Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS
 

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.
