Your own builds are really great too, you have some really clean trucks there, nice work!

hi, the volvo's are in a garage that belongs to two brothers who has been in the trucking business for years, but when the prices in the trucking business kept dropping they removed the plates on the FH16 and put in the garage with the old classics, as the guy who showed us around said, it is better to have it parked up in here making no money then having it on the road loosing money.

here's a link to some pics from the company Brdr. Nielsen.

Thanks for your comment :D ! the pusher axle is steering with the front axle, i'm trying to work out how to make it rigid when it's lifted, but still a long way to go with this one, and then of course trailer has to be matching in colors.

Started on a new project, the plan is something old and rusty, still haven't planned colours for the truck, but trailer is going to be PIE livery, I´ve drilled about a thousand holes in body used super glue and baking powder to make it look rusty, hope you like it.
