Trucks In Miniature

One of the most popular and talked-about models at this year's N.N.L. was Vince Nemanic's "Torch Wagon." The more you look, the more detail is visible in this expertly crafted rendition of a wrecking yard workhorse. The attention to detail and weathered patina is perfect.

Small scale is really catching on, and these guys are doing things in 1:64 that some can't do in 1:8. John Ferranato brought an outstanding collection of his work. Here's a highly modified VW bus with eye-searing paint.

Looking like past Shades of the "Deora"-Steve Hinson (known for his excellent customs) is the builder of this wild custom truck. Look closely and you'll discover it's actually a '75 AMC Matador turned back-to-front. Obviously the rear window now serves as the windshield.
