Truck Axle Service Vignette

[tiking]

This is a quick vignette I made in-between my current major truck build. Yes, I have been doing quite a lot of them lately. I wanted something to take with me to the GGG exhibition in Sweden, in two weeks time. So I came up with this after seeing a pic on the net. I used parts, which I modified to be able to get the open rear axle effect I wanted. I have lots of 1/24 parts left over from older builds, which I’ve discarded over the years. Hope you all like it.

Thanks Chris.

Excellent! All the weathering and little details really add to it. I like the cut-off U-bolts and the fluid in the housing.

What's not to like? This is a fantastic example of every part of a model being a model itself. Very, very well done!

[tiking]

Thank you Eric. Kind of you.

Absolutely brilliant detail Charles, and what a perfect way to make use of parts that would just sit in boxes and probably never get used. Good luck with the GGG exhibition in Sweden when you go there.

The only detail I would add here is some fasteners where the wooden  cross boards on the pallet where they meet the 4 by 4's.

That looks so real that I can actually smell the grease!! Awesome!!!!
