That looks great! On the interior "leather", how did you make the low spots between the diamonds look darker? It really adds a 3D effect to the interior. It actually looks "soft".

thanks
base color was a mixture of tan and red-brown acrylics

than i washed with burned sienna oil-color / turpentine mixture - always wear a filter mask while working with turpentine!
after drying i dry brushed wit a matt-tan enamel and repeat this two steps until it gets a decent depth

Hi,

I'm very, very impressed! Everything about it is excellent - those old AMT kits can look good but we know how much work it takes to get them looking as nice as these.

Thanks for putting the link up about the figures as well - will have to check it out.

Very nice tanker combo, Axel, with great photographs!

You truly give me some inspiration for my Freightliner kits, these workhorses look much better and more realistic than those overdressed Chrome-monsters.

Wow - I'm very glad I checked in to this Truck section after a long time and saw this. Excellent work all over, this must be one of the most realistic Truck models that I have seen in a long time. These are hard to get right, because usually most of the parts are painted with the same color, but this one looks spot on. I like your paint job. It looks very smooth and shine is just right - not too shiny but not too flat either. Very nice work overall, I wish I saw more of this good Truck models being built.

Looks a million dollars, really captured the fleet truck look perfectly. The outside pics came up a treat too. Well done on returning to the hobby.
