Hi, all.. . this is a first time post .. Trucklover's thread " Old Dominion Freight Lines Models " is the inspiration and encouragement (also some from DoctorWayne-thanks!) of this post... Below are images (some with notations) of scratch-built skeletal container chassis made out in the color/marking of the International Container Terminal & Services, Inc (ICTSI) based in the Philippines.. the chassis is a What-If and generic for the real intermodal company..
(mage containing briefs on how and with what the project was constructed)
(additional images of nearly completed skeletal)

the double crew cab is one of the six that came as gift from the owner of Gulf-Atlantic-Pacific HO Railroad in Arcadia Florida (USA)... while the 40-foot container is made (it's a poor man's project) of cardstock... the tires are 87th scale resin casts made by a fellow modeler member of IPMS-Philippines Bert Anido chapter . .
And, finally the decal sheet.. earlier was described as Ink-Jet printed was actually done with ALPS MD5500 Printer due to the presence of the white image on the decals....
Said project is a first time build and, admittedly, is not error free... hopefully the next subject in line would become the master for a resin cast aiming at creating several copies for our (my and my grand-children's) modular Intermodal module layout...
Thank you for reading...
