Two Western Star photo replicas

[Hammerdown]

Two more replicas completed. Using my digital photo construction technique which consists of me photographing all the surfaces of the real truck, then scaling the photos to 1/43 scale and cutting out all the parts from the photographs. Then gluing all the parts together onto a plastic chassis and fully lit with micro lights. Finished  product is basically a 3D photo replica.

Rick you are right. Using my technique you can build any truck as long as you can get the photos to work with. 

Sergey, I try to complete the models with a full complement of lights, including headlights, clearance and brake lights. On the Western Star with the refer, that totaled 97 lights.
