modelbyggeren Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) 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.

dnl42 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 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? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelbyggeren Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 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. The last image is the radiator grille on the scania 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codger Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
