The tractor unit is mostly heavily modified from two kits and some minor scratch building and kit bashing. The trailer is scratch built. Still looking for a load for this thing. Not an easy task when there are only a couple to choose from. Of course they are expensive. For now it will remain as is until I can figure out what to put on it without breaking the bank.

Very nice work! The weathering is excellent and it looks as if it just left the delivery site. :)

Holy Smoke! If it were not for the chair in the pic I would swear that was real!

Charles, you are the king of realistic finishes! It really is hard to tell that this is a model without real world items in the scene.

deathjester · « **Reply #12 on:** July 24, 2016, 01:37:48 AM »

Well Done!! As the guys have been saying, hard to tell that's not a real truck without something in the pic to scale it against - and I just love your weathering! Absolutely perfect!! :)

From Armorama, mainly. Please post the shack you built, and the Iraqi street scene. Both were awesome.

Just incredible museum-quality work! I can almost smell the diesel fumes!

You've really got the distressed "wear-and-tear" look down pat. Talk about amazing talent!

Kind of you to say it Brian. Glad you like the final results.

Thanks everyone. Btw, outside photos always help make model look realitic when taken right. That's why I try and as many outside photos with my models as possible, when I can.

Old Wombat · « **Reply #21 on:** July 25, 2016, 08:53:10 PM »

And again with the photoshopping!

Awesome work, mate! Brilliant! :)
