Little model of a truck...?

Question

Is there any place on the web where I can order a custom model of a truck just by sending pictures? My boyfriend had a truck for a very long time and did a lot of stuff to it. There's no other truck that looks like it around and he just sold it. I would love to give him a model as a gift. I need some help though!! :)

Answer 1

I know of no such specific site. Though if you were to buy a copy of a model-making magazine such as "Fine-Scale Modeller", there are ALWAYS ads for builders who will do that.

I warn you though, that we typically would charge $250 minimum. We have to hunt down a model of the basic vehicle, THEN make or order all the modified parts.

I've done this as a gift for my brothers (our old family VW bus), and as a business (personalized US Naval Aircraft).

GOOD LUCK though... sounds like a very sweet gift.

Answer 2

You asked this question twice. There seems to be a custom truck service for PR and advertising work. I've put ther URL here:

One additional question though. How small does the model have to be? Or doesn't that matter?

Answer 3

all of them rust whilst they have been pushed around the country for 20 yrs. Secondly, the place has this truck been pushed in the final 20 yrs. I had a 1989 Silverado for 10 years that did no longer have any rust on it to 1999 as quickly as I traded it off. i think of yours have been given into the salted-snowy roads for 20+ wintry climate seasons to get somewhat undesirable rust.
