I have been interested in the building aspect of model making. I love building dirty trucks that look used. Show trucks are great to look at but built-to-look used is what does it for me. I've been building trucks since 2011. Before that I've been building modern military vehicles since 2002. Must say that truck building is fun and nicer on the eyes, if you old chaps know what I mean.
I'm personally liking this so far. Not the absolute best but for my capabilities, with figure painting, I like the results. Just need to clean up a little in some areas but the end results are looking positive. At least in my eyes.

This diorama was once slightly bigger before it was reduce to the size you see in the photos. I wanted to concentrate on making smaller dioramas, so decided to re-do the diorama. The cab is now back on and figures have been re-arranged. [...]
My very first 1:8 scale dicast model. The details are beautiful and the weathering and painting were fun to do on such a big scale model like this farm tractor. The customer was satisfied with the results. I've added 'before' photos.
