Thanks Jim.

It has been a while since I posted something. Been busy with other aspects of life - like my daughter turned 1 year old last week. :cool: Work and the holidays. I guess you guys know what I'm talking about. Scania Flatbed. Still got some paint touch ups and some details to add: ---------------------------------------- Heavy Haulage Tractor Unit: I have been slowly working on another heavy haulage transport vehicle. This is the tractor unit that will pull the trailer (which is going to be scratch built, more or less). It is not 100% completed yet. Still got some minor paint touch ups, weathering and detailing to get it to the point where I will be satisfied. Anyways, enjoy the pics of what I got so far. My inspirations comes from various tractor units I have passed by while in the car and from looking at pics I got from off the net. The weathering is as usual, a well used unit with many years of experience on the road. The tractor unit is mostly heavily modified from two kits and some minor scratch building.

Another build to be added to my roster: Been working on this for some time now and still got a little brushing up and small details to add before I am satisfied. The inspiration for this little vignette comes from a photo I had seen on the net. I think it was taken in Afghanistan. So far this is my interpretation of such a scene of an IED Humvee attack; The name of the dio would be announced after I decide on the figures: Here is the pic from which I got my inspiration:

Thanks guys. Thanks for the looking and glad you like my rendition.

Thanks.

I made this diorama for my 'Crash' Renault Magnum tracktor unit, before putting it up for sale. This is the result, Unfortunately the forum does not allow me to post more than 5 pics at a time. So I'll have to wait until some post before I can post another 5 pics:

Thanks Brian and Sam.

Thanks Virgil.

Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the kind compliments David. Apprecite you took the time to view this thread.

Thanks David. The boom is from Italeri accessories kit.

You have an enormous patience my friend and gift for the incredible. I just love you work. A true inspiration.

This is another older build I found in my archives: This gun Truck was lucky, in the sense that no one got hurt. The explosive did not do a colossal amount of damaged; but it was enough to blow off the left front tire clean off it's axle as well as exploded into the engine compartment severing, some major mechanical parts. The Extra armor under the driver compartment took some of the impact, as you can see by the indentation of the armor. The force jolted the truck causing storage to fall off sporadically onto the near by dirt. I am still working on this so it is still n unfinished work. Need to destroy the left headlight and make small damage areas on the truck around the damaged area. Need to rearrange some of the stuff on the truck to look the part. So this is just an overall view of what it will look like.

Thank you Kostas for the support. Much appreciated my friend.

Thanks guys. Wash?!!! Nejjjj. It looks just fine.

Thanks for looking guys. Appreciate the comments.

This is an old man F90 Commander Kit from Italeri which I bought on eBay for about 1.5 years ago. Some parts were missing, especially the instructions but got help Nick(thanks Nick), who kindly scanned another version of the F90, which had more or less similar building design. I decided to deviate from the kit's original finish kit, as usual, and do something different. This building, I called the "Wrecker". This is a private owner's modification that resulted in what you see now. I still have little left to add such as, adding horns, the owner's sign and a little more 'weathering'. Hope you like the results. ___________________________________

This is really beautiful.

Thanks fellows. They were all great to build but most have been sold or recycled.

Thanks Michael. These old models were really great to build.

That's gotta be one very rare kit... Wow!!!!!!!

Thanks guys. This particular build is adapted to suit my liking and is not particular to any replicate that is out there today. Although the characteristics are the same. I know about not seeing a Topline version in the Dutch or Danish arsenal. I have been looking for one on the net but have not come across any. So, although this particular version of my build does not represent any real version out there today(that I know of) it is purely speculative that they ever used a Topline version. ...and you're right, there should be a coke on the dash board, Kostas.

I have been working on a military design Scania R620 for some time, as my interest has always been 1/35 scale military vehicles. I decided I wanted to try and build one in 1/24 scale. I must say that this particular Italeri kit is very good. The chassi of this particular model is beautiful. It looks almost like it came out of a Batman film. You'll see what I mean when you look at my pics. The constructions went well but the fittings could have been better. Regardless, the build went smoothly. Some irretations here and there but nothing too major. I had looked at some of the Dutch Scania trucks and got most of the ideas from their military Scania tractors. Hope you enjoy the pics so far. I am 99% done.
