PROJECT PANDEMIC-STANDARD B "LIBERTY" TRUCK "PROJECT COMPLETE"

[MrT]

Trying to make the best of the world wide pandemic I thought maybe we need some good ole fashion supply transport to get hard to find supplies(TP) to the front. So in that spirit while I am confined to home I will be working the Standard B "Liberty" Truck by ICM.

Feel free to join in with your pandemic projects and we will get through this together.

I kinda wish I was confined to home office. I have to keep coming to the plant for hair on fire events.

Looking forward to this.

I have compiled some research images. I was surprised how much there is on this truck. Some images are of the series 2 with iron wheels.

I have more images of restored trucks.

I have been thinking about how to make a better cover.....more real looking. Some sort of cloth maybe.

I have been experimenting with used eye glasses cleaning wipes to be used as canvas. I smoothed them out while still damp, then ironed the remaining creases out. Sorry, no pictures yet, but the wipe has a canvas sort of texture and would have been thrown away anyhoo. I figure some diluted PVA glue would give it some body to hold a shape.
