Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

I like the old rust effect and look but on a nice new shiny looking chassis ? Is it going to look right? It would be nice to see the rusted look on the steps/ battery box perhaps.

Love the fleet and all the pics :) thanks

Mario

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

thanks for commenting, frame/steps/battery box is getting same treatment only thing that I'll keep shiny is probably the bumper

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

i like the truck looking good!

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

roundabout
in post #53 page 3 there is a yellow towtruck any info on that rig?

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

Thanks! :)

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

Haven't got any links to it, but i'll try to get some pic of it for you.

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

This is going to be a sweet rig when it is finished:) Although I have never seen a PIE trailer with a spread axle before.

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

very nice truck...do u know who built the crane on that blu scania?

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

Thanks for commenting, the PIE stickers arrived way faster than i expected, so I never got around to rebuilding the axle set up, but I´ll get it done, it needs a set of red wheels as well I think.

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

No I don't know who build it, but I do know that there is a build thread somewhere, I'll see if I can find it.

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

In the first page, I really am diggin' your Kenworth King Hauler. That is the closest model truck I have seen to something I am going to build. The only differences is that it will be stretched some more with more bling bling, but still a working heavy hauler. Keep up the good work!

,Jarrett

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

Thank you and thanks for your comment, the Kenworth has seen its share of different setups, and I think it will probably see some more before its finished

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

got a new cab in the mail today, its a SCANIA L111, the cab was produced from 1974-1981 as I recall, i'm planing on making it into either a ASG truck or something you would see doing the middel east runs in the 70´and early 80´. still got a long way to go, but hey it´s always nice to have something on the shelves.

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

That is a nice cab, should be very motivating! Can't wait to see it under construction!

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

Ill keep you updated, but I think its gonna be a slow build this one.

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

I've been wanting to build a hot rod king for years, so when I saw Biggus' Rat Rod King I thought now was the time, I ordered the FRACTURE engine (think I been looking at it for a year or so) from rc4wd, dug through the boxes in the attic for an old cab I got from a friend maybe 4/5 years ago, found a set of VERKERK low-profile tyres for the front axel and a set of super singles from a tamiya reefer trailer, suspension i also from a reefer kit engin is a carson.

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

Love that L111 cab. Coincidentally seen one on the road the other day too. The old Scanias sure had class.

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

its a classic, you still see them on the road once in a while over here.

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

did a little trimming on the top today, still got a long way to go.

That is incredible, I love the way you make everything come together like that!! you are setting the bar high, my friend!!

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

Thank you blitzk, trying to keep it old school Danish in the color scheme.

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

I bought a King Hauler chrome edition cab a couple of years ago I only wanted to use the bunk, tonight i finally got around to chopping it up, I wanted to use it on my log truck, kinda like the old Mercury sleepers, to give it a old school west coast look, I had the frame rails from my Grand Hauler kit and the fuel tanks left over from one of the other builds, also changed the gearbox housing, it more or less fell apart over the last 5-6 years, hope you like it.

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

It's coming together nicely.

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

I really like the way the log trucks coming along. I've never seen those verkerk hub caps before any info on them? And nice job on weathing the green king hauler, the rust holes were a very nice touch. Good job so far bud.

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

Thank you egronvold

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

Thanks BRICKNICK, the log truck has changed a lot over the years, the green rustbucket is still a work In progress.
You can get the hubcaps at http://verkerk-modelbouw.nl/ good customer service and fast shipping.

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

A little over a year ago we started on my lil buddy Johannes scania (he's 15 years), we started plying around with different color schemes on the ipad, we ended up using the colors from an old danish company, twisted the livery a bit around, still trying to keep it old school Danish, addet a bullbar and a sun visor from a 1990-95 model 143 scania that i found in belgium, the paint job is done by a retired auto painter, it still needs some lettering and white pinstriping, hope you like it.
