The Model Mechanic run by fellow collector and custom builder Steve Nasburg provides on his just released website modelmechanic 3D printed kits from Truck & Earthmoving Equipment replicas, Work Tools and various parts in 1:64th, 1:87th and 1:50th scale for the discerning (Caterpillar) collector or custom builder.
Steve lives on the edge of the Pacific in Southern Oregon, USA, which primed his pump for the Log trucks and other older rigs you don’t normally see in diecast scale models.
Steve is active in the toy truck business for 30 years, building models for 56 years. He approaches his products with the idea of getting as accurate as he can, and also from a builders viewpoint, to make painting easier, etc. He also writes for "Toy Trucker and Contractor" magazine as a columnist for the 87th and 64th market. Highly recommended!

Joop van der Touw has created unique “Artistic Impressions” of trucks from the past or that are still driving around today with his unparalleled technical craftsmanship and drawing skills over many years. But unfortunately Joop van der Touw passed away a few years ago.
Before the death of Joop van der Touw, Theo Gijsbers was allowed to take over all his drawings and copyrights, which is why his legacy can still be viewed and even available to enthusiasts via www.TruckScaledrawings.com. The trucks are drawn to perfection in different scales and can be printed in various sizes and send to you for a modest fee. Highly recommended!
