IvanGouveia Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) TGA, thank you, brianthemodeller, thank you, This is when I was making the first assemblage to test the cab panels. This cab was not used. Now they are almost finished Edited November 6, 2015 by IvanGouveia 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adt70hk Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Ivan I've just stumbled across this post and am truly, truly amazed..... I do a small amount of 1/72 quick build AFVs and guns and am in absolute awe at what you've achieved. How long did these take you???? What metal do you use? How do you shape the metal so perfectly?? How, how, how...... Brilliant, simply brilliant!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGA Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Do you have any more work in progress pictures? Individual panels and stuff like that? Really nice and interesting work Sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richellis Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Now that is nice, Australian set forward axle specification. I love the 1srs cabs such a classic (even if they did kill the British truck makers alongside Volvo!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IvanGouveia Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) adt70hk, thank you, Along the last years, I have been trying to improve the way I make the scale models. Actually, I make steel molds to shape the tinplate. That is how I do it. There is some explanation about it in my website http://oficinaaberta.com.br TGA, thank you, You will see more on this in my website or my facebook page. Look for Ivan Gouveia oficinaaberta and you will find it. richellis, thank you, I like the classic ones too. Below are some pictures of the same model. Now, almost finished.

richellis Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Cracking, how about a Volvo G88 next... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IvanGouveia Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 richellis, thank you, I am sorry for taking too long to answer. Volvo G88 is great, it is worth thinking about for a future project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richellis Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Any use...... LINKY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IvanGouveia Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Richellis, thank you very much, That is a fantastic resource for a whole Volvo G88 Scale project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGA Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Maybe one of the Dakar Kamaz trucks. Love the look of those! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airea Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Since you have steel molds for your models, you should start manufacturing your own metal scale model kits and sell them... They are just amazing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IvanGouveia Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 airea, thank you very much. It is not that easy, at least for me. To sell kits, all the parts must be perfectly dimensioned so that there will be no trouble when assembling. When the parts are united by myself, I know exactly where to make the adjustments. I hope I can arrange things so that I can make kits of these models available. Although I am not good in English, I am translating my website. I hope to have an English version of everything I post there from now on. Here are some more pictures Scania LK 140 Scania LK 141 Scania L 36 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGA Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 The kit doesn't have to be perfect to be workable Ivan, that's the beauty of it. Your work is wonderful and I would definitely buy a kit if you put it up for sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IvanGouveia Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) TGA, thank you very much. I have sold some of these trucks, but they all were sold assembled, painted and finished. I will be studying the possibility of being able to make kits. There are some fellows in the United States and in Australia that have interest also. Scania L75 The nest of Scania scale models. All in tinplate. Now I am thinking about some improvements. Edited January 22, 2016 by IvanGouveia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
