Title: SLB Heavy Industries - Siberian Logging Truck
Post by: Steve Blazo on November 18, 2017, 05:34:20 AM

Siberian Logging truck from 1/35 Dragon Scud B Maz-543 TEL
The cab and engine compartment are the only parts used from the Dragon kit, everything else is scratch built.
Inspiration came from a wargame miniature of a tracked truck with similar tread design and a flat bed with short sides.

Way way way too excellent. :o
Weathering is just right in just the right places.  To visualize what weathering should be where and have skill to weather that way is impressive.

Now, THAT´s a proper logging truck!

Great weathering to go along a great build!

Could you share with us how you made the caterpillar track section (donor kit?, scratchbuilt?)? Thanks!
