richellis

Thanks for the comments, possibly the first time I’ve completed a GB entry!

Built for the 'Brits abroad' GB, full build here, built from a complete wreck so I was happy to chop it about a bit DSC_0001 by richellis1978, on Flickr DSC_0004 by richellis1978, on Flickr DSC_0009 by richellis1978, on Flickr DSC_0016 by richellis1978, on Flickr Full flickr album is also Here Next on the bench another EC, a quick pic Untitled by richellis1978, on Flickr

Build completed DSC_0001 by richellis1978, on Flickr

British designed and built truck, ERF EC11 built for the Spanish market. 1/24 resin cab, converted to Left hand drive euro spec, and Italeri chassis modified to make it suit an ERF. DSC_0001 by richellis1978, on Flickr DSC_0004 by richellis1978, on Flickr DSC_0016 by richellis1978, on Flickr

Some nice work there

Looks good, if it was me I’d pack the front axle, to give a high look that would suit this type of truck, it would probably be seen with a big waste tipper

I can see the end in sight, the cab is now dirty as is the chassis. Need to keep adding details now and bits like marker lights and mirrors

Thanks for the comments, got this in progress too but not put any pics up as there isn’t a lot of interest in trucks

Been tinkering today, done some detail with the window rubbers, got the screen in, managed to crack it but as it’s as rare as rare I’ll have to live with it, but the truck is well ‘used’ and this will be weathered to look like a working wagon.

Thanks, decals came today, arrived at 8am, and they are on!

This is moving forward slowly, it’s being build alongside the red version too. Anyway, the cab is painted now, and my decals are done and on the way to me, and the ref plates I had custom made are also here and I couldn’t resist putting one on the bumper! The chassis is also complete, and painted grey and will be detailed next week when it’s dry! small details are also in process, with the mirrors made up and in paint, same as cab grab handles and the air intake. Next on the to-do list is inside the cab! Needs painting and some clutter adding. https://flic.kr/p/KYWBnH

Carters steam fair on the move

Not much progress, wheels are painted. Took a few pics with another ERF EC I’m building, that’s a low roof version, shorter wheelbase and on steel suspension all round! The pics show the plumbing on the chassis. Need to think about some paint on the chassis now, Tamiya tank grey is a very close match, and I need some gloss white for the cab and bumper.

Yes, the availability of British trucks is limited, companies like KFS and Kingdom did/do resin conversions like this for us to use. susie gantry, it’s the air and electrical connection lines between the cab and trailer (coiled leads you can see, normally black)

Thanks, I’m glad joining the GB has brought a different genre to people’s attention
