I love the weathering on this! Especially the flaky mud on the tires - how did you manage that? Overall it looks great and I can't wait to see it with the trailer.
Regards,
Brett

The method was easy. I used a Humbrol spray earth or dark earth (dont remember) and just sprayed it on. I do not own an Air Brush. Then I just leave it on till it dries. Paint does not stick to rubber very well, so it will start to flake. Juat make sure it dries thoroughly. Then just twist or squeeze the tyre until small tiny cracks start to form. Then when u are happy with the result, just throw on aon real dust. I use real dust. I collected dried mud from my near by farm and used it to weather my models. Nothing beats it. At least I think so.

Man this is cool!!!! How did you go about the rust on the body seams? Thanks. I used two different color browns applied using the 'sponge technique'. Then I went over the area with a very diluted light brown shade.

My aunt used to call my father boots when they were growing up. Somehow i adopted the nickname because everyone was named Charles in the family. Where do i source this traileg you asked? I just looked at many pics of the net that showed how concrete are transported. I then enlarge the construction to a design i like. So basically by i just imagine how i want the design and go from there.

Well, for this particular build I used the Scania 142H platform with tarp truck kit. I just built the truck without the platform and turned it into a tractor with some scratch building involved. The trailer was scratchbuilt. Since these pics were taken, I have since moved the electrical box to the front of the trailer. I also removed the support legs from the side and placed them under the front part of the trailer. EU regulations. I have also added other details and working on a load for the trailer. I will post pics when everything is done.

Hello tiking
I'm most definitely NOT a 'truck' man when it comes to the hobby but that has to be the best truck I've seen since I returned after a very long break.
The whole look and feel could be taken straight off almost any real life vehicle.
A simply stunning job and it's not even finished!
VERY well done!
Andrew

Thanks Leon. I used Citadel black spray can. Then used Tamiyas earth brown, I think its called that. Then i I used used two different dark brown Citadel colors by using the sponge method. Then, went over certain areas with Mig Rust powders. Then lastly, i sprayed everything with Vallejo spray Matt varnish.

Damn!
About half of those pictures could be very easily mistaken for a real vehicle. Careful it doesn't drive itself off your workbench in the middle of the night.
