Re: Scania 141 scale 1/14

So realistic! Weathering, details, and background make it hard to tell it's not a 1:1. Super job.

Interesting build. Looks like your stretch work is going well and is matching original quite well.

Re: Volvo F88 concrete mixer

That's a very good build - smooth and interesting. Is the rear lift axle common in Norway on a 3 axle truck? Don't think I've seen that configuration before.
Excellent!

Re: Lindeberg R/C Quarry

I always enjoy your videos, especially the fact that you go to work with your machines even when the weather or dirt conditions are not "perfect".
