Starbucks Truck

Norm, you do phenomenal work.  I have 3 of those 2003 Starbuck Mack trucks, but I'm afraid they are at the farther end of a long list of projects to be done resting in their original packaging.

Thanks for the photo and posting.

Very cool Norm. Email me a few phoyos of the new layout if you have some.

Very nice.

Will a clown be driving it?

I like it!

Norm,

Very nicely done, looks real.

Thanks you guys!

very nice norm, although I would find it hard to believe that $5.00 latte would sell back in 30-40's

Eh, skip the lattes, go right for the double espresso, or an Americano if you want to get fancy. 

Norm,

   Very nicely done, hay but the world runs on Duncan buddy!

Norm,

The more I look at your work the more I realize that most of my vehicles and trains really need to be weathered to look realistic. Honestly, you are an inspiration!

keep posting pics!

Norm, love the truck.  do mine please...

Norm, have you re-purposed the wreaths decorating the sides, yet?  What about the "tree"?

Very creative and excellent weathering technique. It does make a big difference in realistic appearance and you've got the brush (and or air brush)  strokes working perfectly on your original layout creation.

Layout artwork  is what I really appreciate, because it makes a model railroad look like a real railroad. From what I can see there is only a small elite group that does it this way but most should appreciate the talent and time that goes into it.  

Norm,  great truck !!!   Did you fully repaint the cab or do you have an ingenious method of getting the logo off ?

Nice job on the truck!

Found one on ebay in 2011 for 10 bucks. I converted mine into Steve’s Stone & Brick Co.

If I need it for other applications, I just add a tarp over the permanent brick load.

The Christmas tree was moved to a Hallmark pick-up truck.

I really love the details the Mack B has along with the price!

Thanks guys! Carl, I couldn't save the festoons or whatever on the side of the bed, they were CA'ed on and disintegrated when I gouged them off. The Christmas tree wad is laying around somewhere. I think it is a solid resin casting. Do you want it? I'll look around for it if so. Norman, I took the pagan logos off with a rag dampened with lacquer thinner. I disassembled the whole thing and painted the frame and interior with engine black using an airbrush. I kept the original cab color and weathered it with a slight mist of grimy black followed by a wash of india ink and denatured alcohol.

SIRT, I kept looking around for this truck but couldn't find one for less than $25. I think I had one of these years ago but gave it away..

Norm, thanks for the reply.  Pity about the wreaths/festoons on the sides--could have been decorating something else.  Thanks for the offer on the "tree," but, I wouldn't be able to use it any time soon.

Great job on the truck.
