Truck Docking Bay
The truck docking bay was scratch built using foam-board and lots and lots of small misc. materials from my big box of miscellaneous stuff. The trailer is from Italeri, which I added some scratch built parts to it. The forklift is a toy, that I converted and added scratch built parts and repainted.
6 additional images. Click to enlarge.

THIS. IS. AMAZING! I'm lost for words. At what scale is it?
Charles King said on November 13, 2017
Thank you. It is 1/24 scale.

Something very different, your use of miscellaneous spare parts and accessories has helped to produce a very convincing scene that is so commonplace in today's world.
Charles King said on November 13, 2017
Thank you kindly. I have sip but they are many to upload. I do not know the limit of how much you can upload.

This is so realistic I at first thought the photo depicted the real docking bay! This is absolutely marvelous!
Charles King said on November 13, 2017
Thank you Morne.

Your'e not foolin' us for a minute, Charles...this can't be something you made - it's waaaaaay too good. 🙂
(and there's no limit on how many pics you can post, so go on back down to that company where you took these pictures and post some more - and this time, put a bottle of paint or sumthin' in one of the photos to quiet skeptics like me). 🙂 🙂

Haha! Good one Craig. That is a mighty compliment. Thank you.

Fabulous, Charles. You have a real eye for details. And for reproducing those details in a small scale.
VERY well done!
