"How did you make all of that? It looks really cool."
Well short answer, a lot of time and patience. And a self-taught crash course in PhotoShop... Also in case I haven't already said, thank you for your service! And thanks for the compliment. Most of my models are constructed from either foam core, printed material on label paper or card stock. And a good deal of craft wood basswood, balsa wood and a few chop sticks here and there. The table surface is all hand painted with acrylic craft paints. Here a couple links for the pit boxes (war wagons):

Dimensions for the pits:

Basically print them out full page on 8.5" x 11" card stock. Cut them out, fold 'em and glue 'em together. I found Elmer's wood glue worked the best with a tiny paintbrush. And and old cassette case was a good folding brake for doing the edges on the top platform section.
If you have any other questions or if I can be of any help feel free to message me. I'd be happy to help with your project in the future.Last edited by GotFrank; 04-03-2016, 10:01 PM.

I'm going to have to bookmark this page for when I get back. I'm going to have so much fun with this. Hopefully my son will enjoy it when he gets older with me.

Yes, they are smaller than the real ones. They all feature a bad copy of Mack as the cab (saw tooth grin). And the stickers on the trailers are completely different. They are by far the worst knockoffs I've seen. Except for maybe this:
