The container is supposed to be filled to the brim with scrap tires but I did not have sufficient to achieve this. So ill have to get my hands on some tires that no one has a need for. A little more toning the weathering on the container, behind the cab, and minute detailing and it is done.

Your work on these trucks and dioramas are so inspiring Charles, and always done to such a very high standard. Great work.
 
love it Charles,just superb weathering and detail to it,great work and attention to detail, :D
 
Charles the Magician at work again!


All your other superb models are first rate, but this is top of the pile.


Amazing attention to detail.


Regarding your tyre shortage, why not place a suitable thickness block of polystyrene in the trailer, paint it black and then add what tyres you have on top of the block?

Thanks gents. Glad you love the build. Makes me feel I've done something right. Spanner570, thanks for the tip. I have already figured that out. Thanks buddy.
 
An effective way of filling the trailer is to create a false floor using a cardboard platform to raise the floor of the trailer then using a lesser amount of tyres as the load. Model railway modellers use this trick to reduce weight and cost of wagon loads.


Ron beat me to it!
 
That is one of the best trucks I have ever seen, realistic is not even close...amazing work! You put this outside and did some clever perspective shots and I defy anyone to tell this is a model.


Cracking...love it...want it.
 
That's just wow!...just shown swmbo a close up of the front wheel...she's just managed to put her jaw back in place, lol :D


Charles yet again again you've pushed limits of modelling and weathering... outstandingly fantastic!!!


Lee :)

Wow! Thank her for me. You guys have made my day. Thank you so much. Much love to you all.
 
Superb work Charles....and everything everybody else said...Tractor looks the hard miles back and forth from the dirty scrap yards to the dirty tire recyclers. Very nice indeed;)............Jim:)
 
Spot on,you'd have a job telling it from the real thing,excellant work.
 
Amazing work Charles,your work is certainly inspirational and also just shows us what you can do with these kits!


How many hours did you put into this?


Cheers,Ben
 
Looking at the pictures, I had to keep reminding myself this is a model. The realistic finish on this is not almost perfect, IT IS perfect!!


To get plastic to this finish making someone disbelieve their eyes is truly remarkable.

Thanks a lot. The models are actually old models that i had built a long time ago and had used them in another diorama. I just gave them a make over. So the actual make over took a couple of days to do.
