Renault Magnum - Smashed!!!!

Tiking · May 11, 2011, 1:14am

This project, like all my other projects, had to be different. This one I call - Smashed! I looked at many pics of different truck crashes and went on from there. This is my second 1/24 scale truck. Enjoy the photos.

Nice one! I like it, although I prefer trucks in one piece [:D] I like the weathering and the realistic damage, but I think you have gone “a bridge too far” with the grease on the fifth wheel. Do you have any unsmashed trucks? I’d like to see them. Good luck with your next projects, have a nice day

Thanks. I do have another unsmashed truck build. I have personally seen trucks with that much grease here in Sweden. So It is not uncommon. There are things in life that certain people do not see everyday and things that are seen everyday. It may not be common be it has been done.

Thanks for the comments.

How did you make the grease on that wheel?

that looks so real it’s scary! Awesome job! [:D[

Thanks fellows. The grease is simply a mixture of old machine grease, used to lubricate them(from my work place. I work in a steel factory) and a mixture of black paint mixed with a little black pigment. I just mixed everything with a Q-tip and applied.

Man, I hate it when that happens. Great work all around and excellent creativity. Can’t think of a better thing to happen to a Renault…

another amazing build Tiking!

As a lover of all things smashed and/or rusty, I give it two HUGE [Y][Y]'s! It’s definitely a fresh take on a truck as a modeling subject. I can’t remember ever seeing one built as “wrecked”.

My highest compliments. It’s awesome, honestly.

Thanks doog. Different is my specialty.

Thanks to everyone who has commented on this build. It makes me feel that the build was all worth it.
