Wayne,
I've got a brother-in-law that has spent much time and money on model
making, I'm sure he could produce a model of correct size and
descriptions....he's one of these guys who puts together a model garage with
several cars or trucks - in some form of disassembly, and varying
conditions - including rust holes/dents/etc, including sparkplug wires and
much other detail... well you get the idea, and they look very
realistic...actually some of them look a lot like the ole-trucks we find to
restore. I will pass on this info and see if he is interested....
Thanks,
Sheldon Schmidt

Subject: [oletrucks] Floating truck
The adventure with the Cuban amphibious AD has generated a lot of interest
in the world--or so it appears. I have received correspondence from a
producer at Pixworks LTD (the movie makers) and they're wanting to possible
do a movie about it. Their first process is to get a decent size replica of
an AD truck to make look like the actual one so they can promote the
possibility of a movie to financial backers. Wanting a model somewhere in
the 12-15 inch range in length-plastic not a diecast model, damn they get
picky huh...
Anyone have any idea where models exist of this size??
I also got contacted by a Miami Herald reporter doing a story on the same
thing, he asked a few questions and I answered 'em via email, may or may
not make it to print but hey....... --wayne
