Re: Scania W.A. Prime Mover 1/14.5
 

Holy crap that is awesome work. Very good looking truck. I can't wait to see more.

Re: Scania W.A. Prime Mover 1/14.5
 

This is a beautiful looking Scania! I really like your eye for detail and the custom parts you made for it. This is what a Wedico should be. Seeing your truck completed, and how great it turned out, I can say the three years of building is well worth the effort and wait. I've been building my own Wedico, on and off, for 4 years, so now I don't feel so bad about it taking a long time!

Looking forward to seeing more photos!

Re: Scania W.A. Prime Mover 1/14.5
 

That is a great looking truck. Kind of makes me want to get a Scania.

Re: Scania W.A. Prime Mover 1/14.5
 

Thank You for the compliments

i had few interruptions between the Construction stages . sometimes I built a little bit the Trailers ;) .

Re: Scania W.A. Prime Mover 1/14.5
 

There is really big differance with the standart kit and your truck. It is really lovely scania !

Re: Scania W.A. Prime Mover 1/14.5
 

Thanks

In this Part i show you some modification about the Cab. First i made a Alu plate for reinforcement the Cab, of course also for the new Cab look. The Alu plate have the same high like the Original Cab.

http://img71.imageshack.us/img71/8619/1000ss8.jpg http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/8410/11og6.jpg

I modified also the Mudguard

http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/4742/41118.jpg

The Cab look i made in Brass and is functional.

I need a another Cockpit for down Under because of the right hand drive. My Dealer in Swtzerland show me a RHD Wedico Cockpit (i was surprised, but Wedico made this for the british market). But the problem was the same it was too flat. After this i made one in ABS it looks better than the Original Wedico but it was lot of work.

http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/9758/5873c.jpg

http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/9572/5883.jpg

I modified also the Mirrors, the Wedico's are not bad but a litttlebit square

http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/5870/58961d.jpg

http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/7558/59031.jpg

The mirror effect are from a ABS-Mirror plate that i find by a Dealer.

At the Next Part i show you som kinds of unforeseen ?

Re: Scania W.A. Prime Mover 1/14.5
 

WOW!!!:eek: Your attention for detailing is outstanding! Your functional cab lock is the best I have seen. Your RHD dash almost looks real! Can't wait to see what is next.

Re: Scania W.A. Prime Mover 1/14.5

great attention to the details

Re: Scania W.A. Prime Mover 1/14.5
 

Thank you

Since I paint defects on the cab was, I decided to paint this again. Before I started I have some details still better built than Wedico.

For example, the curve behind the door, which was previously too square.

A very detailed and scale- looking truck! Job well done on the lights.

Re: Scania W.A. Prime Mover 1/14.5
 

That truck is absolutely beautiful!!! Great job! I'd love to have it.

Re: Scania W.A. Prime Mover 1/14.5
 

That looks really good. Where can i get a bullbar for my 540-MAN? Or who can make me one?

Re: Scania W.A. Prime Mover 1/14.5
 

Thanks

In the last few months I was able to build the trailer on. I know my combination is not quite the provisions of Western Australia. Are AB-triple road train it but my model is converted to long, but I like this combination. Moreover, the model in the B-Double operation Parcour fit.

Re: Scania W.A. Prime Mover 1/14.5
 

Nice work Marcel, it is a great looking Scania and road train

Re: Scania W.A. Prime Mover 1/14.5
 

WOW, great job man...

Re: Scania W.A. Prime Mover 1/14.5
 

Very nice scania, I myself have one getting ready to get started on and I might make a b-train out of two tankers. Excellent eye for detail.

Big John

Re: Scania W.A. Prime Mover 1/14.5
 

thats a sweet build with the trailers. It has inspired Me to do more with my tamiya one and make it look more like the one I drive. Just with different colours and a road train build instead of a B double configuration.
