Vbad Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) Hello, mates! It's been a while since my last post, sorry for that. So I'm glad to introduce you the model I finished just on 31 of December, 2015. By the way, this is the first big rig I was building I took an Italeri kit and carried on a little conversion. The cab was given a rear wall as I wanted it as a daycab. The bed is made from styrene sheets and profiles, the boards were cut from balsa wood sheet. I also made straight exhaust pipes from styrene rod and added mounting brakets made from wire and square profile. The truck has got some aftermarket parts - super-single front tires, six-spoke resin rims, photoetched badges on the hood and grille and the dog, of course. As you can see I tried to represent some wiring and plumbing under the hood and chasis, of course that is not 100% close. The final point is the weathering. You know, I like to give a 1/24 scale model some weathering, because it geves you much more opportunities than 1/35 scale. The effects you can see on cars and trucks in a real life are varied extremely wide, so there's a full scope to train your skills. As a result of it all - here we got this old, ratty but still sturdy workhorse straight from some construction site or a junkyard. I hope you'll enjoy it. Greetings from Russia!

mikemodeler Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 You post some pictures of a real truck, call it a model and expect us to believe you? Just kidding, that is awesome and very realistic, great details and weathering.
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 My kind of build!! Excellent work!! Very Realistic model!! I like the wood on the bed! The mix match paint job is my favorite!!
Superpeterbilt Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 What a great build! Very nice work, and cool idea. This would look great with some crated up diesel engines on the bed.
