[A friendly Hello from Germany]

Welcome Michael!

I'd be interested to see more photos of the '57 T-bird.

It's a nice color & the paint job looks great, but the angle doesn't show enough of the car.

Of course, no problem.

[A friendly Hello from Germany]

The Western Star looks great with these chrome sleeper.

Not at the moment, sorry. But i will start a new build this weekend. A 1955 Kenworth Bullnose from Illini Replica.

If interest exists i will report the progress here.

[A friendly Hello from Germany]

Wilkommen, Michael!  This is a great place to be!  Outstanding job on your builds!!

Thank you all. I must look around a while, it seems there are many outstanding modelers here.

Michael your Mack is very nice . The tanks look very realistic what did you do to them ?

Thank you very much. I used the magic powder from Uschi van der Rosten. Is ist allowed to set the link here?

On next kit i will remove the chrome from all parts and use the powder to get a uniformly look to all chrome parts.

And for a time beeing the last one, a Mack Cruiseliner from Matchbox/AMT. The wheels are a combination of the rims from Dave Natale and the tires from Italeri.

The window part of the kit was unusable, so i make a new one of a blister package from a headphone. Backlights and indicator lights are from CTM (czechtruckmodel). Mirror support is made with 0,6mm silver wire, antennas with 0,4mm steel wire.

The next one on the workbench will be a Kenworth Bullnose from Illini Replica (many thanks to Bob, who has made possible to receive kits from him).

Greetings, Michael

The next one was the Kenworth Alaskan Hauler from Matchbox/AMT. I used wheels from a.i.t.m. and the mirror support is scratchbuilt.

Backlights and indicator lights are from CTM (czechtruckmodel).

Thanks for looking.

[A friendly Hello from Germany]

Hello guys,

i'm new here and want to introduce myself. My name is Michael Andrasi and i come from Stuttgart in Germany. I'm 52 years old (only for the next three weeks) and i build many models when i was young. My favorite models are Trucks in 1/25th scale. I stopped building models in mid-eighties and return to that hobby in 2013.

The first model i build up was Krupp Titan from Revell of Germany.

Not really good, but after 25 years of non-building.

Then i build up some cars in 1/16th scale and some military trucks in 1/35th scale.

And then the first US Trucks, a Revell Kenworth W-900 and a Peterbilt 359, both from Revell of Germany.

Meanwhile i've build up three more trucks which i will show you in the gallery.

Please apologize my bad english and the fact, that maybe not all technical details are correct. That's not so important for me, i love the overall impression of a good looking truck.

Thank you very much.
