Weld-It
A lot of fuel tank and trailers sport a white cab and Weld-it is a good example... Likely to be a favorite with customizers... The 1:53 scale Precision Series tank and trailer uses a die-cast (zinc) cab and an aluminum tank. The core advantage of aluminum being it is a high polish aluminum making the unit more authentic then chroming over (or electroplating) a zinc or plastic tank.

Glass racks
Here is a good example of a collector adding to his model by creating glass stacks to put onto a Precision Series stepdeck with glass rack. The "glass" here is simple cut acrylic...
Another example
Adding detail to your models
This collector added to his tarp load using yarn purchased at walmart to simulate tie downs.

Tonkin Replicas wins award! (Toy Pistols?)
Good news! Tonkin Replicas has won an exclusive carefully researched award for exceptional marketing in the "Toy Pistols" category! Hmm... Now if only Tonkin Replicas made pistols this would be sweet.
Seems like the good news keeps rolling into the Tonkin Replicas e-mail folder. If anyone needs a 20% off coupon for Canadian pharmacy drugs let us know! We have a stack!
Extra points here, however, as at least these guys were creative and spelled the company name right...
