Hi Scaren’
Brilliant models mate, scratchbuilt models like these have something model kits don’t have cos they have that real personal touch. Love the Dodge Texaco tanker, be nice to see a pic of that in full, & the scrapyard is great, you can feel the atmosphere, only thing missing are the 2 Alsation dogs!
Regards Chris
Hi Chris, thanks very much for your kind comments, I am really glad you like my models. Here is a photo of the Dodge for you, its a scratchbuilt cab sitting onto of a Ford Louisville chassis and a tanker modified from a Kenworth tanker toy (the exhaust is hanging a little low!):
And here is the scrapyard diorama, in 1/76th scale:
If you want to see anymore, find them on my flickr photostream:

Hi Scarren, thanks for the pics, like the Dodge mate, OK the exhaust may be a bit low but the model captures the subject well, I have driven 6 wheeler tankers for Watson Petroleum/Texaco & Flitwick Oil/Esso, just the right set-up for charging round country lanes & farms with! Great scrapyard, thats my kinda place, I can lose myself in that sort of place for hours, Rush Green Motors is the best, last time I went I could have stayed in there for days & just sent out for pizza’s!!!
Here is a pic of my latest model , it is an italeri DAF XF 95 in the livery of owens of llanelli
