Thanks.

Thanks Ray.

Thanks.

Thanks for looking in guys.

Ok fellows. Here is the tractor I built just for this trailer unit. The blue Scania 142H tractor unit has now been replaced with this Scania 144L 530 unit. I think it suits the trailer better, especially with the similarities of the color schemes. Hope you guys liked this better.

Thanks. Here is the pic that inspired me to build my version:

OK fellows. This is my latest acquisition. I had intended this little dio to be a IOF dio but decided to go for the 'different' approach, as always. Yep. For those who know me, it will not come to a surprise. As my middle name is exactly that. Anyways,this scene represents a Libyan resistance fighter firing Gaddafi's last loyal militant forces, some down the streets of Tripoli. Anything Goes, is the name of this diorama. I got the idea of a pic someone had posted a long time ago. When I saw it I knew I wanted to model it some way and somehow, my way.It just shows that anything is possible, although not very practical; it just shows that anything can be used to their advantage at any time when the need calls for it. The longest and most strenuous part of this diorama was putting this figure together. First, I like the thank Bassam I. Mansour, for his suggest about using different body parts from different kits. One kit he suggested was, "Charlie on the left" from Master Box, Vietnam figure kit as a start. So thatäs what I did. The other kit I used was a body part(torso) taken from the Meng Hi lux kit, which included a one figure, if I remember right.I am no figure builder pro nor am I a figure painter pro. So this was a project with lots of miss and hits. But I keep telling myself, that I will improve. Just needs more and lots more practice. But so far, I am happy with the results. I also noticed some areas on the figure that needs some touch-ups of paint and also some toning down. So, yes, I do notice it and it will be rectified. So I hope you like the completed dio, aside from the figure not being up to standard. ----------------------------------------------

Thanks Stephen.

Thank you.

I think that's the key word. Control. That is one major point Ken.

Complete with a better base and a figure:

Thanks Tony. Thanks for looking.

Thanks for all the replies fellows. Nice to hear everyones views.

I will eventually go over to an air brush but until I get a dedicated hobby space, I will continue to use the cans.

Thanks guys. Crotch rocket! HAHAHA!!!

Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will give it a thought.

Thank you for your comment. I am amazed at this thread and all the positive comments it has received. It goes to show that my so called hard work paid off. ☺ Hoping to be wrapping this build up quickly so I can get on with another project that I am planning. I also see that Italeri is finally releasing a 6x4 R-series Scania truck. I can't understand why it took so long. Then a transit ford van, as well as some other goodies. I am gonna be broke by the end of this year.

Much appreciated. I am in the process of building the second tractor for this trailer. A Scania 144l 530hp model. I think it will go together better than the 142H tractor. I will use the 142H for another trailer which i will build for it.

Thanks for looking fellas. Appreciate the visit.

Thanks Rob. Yeah. He seems to be the most liked on this truck amongst many others. I kinda like using him. It just makes the overall look, somewhat nostalgic. Btw, I am adding a netting to cover the tyres to give added detail or interest.

Thanks.

Thanks for the positive feedback.

Thanks. That is enough for me.☺

Thank you again Gino.
