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...

The only photo that remains to show (off ) a grandson of what a grandfather had been thinking (expecting of) about his coming of age (being, rather)... The completed project was requested , as gift, by the owner of the Logo emblazoned the side of the card container the subject skeletal is carrying... affording no " in the flesh " appreciation.... Blame it to PC crash (never mind ImageShack UNDOING).... Hope you'd appreicate it... 
Best regards

These are links to photos that were on our old software and were not updated when we changed. They can only be restored with new photos which we can do if Farouk supplies us with either the photos or links. Sorry, but they are now 12 years old....
