Pete in Lincs Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Mate, impressive stuff and the build looks like it was a labour of love. Yes, scratchbuilding has changed, in some ways for the better. But this is old school and all the better for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roginoz Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 What a great job of research, planning, design and scratch building to achieve a stunning result, especially the rhd conversion ! Some meaty loads you carried in those days. I'm more than impressed ! And I'd be interested in the story of the transformer, when the spirit moves you. Errr....pic #7......is that you or your oppo apparently peeing on the wheel.......?? :o} Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albergman Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Great story and an outstanding model. I think models that you have an attachment to are the best ones and will bring back a memory every time you look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Well, I'm somewhat lost for words! That is a most awesome truck model! As a Queenslander myself, I am thoroughly familiar with Brambles trucks plying our highways. Chances are I've crossed that Calliope River bridge more than a few times too. Your work is very inspiring to me. I'm presently building a Revell Kenworth W900 and an AMT Peterbilt 952. I've been a born-again modeller since the early 90's but have not built a truck kit since I was about 13 years old (circa mid-70's). I'm really enjoying my return to truck modelling - although much less ambitious than your beautiful Road Boss! Thanks for the inspiration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I "liked" this build earlier this week but didn't have time to comment. It's a fantastic build and I can see how that trailer took a while, what with all the detail you put on it. Excellent work. The load looks heavy even in scale 🙂 @kapam It would be nice to have your truck builds as a WIP on the forum, we need more of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" --------- Given up on building model trucks from kits and highly modifying them, now into scratchbuilding only, sorry about that. 🙂 Nothing to be sorry about I'd say. By the way I asked Mr. "Kapam" if he could show the truck builds he mentioned in the "Work In Progress" section, but now that you mentioned your scratch building efforts, I for one would be very interested to see how you went about that so that would be interesting to follow as well. Next time you start a project, maybe you could share the proceedings with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeroenS Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Thanks! I'm that guy that doesn't have Facebook so I could only see a few pics but it's truly amazing. I'm moving house next year and I'll have way more modelling space and to celebrate that fact I have the 1/16 Peterbilt 359 coming in. For me it's better to use a kit as a starting point 😉 ... But I will be converting it and adding detail, on my own level of course 🙂 Builds such as yours are very inspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
