Harry P. Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 ... I am afraid you have to bear my German English for the future. Believe me, your "German English" is better than some members' American English! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie8575 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Scratchbuilt? That is simply amazing. You, sir, have some talent! What Harry said. Absolutely remarkable, especially considering the rather limited information you're working with. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartattaq Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 That nose gives the cab an almost animalistic look to me. I fan hardly believe it is a scratch build. Beautiful job mate be proud of your talents, I hope you have a kid or nieces and nephews to pass this talent along to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plastheniker Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 Thanks for all further comments. As said in the topic my L 10000 shows the 1937 model. 1938 Mercedes introduced a modernized cab that anticipated the early post-war styling of all Mercedes cabs. In my opinion this modernized cab is far less attractive. Maybe you agree. I found this 1938 picture (photo by courtesy of Daimler-Benz AG/ Daimler AG) in my old files: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truckabilly Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I can´t belive I missed this somehow. My main focus is on American truck models and this was off my attention at first. Untill now. I didn´t realise it was a scratch build. That changed the way I look at the model. It´s really top class job and it sure deserves lots of respect. It takes a great craftsmanship to achieve a look like this with all the parts being home made. And if there´s no surviver in the real world, that makes it even more unique. You did fantastic job in three fields... the research, the model building and picture taking. I have nothing but very very deep respect for you. And I am sorry for overlooking your great build.

I bet they'd love to display that . It's deffinently worthy of a museum. I doubt that they would be interested.
