Northern Diecast Custom builder of 1/64 scale semi trucks and trailers. Having grown up on the farm I've always had a fascination and love for trucks.

Being away from the farm in my older years, has allowed me to spend my free time building scale replicas for others to enjoy. I am some what of a perfectionist when it comes to building models for others. Be confident that I will match your replica as close as possible within my abilities. I know a lot of quality builders in the hobby and if I can't do or have the ability to, I will find someone who can. For me this isn't about working at home or making extra money, though it is nice. It's more about the smile on a kid's face when he gets a replica of his dad's truck, or a retired trucker reliving old memories with a 1/64 scale model of a truck long gone. I only work on these on weekends or other free time. This is just a hobby for me. If you're on a time crunch, I may not be the right guy for you. If you're not in a hurry and have the patience for a quality scale replica, then I'm definitely your guy. Thanks for visiting my page and enjoy the pictures!

Signed, sealed, and delivered. This was a fun one. Once in a while we get lucky with the way the paint lays. It's always a pleasure to build a Michigan icon, even if it's not one I've ever seen in the wild...
