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.

Thanks Gino.

Thanks for that comment. I did not think I would be able to replicate steel using cardboard when I first thought of the idea but I was stubborn about it. Glad I gave it a try.

Thanks again for the support. Much appreciated.

Jim. The floor can wait.☺

yeah man. Not difficult to do at all. I've been asked by many to do a little article on how i achieved it. I will let u know when I complete it. I have not started on it yet.

I thought the first pic was of the real truck. Nice man.

Thanks gents.

I finally got the tires into the container. 163 tires to be exact. Thanks to all my fellow modellers from around the world who donated most of the tires. I also added the twist locks to the underside at all four corners of the container to hold them in place. I made some few changes of the placement of the wheels and did some minor painting and slight weathering. I lso moved the tractor slightely forward away from the trailer to show more of the fifth wheel. So I hope you all approve of the final look as I am calling this done. ----------------------------
