Small Scale Operators

Seth is very creative and you wouldn't believe the stuff he can come up with using small pieces of metal tubing among other supplies. All of the trucks pictured above had none of the fancy tires, stacks and decals when he bought them that they have now. There are very few other people who do the kind of customizing he does, so these trucks are worth big bucks! He takes them around to several farm toy shows in Michigan throughout the year and usually comes home with orders.
These trucks come in very few colors, so Seth did a lot of research and finally found a way to paint them with out getting the paint on too thick, distorting the shape of the truck or getting runs. Again, very very few people know how to do the kind of painting he does, so that makes his trucks even more desire
He also makes 64th scale barns using balsa wood, exact to scale. He takes measurements from real barns and using that smart  brain of his, does the math to make the barn an exact replica.
We joke that he still plays with matchbox toys! Which he does, just not in the same way he used to.
