I did a cursory Google search on Antique Packard Trucks and there seems to be a lot of good sources and photos out there.
That same search gave me a lot of local restoration shops nearby. One from your area might have a leads on Packard truck collectors or meets.
Cool.


I'll see what I can find.


The instructions for this kit keep referencing a "figure K" which is totally missing. So I've been having to reference whatever photos I can find to determine where the parts ought to go on the blessed thing.

All done gluing on parts and primer is done. I now need to paint it and weather it.

And here is all the detail that no one will ever see again....

Did you assemble dirst and then prime ? Looks great even just with the primer.

Built chassis, cab and cargo box separately. Then primed.


Will glue all subassemblies  together once fully painted and weathered.


Thanks.

Thanks for all the feedback.


In between stages on the Jordan I've been building this Paper Creek Models N Scale station.


I have very limited workbench space and I can't have too much liquid stuff near my work laptop, thus the paper model.

I can't say I've ever seen one of the paper kits being put together , very interesting.

They are fun.


I built an O Scale one here:

The O Scale one is easier to demonstrate how they go together. Plus, this N Scale one I'm building I'm not taking photos as I go along to speed up the build.


If you ever have a chance to build one you should take it.

I was wasting time on the Facebook and a fellow by the name of Paul Egri posted a design he made fro a cardstock model of a handcar shed. So I built it last night. It was fun and the price was right.


Here you see it below. The handcar is a kit from Grandt Line I built years ago.


Later.

Great job on the truck Jaime. I just finished building the same one last night but mine came with the FSM Chippy Hollow I'm building. I have the FIG K diagram if you still need it.
