Being new to the forum thought i would post a couple of pics of some my model truck projects.
This is a 1/24th scale replica of our old race truck/trailer on the top fuel drag racing team i work for.
The trailer started life as a italeri Citroen WRC rally team trailer and as been heavily chopped to what you see here.
Truck is a simple phase 1 italeri renault magnum with a phase 2 dash board ( couldnt locate a phase 2 grille at the time of building) with details such as spot lights and suzie cables from kfs.
1/24th scale replica im working on of one of my uncles trucks.
Started life a italeri 144l heavy truck kit. Turned into a twin steer with a kit from KFS, super single front wheels, rhd dash and KFS Stacks. Not int he photo is the “hanson” conblock logos that were done by Chris Moxon.
Currently building a brick trailer with crane brick grab for this one.
Just started building a replica of my uncles old Scania Centurion, pics to follow.

ahhhh,
been wondering about that scania mate, remember you saying you was building a brick trailer…hows it coming on?
heres my merc now, complete save for the decals. i have enjoyed building it and using airbrush for weathering for the first time…
Ah thought i had seen that name before. The scania is away at the doctors (aka Mixxy from tmw forum) having fallen off the tv unit.
Funny enough i decided to get the brick trailer back out yesterday and start work again along with working on my centurion.
Your merc is looking good, Like the weathering effect you have done. This is one thing i need to practice more.

A few months ago i bought some paints from vajello and only had a good result once the rest of the time the results where horrible. Proberbly my fault with the thinning ratios ( used to solvent and cellouse paints lol)
I will get some images taken of the brick trailer soon.
