Thank you kindly for your observation. Appreciate the positive feedback.

Tiking !

Well Sir ’ I would have to say spot on ! Except for the tractor make ( we don’t see them around here ) it is an exceptional build .I like your weathering and just one point I would like to make .Can you age the tires some ? T.B. I mention them because they are one of the first things you see .

Epic bends, buckle, rust holes in the trailer and great

brake line details.

24

I take it you are referring to the scrap tyres? I know they need more aging and weathering. I will work on them later. They do take some time. I did 20 but unfortunately they are somewhere at the bottom of that pile. I tried to keep them on the top but it was harder.

25

Thanks Dash8. Much appreciated.

26

Yeah , Tiking ;

I have that same problem with barge and cargo ship loads . It is tedious , But as I said . Spot On ! T.B.

Utterly fantastic build! I wish I could make models look THAT realistic.
Great pics, too.
The ONLY gripe is…the tires in the trailer look too…new. Chucking them onto a mandrel on a drill and sanding them down would have made them look used and worn out.
BUT…other than my useless comment…that’s one HECK of an awesome build.
Thanks for posting your fantastic pics of your GREAT build!

Thanks for your comment and feedback.

The grime, the rust, the dirty, scruffy look…dang, mate…that’s one heck of a model.
Nicely done…very nice.

[dto:] Very Good!!!

31

Glad you liked the results. Still need to grind down the tyres some more. And will, thinking about it anyway; adding a net over the tyres. We’ll see what happens.

Thanks greenyracker98.

Wow, I don’t get over here much but that’s amazing!!! Love the rust and grime.

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone mention it but I love even more the beat-up, bent, and bowed-out work you did on the trailer. She really looks like a working truck, like she’s been backed into stuff, had heavy stuff banged up against her, and had a bucket rammed into the sides of the container.

34

Thanks Gamera. Yep! She has had her time and it will be off to the scrap yard in about a weeks time. No salvaging required.

35

Btw, here was the inspiration for my biild:

36

Hmmm!

Did you really need to photoshop it ? LOL! LOL! T.B. P.S. Too Cool !

37

Thanks for that. Good one.

38

Beautiful model of something a bit different! Love the Michelin Man.

39

Charles…don’t change your fantastic build because of my idiotic comments…that truck is beautiful. I’m VERY impressed.
Again…thanks for posting those great pics!
