Well, How 'bout them apples!
Sorry, just had to say it.
Beautiful work Bill. The best examples I've ever seen. -

Thanks, Louis!! Tomorrow I'll use that .PDF to replace the SBS I cobbled together today.
Ok Bill, glad I had kept the information. I've got the original pictures as well if you need them, I'll email them to you if you want. Just say the word.

Besides the apples themselves, the apple boxes also add a lot to this model. Here's a closer photo of the back of the truck. You can see there are two different styles of boxes there, two older boxes on the left and a new one on the right. They are based on the two prototype box styles posted here earlier.
(Sorry for the blurry snapshot)

B_A_R, Thanks for taking a look. The driver's shirt was first painted with an off white, matte (not quite flat) acrylic paint. The brown lines were drawn with a Sakura Pigma Micron archival ink marker. The nib size was 0.005. These markers are available in a limited range of colors ( black, brown, red, green, blue) at A.C. Moore, Michael's and art supply stores. The black markers are good for drawing window gaskets around locomotive windows if the base finish has a little tooth to it. These markers will not fade like a Sharpie.
It took several tries to get enough lines to look acceptable, so the matte base color is important. A glossy base paint causes the marker to bead up. A flat base gets stained by the marker ink and needs to get repainted each time there is a goof.

Bill- How did you get the driver's striped shirt to look so realistic?

Thanks Philip! You're right, I forgot, the rear suspension was lowered a little with a file when the body was off the chassis. Same with the Vacation Woody in the other post. It does give a feeling of weight.
