a hobby, take the truck for a spin up or down the drive way
or blast the boat around the pond and go back home..
BUT the Europeans go to a whole other level with there
hobbies. These guys with that monster big rig playground
or there is a place for scale boats with harbors bridges and
the works. way to go guys!!!:D

I've been to the attic today and found these put away in a box years ago, had almost forgot about them, my fingers just dont seem to agree with thes size of wedico's tiny bolts and nuts, maybe, hopefully they will be finished some day. hope you like them.

I know your pain when it comes to the small M2 screws and nuts on the Wedicos, keep at it and one day you will reach the finish line. I'm not quite there myself but hopefully in 2012 I get there.

If it's the white volvo you're referring to, then I think that he will be posting it in here in a while.


and thanks for the comment on the orange and white volvo, it a replica of my old truck from back in the nineties.

Had a little building time for the first time in ages, and we bought a R620 SCANIA for my little buddy Johannes, he's 12 years old and it's his first RC-truck, its a BLUE EDITION kit set up as a twinsteer.

http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x...b/DSC00192.jpg

we also started on a trailer for him.

first test drive with the trailer!

then it all went a little overboard, and we went and got a BLUE EDITION cab for an old SCANIA frame I had lying around

Is that a private Volvo collection? Some seriously nice machines there. Interesting, I never noticed before that the Volvo emblem is a "male" symbol. Also interesting is that Volvo only went to cab over in mid-late 60's, before that the trucks were kinda US style.

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