Just caught this one and I'm dumbstruck ( you want to improve??? ) this sort of model should be in a scandal museum!!


Fantastic build and the weathering is second to none

I have been working on the trailer for the Scania 142H long based chassi for some time now. So far this is where I am. I have finally added the side wind deflectors, which I painted black. I also toned down some of the weathering on the passenger side. Still have a little toning down near the windshield as well.
The trailer was scratch built and it is 90% complete. I have to add more details and a bit more subtle weathering around the trailer. I tried to make it look somewhat out dated by design but yet have a kinda modern feel to the rest of the overall look. I decided on the mix color combo; has the trailer, had been painted unprofessinally several times during its hard course life. Secondly, I wanted it to be different and stand out.


I am making the precast concrete slabs that will eventually be placed on the trailer when done..I am experimenting with various materials. The ones you see in the pics are made from posterboards. We will see what I end up using. The trailer has rest mounts for four precast slabs, which in turn can double up on each mount depending on thickness of the precast slab.


So I hope you like the trailer and the overall look of this tractor/trailer combo so far.

Appreciate the positive feedback fellas. Glad you like the results so far. Just got to do a little more work on details and minor weathering, then I will call it done.

That is simply stunning workmanship !

Thanks Steve. Since these pics I have since moved the electrical box towards the front. The trailer legs have also been moved to the front, underside of the trailer. Apparently it made the trailer too wide. EU trailer regulation. I will post pics later when I have done the loads for it.

As I said before this this is blinking awesome. Really like the weathering you have achieved on this, the trailer only makes the whole vehicle look that much better


Really fantastic
