http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/u...000_0001-3.jpg The trailer... http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/u...000_0002-3.jpg The trailer goddies. The tri-axle fenders i'm going to cut off some and mount them to the front of the trailer... http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/u...000_0003-3.jpg The truck goodies. The wide floats I decided not to use, you'll see why... http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/u...000_0004-2.jpg I decided to use these. The others, I will use on another project... http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/u...000_0007-1.jpg And the rest. http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/u...000_0008-1.jpg Thanx for looking, Big John |
Re: My new project...yes.
Big John, you sir are not messing around. :eek: :D When you get 'er going you'll have to take a break and rip a little Scania-Tanker-Truck solo with that Strat in the background. :p :cool:

Re: My new project...yes.
Man you bought all of the goodies to do this one up right. I can't wait to see how it turns out, good luck with your build.

Re: My new project...yes.
Joe, what can I say...I love ROCK BAND and GUITAR HERO games:D
And Travis, I figured if i'm going to start on this ride, I might as well have everything I need...But i'm sure i'll see something else I want for this. Thanx guy's... "LET's ROCK" Al Bundy Big John |
Re: My new project...yes.
Looks like a really good idea. I just have ordered a tanker for the Scania R470 for it. Cant wait just thinking to replace the chrome for a silver grey colour like I have seen on petrol tankers in New Zealand, as the Scania is metallic blue.

Re: My new project...yes.
That sounds like you have a great idea on the colors.
Mine is going to be dark metallic stone grey on the truck body, with medium metallic red frames on truck and trailer...maybe the grey on the tool boxes and support legs:) I may even go with a b-train two tankers. Tankers are my favorite:D Big John |
Re: My new project...yes.
sounds good, i enjoy the container trailer idea... just see them all day at work thats all. Maybe a later project as the model building is a distraction from work :)

Re: My new project...yes.
Yea I still might get the container trailer. I know some guy's aren't happy, but the more I look at it, I know I can americanize it:p:);)

Re: My new project...yes.
Here is a few pic's of what i've got done. I decided to go with metallic black body and grabber green truck and trailer frames. And the tranny/motor had to be "CAT" yellow...of corrse.

Re: My new project...yes.
Nice Work, Big John,
Coming along nicely, may I suggest a tripod for that camera....Lol!! Just Kidding, Mate!! :D:D Looking good!! Paul |
Re: My new project...yes.
Big John, great looking project. I'll be looking forward to seeing this as a completed project. I've been looking at the Scania for some time now, thinking I need one of these in my fleet too! Just one?
What was the source for the kit and accessories? More pictures, please. Jim |
Re: My new project...yes.
Awesome color choice John! Grabber green is one of those colors that looks good on anything.....seen it on 3/4 ton truck frames, engine blocks.....looks good no matter where it's applied!:D

The metallic black is fighting me. Some places are glossy, and some places are flat. I might change the color. :rolleyes: Big John |

If you're asking where I got the truck and accessories, I got the truck from Tower Hobbies, and the goodies from Ric Murphy at Precision Models. Any more questions, don't hesitate to ask. Big John |
