gatorincebu Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Greetings Everyone, Here are a couple of pics of some models I build in the late 90's. The photos are not the best. But you can get the idea! Be Well Gator The first one is an International in service to Gator Construction and or Trucking. The second is snap KW with the Bechtel logo .I worked for Bechtel at Turkey Point in Miami. The logo is a vinyl hard hat sticker. And a lowboy with a loader bucket on it. The load was part of a toy.

gatorincebu Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Thanks guys, Thanks Guys. Jim , I worked out at Turkey Point twice over the years. Once in the late 70's on a dirt project. And in 83' on the outage on the #3 reactor. JT, both of these were posted in a couple of other Forums. I have some other pics on floppy disks. I hope to get them switched over to cd rom after the move. Be Well Gator Edited April 18, 2015 by gatorincebu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatorincebu Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Really cool builds. Thanks Will, I had a good time building trucks. When I built thesse I was working on the midnight shift . I actually went on a building spree and did several models over the space of two months. As I would stay up on my nights off and work on models all night long. I am working on getting things ready to set up my new work bench area. I may get into some all night sessions again. As my GF maybe working online at night as well. Right now it is summer time here and it does get hot during the day. But it cools off nicely at night. Be Well Gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
