Nice models folks…below are pics of my efforts. They are in 1:50 scale. The firm was one around in the 70s/early 80s. The trialers are corgi code 3s, and the tractor is a white metal kit build.
Enjoy! ![]()

Just fantastic, love the joker, was it owned by bob Edwards?, I’m inspired to do a ‘tricky’ f12 globie now!
Hi All, hi Harryvr6 yes Bob Edwards was the first owner of the Joker from new, The Joker was one of the first 3 Globetrotters in the uk, would have been a good truck to restore and put on the show circuit ! It was later owned by Gary Burton who’s photos it used to do the model.
Regards Jimski
Cheers, my son is called bob Edwards! I can feel a build coming on ha ha! Does anyone have any info on this operator/ outfit at all? Some great models on here, some I recognise from truckmodelworld too, thanks again, harry.
Hi Gazzad, love the DAF mate the weatherings real trick , not over the top, just right, I’m gonna have to start to weather mine I think, bought a Harder and Steenbeck airbrush about 2/3 months ago ain’t used it yet, think I’m gonna give it a bash!
Regards Jimski
Thanks Jimski.A lot of the weathering is pastels.Works great along with the airbrush as well as can be dusted off if your not happy. Garry. ![]()

Gallacher Daf Blue Eclipse 1/24 scale
Cracking model, the attention to detail is amazing, I especially love the grease on the rear mudguards and the cracked paint on the backs of the mirrors ![]()
I found this site and thought it may come in handy for the truck modellers, well the ones who need a rusty container or lift tank to copy.
