Scratch HO Skeletal Container Chasis
#1
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..

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...
