Title: Truck Axle Service Vignette
Post by: tiking on December 14, 2018, 11:42:20 PM
This is another small and 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.

I don't see the model... just 1:1 truck parts. Your attention to detail and weathering is amazing!

You even nailed the rusty, oily water in the bottom of the housing! You thought of everything. Outstanding!

That's some of the best rusted, distressed metal I've ever seen.

Incredibly well done!

What can I say beyond "Damn!  You nailed that!"?  It looks 1/1.
