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.
Ok guys, here are the final complete photos of this build. I decided not to add a vehicle, as I could not decide. So it will stay like this until something pops into my head. At least the focus is on the transport alone. 😉
The list [...]
Another hover build. This one was a fun build. Rather quick to build. I made the vespa to look as it is actually hovering in some of the photos. I managed that, by gluing the figure to the bike and using the curb to gain extra height, the [...]
I did this many years ago. I thought someone might find it interesting. These scratch build, steel doors were made using thin aluminum plates I bought at a hobby store, which I cut to size, with a pair of scissors. I weathered using these [...]
This build came about by converting and scratch building, the old Italeri Volvo F6 Fire ladder kit. I had bought this a couple of years ago at an exhibition together with other second hand kits for little or nothing. I did not know what to [...]
Its been awhile since I did a anti-gravity vehicle. I think its time to hop back on that track again. ;). This build was inspired by Andre Webe's sci-fi rickshaw generated 3D model. At first, I added a canopy but had to remove it because, [...]
Weathering tyres can be just as satisfying as modeling an entire model. Here are some that I did, which most of you have already seen. I used Citadel Mournfang Brown, and graveyard brown, and earth/brown filter/shade colors to add depth. I [...]
This is a re-make of a previous diorama, together with vehicles from another diorama added to the mix. There is also a newer vehicle added to the diorama to give it more flavor. The reason for this new diorama mixed with the old, is [...]
This diorama came about of necessity. A diorama had been destroyed by a child sometime ago. I decided to re-use items from that diorama together with another diorama to make up for the destroyed one. Most of the figures have been taken [...]
Like my last overload project this one takes things a little further. The scale is 1/35, simply because, I had this vehicle on hand, that I did not know what to do with it. So I turn it from being a military truck to a civilian vehicle [...]
I did something like this over 10 years ago. I figured I can do again, but better. If it is better, I don't know. but it is definitely better than the first one I did. The scale is 1/24 HC22 Suzuki Jimny JA11-5. The kit is by Hasegawa. The [...]
