Looks like the crew has lunch on in a pot over a burner with wind shield at the base of the pole. Neat scene -- probably need John Denver playing in the back ground too.

I'm preparing to build this lineman's truck for my Jefferson scene:

 

I'm going to kit bash it from a Wiseman Model Services (ex-SS Ltd) Kleiber stake-bed truck, which will supply the chassis and cab.  I'll just be scratch-building the cargo area.

However, having never built one of these white-metal kits before, I thought I'd start with a derelict dump truck for my Kokomo scene (as any mistakes can easily be chalked up to damage).

The SS Ltd kits are a bit fiddly -- think a Jordan Highway Miniature kit squared (there are 28 pieces in the chassis sub-assembly shown below).  However, it went together easily enough in the end.  I've gotten it about as far as I can before it starts to make painting harder, so the sub-assemblies are off for a bath and a primer coat:



Cheers,
Jeff.
