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 working on a 1/50 scale diorama for someone. It's a truck dock that will handle about 6 trucks. Docks for 4 full fledged truck and trailer and two single trucks without their trailers. Lots of fittings with bits and pieces of [...]
Took some outside photos of the MF farm tractor that I integrated into another diorama some time ago.
Made a little vignette for a pic frame wall mount for a possible buyer. Scale is 1/35.

I've updated this diorama moving the trailer slightly more inward and adding hydraulic cables and snow here and there. I've always added or tried to mimic melted ice on the roads, in certain areas. You can see them in a few photos. I also [...]
Yep, its's another 1:50 job in the works. Rikard Algotsson has Commission me, to build another 1:50 scale diorama. This time a snow diorama. Now this is my first snow diorama has I have never felt comfortable about doing one due to the [...]
I finally completed the diorama for the 'Bigfoot' wheel excavator I posted not too long ago. This is basically a display for any similar 1/32 or even better, 1/50 scale construction model. The base itself is an old binding circular hard [...]
