Scania Lt 141 1/8 Scale

[modelbyggeren]

Hello again.

A new project has begun. Or rather, 2 almost identical models.

Both models are of the Scania Lt 141 type from 1979. They were ordered on the same day by the two owners and I took the challenge of building them simultaneously.

I started preparing the drawings in November 2018 and here are the pictures of the results for now.

They are built in scale 1/8 and are basically 100% scratch built.

I made sure to make molds for as many of the parts as possible. It simplifies the work on the other model - and maybe on future projects as well.

Wow, nice project and it's going very well by the looks of it. I love those Scania trucks.

Fabulous metal work!

 

I'd love to see and read about some of your specific work, such as the ventilation slots. I'm guessing you have a lathe, mill, and a sheet metal brake among other tools?

• Yes, over time I have purchased a number of machines in the workshop. The need has grown as the models have become more complicated. I'm especially fond of Proxxon's machines. Recently I bought a Holzmann multifunctional machine for rolling, bending and shearing which is indispensable when working with sheet metal. But I found it difficult to build these models when living in Denmark. The Raw materials I need in my models, such resin is impossible or extremely expensive to buy here in Dk, so they come from the UK and germany which are my main suppliers.

You are a staggering craftsman my friend. Machining, casting, joining plus correct scaling of all parts.

Bravo - !

 

If you ever plan an auto, I vote for a Bugatti Royale.

I will keep on watching your progress
