  1. hahaha! Thanks man. Glad you approve. Makes all the hard work worrh it. Although, I might have another tractor for the trailer. But we'll see after I'm done building it.
  2. I have been working on the trailer for the Scania 142H long based chassi for some time now. So far this is where I am. I have finally added the side wind deflectors, which I painted black. I also toned down some of the weathering on the passenger side. Still have a little toning down near the windshield as well. The trailer was scratch built and it is 90% complete. I have to add more details and a bit more subtle weathering around the trailer. I tried to make it look somewhat out dated by design but yet have a kinda modern feel to the rest of the overall look. I decided on the mix color combo; has the trailer, had been painted unprofessionally several times during its hard course life. Secondly, I wanted it to be different and stand out. I am making the precast concrete slabs that will eventually be placed on the trailer when done..I am experimenting with various materials. The ones you see in the pics are made from posterboards. We will see what I end up using. The trailer has rest mounts for four precast slabs, which in turn can double up on each mount depending on thickness of the precast slab. So I hope you like the trailer and the overall look of this tractor/trailer combo so far. ---------------------------- -------------------------------
  3. The final look of this hover bike. Added the back motor deflectors. As you can see it fills up the some-what flatness of the area on both sides of the jet nozzle.
  4. Thsnks a million kilrathy10. Much appreciated by the uplifting comment.
  5. it is actually the flatbed platform wheel base version i used. But i know the one you are referring to. It is the older kit. Although Italeri is notories for using the same kits over and over again. ☺
  6. Thanks David. Much appreciated.
  7. Thanks. That was taken from another kit. I had it in my box of misc. Stuff.
  8. Thanks for the support fellas.
  9. This is 50% done. I still need some weathering done to it and need to build the trailer. So you can call this work in progress. The tractor is 95% done. Still experimenting with different weathering techniques and some more detailing, like wind deflectors for the front etc.. I'm kinda jumping between projects. so the trailer is still in the planning stages. So here are the pics of the tractor so far:
