery Wagon from AMT. The rest of the 'bodywork' (firewall, flatbed) was made from real wood. And of course the whole truck was given a special treatment so it looks like a car which had a busy life at the farm. |

| The 1923 Ford Model TT 1-Ton Flatbed Truck
This model was a 1923 Roadster from AMT. The running boards were shortened and supports were added. The rear fender assembly was removed. The front part of the body, the firewall and windscreen are from the roadster body. The rest of the bodywork (the C-Cab shape) was made of 1 mm styrene. To produce these parts I made thin cardboard molds of a 1923 Paddy Wagon parts. The flatbed structure was made of actual wood. |

A conversion from a 1927 Model T Touring AMT kit to a 1925 Model T Touring. I used the rear body part from the 27 Touring and the front body part with windscreen from a 25 Roadster. The seats were made from various roadster parts and modified for the 25 'look'. |

| A couple of weeks ago I received an almost
complete
AMT 1925 Model T Roadster 1/24 scale kit in exchange for some custom kit parts. And a couple of months ago I bought a Monogram 1/24 scale Mack Bulldog Tank Truck (it was badly build) to save the chassis and engine parts. As there never was a 1/24 scale kit of a Model T Tank Truck (at least not a stock version) I decided to give it a try and here is the result. I 'borrowed' the tank from the Mack Tank Truck. Actually it's only the top half which was cut in several pieces to get the right width and length.The rest was made of 1 mm plastic. The front part of the body, the firewall and windscreen are from the '25 Roadster kit. The rest of the bodywork (the C-Cab shape) was made of 1mm plastic using the cardboard molds of an AMT 1923 Paddy Wagon kit. |

The 1923 T Fruitwagon is the original
and very rare AMT kit. I've build another Fruitwagon, but this is the one
and only original one!
I was lucky to get my hands on this kit for a reasonable price because all the custom parts were missing. No problem for me, as I always built stock models. A complete kit is rare and can be very, very expensive. There is not much to add regarding building the kit. It was build straight forward out the box. The only difficult thing was painting the fruitstand. The fruit itself is not very realistic, just one piece of plastic, but I think I got it right. |

| The 1923 T Paddy Wagon is another
rare AMT kit. Very difficult to get one, but I finally got one in 2005.
As usual the kit was build as a stock model.
There was a decal sheet with Police decals, but after 37 years (the kit is from 1969) these were deteriorated and unusable. To replace them I had some Police signs photoetched and after a paint job they look very smart on the car. |

| The 1927 T Fire Truck is one of
the rare AMT kits I managed to buy in 2005. The kit is from 1969 and was
sold in those days for $ 1.38. And you really don't want to know what you
have to pay for a mint kit today... My kit was complete, but the box was
very bad. Actually, it was falling apart so I got the kit for a decent
price. As all my models this kit was build as a stock model. The kit included
decals for the Riverside Fire Department, but after 37 years the decals
had deteriorated due to age. I had another set custom made for me and allthough
they don't show very well on the pictures they
are very nice (and expensive...). |

The 1925 Ford Model TT Dump Truck:
A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to buy a AMT 1923 Ford
Model T kit on eBay for only $ 6.00. A rare kit because of the unusual

| The 1925 Model TT Hearse
To Build the build the Model TT Hearse Anthony used the following. - 1923 AMT T Delivery Truck (left-over parts from previous
projects, the fender/running board assembly
The wood interior you see on the pictures is African padauk veneer, a dark red wood. It was sanded and lacquered eight times. The last layer was sanded with very fine 1200 waterproof sandpaper to get a super smooth satin finish. After that the veneer was cut in the correct pieces, glued together and treated with a dark furniture wax. The floor is oak veneer and was treated the same way as the padauk. The hearse section was finished with some detail painting with black/gold paint. Some statistics:

As I'm living in the Netherlands I was looking for a special Dutch
Ford Model T for my 1/25 scale Ford Model T collection and found a nice
example in a book about the history of my town, a 1919 Ford Model TT with
a special bodywork made by Mr. Pluim, a well known local carpenter. The
car was used by a furniture shop ('Meubileering Zandbergen' = 'Furniture
Zandbergen').
BTW, Mr. Zandbergen told me that the car was used in the
I started with the main body construction but it's not an easy job,
Total building time was almost five months, including the small corrections

As there are no 1/25 scale model kits from old Ford
tractors, I decided to design and make my own Ford Model T tractor. I started
with a standard chassis from an AMT kit which was shortened at the rear.
Engine is stock T with an extra transmission and larger differential from
another kit.

This kit was also used as the donor kit for the wheels, tires, chassis and other parts. The rear fenders were cut off and replaced by the rear resin fenders from the Hendrix kit. The interior parts and front seat are again from the Touring. The body was a bit too low for a correct fit to the stock AMT assembly, so I had to raise it by adding about 1.5 mm to the underside. The wire wheels were a bit modified. I didn't like the thick spokes, so I decided to trim them and removed as much material as possible. It does look very nice, the spokes are less than 1mm thick now, but the wheels are now very fragile due to the lack of material. In the picture you can see the difference between the modified (upper part) and unmodified (lower part) spokes. The windscreen from the AMT kit was a little bit too wide for the roadster body, so I removed a small section in the middle. The folded hood is from a ’25 AMT kit. It was also a bit too wide and about 2mm were removed in the middle. The body and wheels were painted in Tamiya bright red. |

| This time a 1926 Ford Model T Tudor Sedan, converted
to stock using a Revell 1926 Model T Sedan Delivery and an AMT 1927 Model
T Touring. Some time ago I 'un-customized' the Revell 1926 Ford T Sedan
Delivery. And a member of the Model T Club of America suggested using the
Sedan Delivery as base for the 1926 Tudor.
I had a kit from the 1927 Touring, so I decided to use that kit for the chassis, engine, engine hood and fender assembly. The body of the Revell was lowered so I added a 1.5mm strip to the underside to bring it back to normal height. The rear of the body had wheel arches to fit the custom tires and were filled with plastic. Basically the same work what I had done before on the Sedan Delivery. I had to use the custom dashboard because of the width and shape, but removed all the gauges and other stuff. They were replaced with the original gauges of the stock version. These were cut out of a stock dashboard and thinned by filing that much from the back until they were thin enough. And in the process I thinned the skin of my fingers too... I also added the support for the steering wheel underneath the dashboard. After that I had to find out how to deal with the inside of the body. Obviously I couldn't use the custom panel work, but I would like to have some kind of original panel work. First I tried to make some of 1mm styrene, but that was too thick for the curved ends at the rear. The 0.5mm was much better, so that problem was solved. But after cutting out the windows... well, I had to be very careful handling the pieces as there was not much material left at the top of the panels as you can see. Next problem was the front window. I couldn't use the nice custom window (with two wipers instead of one), so I had to figure out a way to get a new frame. After tinkering around with some styrene I made the front part of the windshield from 0.25mm styrene and the rear part from 0.5mm styrene so I could 'sandwich' the clear window between them. Again, after the frame was cut I had to be extremely careful handling the 0.25mm thick (thin...) frame. Oh well, it turned out nice. I glued in place, but I left it a little bit ajar. Yeah I know, showing off... The rear bench is from the '27 Touring kit and the front seats are from an early A Ford Woodie. After I found a good, large picture of the spare wheel I could finally figure out how it was mounted on the chassis and build it from scrap. The last thing I added was a rear view mirror, mounted on the top hinge of the drivers door with help of a tiny strip of red copper (about 4mm long and 1mm wide... boy, I lost that thing about three times... lol) and the shortened rear view mirror of the Revell kit. The last thing I changed were the front and rear bumper mounting brackets. They were a bit too long, so shortened them by about 2mm. All in all a lot of work, but I think the result looks pretty stock now. Again please click on any of the images for a larger view in a new window. |
