The Swedish SBAT(Special Bulldog Allwheeldrive Terrain) - TGB 40 & TGB 30​

I have been working on the second SBAT model, TGB 40 from 'Swedish Model Works. Yes, its a 1:87 scale, too darn small for my taste, yet interesting, especially with the great details. This is the 3-axle brother to the TGB 30 from the same company, I did awhile back. Thanks to Håkan Zaar, the owner of the 'Swedish Model Works', for entrusting me, once again. I wanted to do something that will make the TGB 40 feel at home. Mud and more mud, was the theme of this little vignette. So I wanted to do it some justice. My apologies for my camera. I need to buy a new phone, although, reluctant, but my camera is not as effective as it was in the beginning. So please bear with me. Thanks for looking.

A great deal of detail that belies its size.

Great mud work & finishes. No drivers?

 

[tiking]

No drivers?

Nope. I got the models from the manufacturer as-is.

Super work, especially in such a small scale.

Congratulations, how you can work in this scale and produce effective weathering is beyond me Charles .
Hope Rick aka Mini Me sees this

Not easy John. I wore extra strength magnifying glasses to see the details. One would definitely need them unless you have extra strength 20/20 vision.

Hard to believe it's so small- thanks for the comparison shot.
Outstanding weathering at such a scale!

I was surprised myself, after receiving it, but great details on this little guy.
