What do you do if you won what I won?
tiking replied to tiking's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Thanks guys. I'll post some pics when I get the chance of the parts so you get to see how big they are. If you ever played with GI joe's action figures then you pretty much get an idea of how big this tank is. I think the figures are the same scale, if I'm not mistaken. -
I went to the IPMS 08 Open here in Sweden, and took home 2 Gold Medals and 1 Bronze medal. If that wasn't enough. I also was very surprise after winning two special prizes. 1. a Peterbelt Truck and the mother of all prizes...A 1/6 Pz.Kpfw.II Ausf.B armor tank. Talk about flabbergasted. My first thought when I walked up to recive it, I the hell am I going to get it home? I took the wife and kid with me and believe me there was no room in the car, if you include my seven models. Well, that is another story all together. But seriously, I've never built a WWII tank, let alone in scale 1/6...Ha Ha Ha... To make things even stressful, the whole audience wants to see it done by the next IPMS, which will be next year....oopps. I don't think so. Just thought I'd share.

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:

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:
