Butler Brothers #32
 
The following model is scratchbuilt using parts from two ERTL Pay Haulers combined with a lot of scratch building into a representative of Butler Brothers second truck #36. Like I said it is a rep of the original as all I had was a few scetchy photos off the net to work with in building it, so I do not know how close to original I have gotten it. But here it is the second of my collection of Butler Brothers Hallmark of trucks.

The following is a picture I had to work with of the original rig.

I hope I did the 1:1 justice in my building.

Instead of number 32, this is number 36. That was a mistake in my typing.

I'm a big fan of scratch building myself. Either you can do it or you can't.
No in between. I can't comment on the 1:1 part but you are a true artist in your craft.
A very "clean" build takes much time. Having very little reference material shows how sharp your vision is of what you are building.
You are a true craftsman and have raised the bar very high. Fantastic build!
