This 1/25 scale septic and grease trap pumper truck from modeler Hugo Garcia is mostly scratchbuilt! He covered the vehicle in gray primer, white paint from a spray can, weathered with chalk and blends of rust shades, and placed it on a base from ash wood with Celluclay and pebble groundwork.

Modelers gathered in Plano, Texas this March for the 33rd annual Showdown scale auto show organized by the Metroplex Car Modelers Association. The tables featured cars in 21 categories and awards, including Best Paint, Best Interior, Best Engine Compartment, Best Chassis Detail, and Floyd Bryant Best of Show.
