Darn, was going to watch you do it and steel your ideas as I want to do a rest cab with steel bumpers 😉

Got a 3rd in the DAF class at Gaydon model truck festival 👍

A cracking build and I’ll be watching, will you be converting the KFS into the earlier steel bumper and chopping the sleeper to a rest cab? Would be interested in seeing that done as it’s some chops I have planned 👌

@Skodadriver brilliant thanks. I’ve had a look and can get the Holts easily, and obviously Revell is available widely. Time to go shopping 👍

Hello. Im building a A330 but what grey paints should I use, what are close. Would prefer acrylic or Halfords/Hycote paints that are close. Looks like 2 different Greys on the wings also from my pic.

Italeri DAF 95 extensively modified to copy a lorry I found pics of online. Kit chassis is lengthened, low suspension at the back is bits from the spare box, body scratch built from evergreen and plasticard. Load is the EMEK excavator detailed and re-painted. held down with working KFS chain binders. all nice and dirty as a working motor should be

I brought a toy from a car boot sale a few years ago, it had a nice 1/24 scale Mercedes Atego truck cab, and that’s the only reason I brought it! this is a Kamag Towbear, they used the Mercedes cab for a while. wheels from KFS rest scratch built. BGI doesn’t have this in it’s airside fleet but it reminds me of holidays!

A heller kit, built as park of my Black Country haulage collection. RJ Brooke’s from Willenhall, Heller 141 converted to a 111, Right had drive and the cab wheel arches where altered as the real lorry wasn’t a factory sleeper.

Just finished this model. Really enjoyed building this it’s a quick build that goes together beautifully. livery is Caribbean Shade, I saw a Mitsubishi Canter in there colours while on holiday so a bit of modellers licence used here. A working lorry depicted with the dirt and detritus of a working truck.

Very very close, it’s on a W plate so August 81 to July 82 😬

Could I possibly throw an 80’s truck in the mix? got a build for the Gaydon truck show I need to build bed June 11th 🤨

Oh can I pop my name in the hat. I saw an interesting picture that needs a model building and this will be a good excuse. Will have time to get some bits and bobs together ready 👍

Now 1:24. AEC Mammoth Major, scratch build chassis and body rare resin cab in Briton Ferry Steel livery Hawkins have a couple of Electric Volvo FM trucks, this is a modified Italeri chassis, with A&N models FM cab, working lights. My first electric truck model Finally an Italeri DAF 95, this was released with the decals for Chevrier but was not correct as it was a 6x4 and had a low Italian style canvas body. given rear air suspension and a modified Italeri curtain side trailer shortened for the lorry to give a more realistic model. Got a 3rd for best DAF at Gaydon truck model show this year

Another year done. first another Kendrick model commission build, Corgi model, this is the first with a 3D printed body I helped design Corgi model built for John Pearson who has a nice collection of Foden lorries Now for me, a couple for my Black Country hauliers. Corgi 1:50 again another commission, Tekno model modified for a friend of the original driver

Contact the bus museum at Wythall in Brum. They have a collection of old electric floats and documentation on them
