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 have been going to town with this trailer. I wanted a bit more heavy winter weathering than the main truck. I used many reference photos to achieve a similar look on this trailer. I will go over and pack the snow a little tighter or [...]
Yep! It's another 1:50 scale commission job from the same customer, who commissioned the truck dock/bay. The customer partner, Tobias Oscarsson, has the exact same truck in real life. This time, its a simple weathering job. I decided to go [...]
After these photos were taken, I'd realized I did not add a crucial detail. The slight damage to the ground, when the forks came in contact. Not there would have been any major difference to the ground or tarmac, but it would make for a [...]
I have been working on the second SBAT model, TGB 40 from 'Swedish Model Works. Yes, its a 1:87 scale, too darn small for my taste, yet interesting.
This is the 3-axle brother to the TGB 30 from the same company, I did awhile back. [...]
This build was inspired by Clint Young, who is a 3D artist professional, working with Lucasfilm. I got the go ahead, to do a 3D print of his 3D art design, called Hover Hogg. The Original image of his work can be seen on Instagram, [...]
I have been on a roll with hover vehicles since my last major 1:50 scale build. Here is one of two, anti-gravity vehicles. My version of an anti-gravity tuk-tuk taxi. A mixture of old school and sci-fi technology, with a hint of derelic [...]
I have added lights and a simple background interior for the inside warehouse of the truck dock diorama. The lighting is not the best, especially being my first time working the lights. I did my best, as a beginner, but at least I have [...]
This little quick 'how-to', is for a future project I am planning a 1:24 scale diorama, which is going to involve some major scratch building and many detail objects. So stay tuned. If you know me than you know how I always like to find a [...]
I am closing in on the finishing of this build. I have some details to add here and there. Then I will be figuring out how to add lights. That is another heap to jump over. But I will give it a try. The wall at the left of the dock was not [...]
A little update. I've added a third dock to the the already two that I had already made. At the very corner of the dock will be a wall, which I'm presently working on. I added another big extension to the docking bay end. This was mainly [...]
