early Astran scania, still a work in progress but first pics of it.
Trailer will be a tilt, just waiting on its delivery and it should look well when done.
Hi tc trans,
The model looks good but the brown is the wrong colour, should be some sort of oka brown but i am not sure of the paint code sorry,i hope this has helped.Can i ask which truck this will be (registration number)? cheers Paul
Hi Paul
Stuck with the colour now even if it is wrong. I tried very hard to match it up from a photograph, so there was always the risk it was not quite the right shade of brown, I was aware of it being called ocra, but it is pretty impossible to find anyone who had heard of it at any paint shop locally.
The truck is not based on any particular truck, just liked the scheme and went from a variety of pics, if you think it resembles anything in particluar I am happy to use the reg.
Thanks for the comments
TC
I’ve joined the model making gang 
I’m struggling with the paint & the windows, but as it’s my first attempt I expected a few hurdles, didn’t help myself by choosing to do it in Stobart colours, but I’ll get there in the end.
Hi tc trans,
I think you could use GUL 599N the one in the destination doha film for the registration.Did you go to Gaydon this year? I am sure you know who i am if you did.Paul
Hi Paul
Yes I went to Gaydon this year, but did not display anything, although I will do next year.
And sorry, but it still gives me no clue as to who you are.

what you struggling with on the windows & paint, happy to help if I can
Hi tc trans,
My user avatar may give you a clue, look in old copies of TMW and find the volvo and the very first edition of TMW in the readers model section, Paul D… is who you are looking for.I suggest you attend Gaydon next year and display some models and come and find me for a chat.
All the best Paul.
seen pics of the volvo earlier in this thread, superb model, gives me a standard to aim for…lol.
Will certainly be looking to display next year at Gaydon, so will make a point of looking you up.
HI tc trans,
Keep up the good work and i will hope to see you there, i am usually around the entry desk area at the model section( the big room).Paul
Question:- model or real truck? 
same pic as on the box of the model I have in my stash, so therefore its a model 
I wanna have ago at doing one
where is best to start, what to buy etc
i find the best option of buying is ebay,this is where i buy or have bought most of my models.look under the toys section,the models and get up more on your left hand side ,tick the truck box and it will bring up all the trucks also tick the 1/24 if thats the scale you want to buy.if not your local mode shop might have some in stock
happy hunting
the old 141 has been also re released from heller.
david
I dunno what scale i want haha.
i do have some corgi trucks in 1/50
just want to have a crack at building my own
Hi I have 40/50 magazines vintage road scene,heritage commercials and vintage commercial vehicles going spare free to any one who wants to pick them up from north London Herts border 10 mins from South mims services anyone who wants them pm me
Spent ages reading through this thread, some top notch models on here, just wondering if anyone would be willing to sell on any unmade kits so I can have a crack 
Been looking on some sites and on ebay too but if anyone has got any they would sell on pm me or post back in thread.

Jon
