Brilliant. The weathering is top notch.

Just a great big 'WOW'! I can't think of anything else to write....I'm speechless!

 

[tiking]

Short and candid responses guys. Much appreciated.

Working on a net.

Magnificent! I agree with all the plaudits. I personally love to see good sharp closeups which show the detail which I think are important in larger-scale modelling. Although a closeup runs the risk of showing bits best hidden, yours are all top notch, and authentic.

Added a net to cover the container to prevent tyres from falling off, as if. :


OK. Now is the haul with the net. I am not really concern of the correct way of doing the attachments. As you can the see, if one has to be so concern about the restrictions of how the net should be attached then just take one look at the entire haul as a whole; then the net should be less of a concern. Just my take on the whole thing. There are hooks at the end of the four corners of the container for the net to be attached.

Just stunning! I keep looking at it thinking it can't be a model..

Hey Charles, that's looking awesome. It really does look real

 

[Guest]

Rather unfathomable detail and weathering!


I don't even know how you've done most of that, but it's a thing of beauty.


I agree on the 'show trucks' sort of thing, it's a whole other level to get to this realism

A convincing model of a hard-worked truck. So much so that if I met it on the Motorway I would give it a wide berth!

Thanks everyone. It's been a great run trying to het it to this stage. I like the final results.

Some outside photos. Thought I'd share it with you guys. Does make a difference, I think:

A lot of very good realistic detail. You should be proud of this.

 

[Guest]

I'm actually thinking that this is possibly the best weathering I've ever seen...your attention to detail is exemplary, and it gets me poring over the photos looking for a slip, or a flaw, and failing comprehensively! This is as good as it gets, IMHO.

Thank you Steve. I am proud of this one Steve. Because of you guys? I am.
