Hi there, I want to show you one of my older builds.I made it for a ficitous company.I scratchbuild the hood and frontbumper,the liftaxle was taken from an Italeri Freightliner and added the mixer from an AMT Paystar.added some wires and weatherd the whole truck.The truck was build about 5 years ago.Some of you may know this one from other boards. Every comments are welcome. Thanks for looking, Cheers,Chris

Put this in a realistic background and it would look very real. Outstanding job on weathering and ageing of the truck, actualy looks like a, work horse, daily driven rig.

Twist, this is sharp! Definately a piece well suited for a diorama.

The photo that you sent me for the old Plastic Cowboy website had the mixer outdoors, it really looked real.

Hi Twist,
awesome built. That´s the right thing ! But one question: how do you enter the cabin from the right side? No step on the tank. If you´re go over the Battery-Box you can brake your legs...hehe.
Cheers Tom

Hi there, Tim,you´re correct,the old photos showing the mixer outside.Made some new pictures last year,but I still have the outside pictures. Tom,I haven´t thought about that all the time the Truck is standing on the shelf....but you´re right,there are no steps,maybe there is no way for passengers on the truck,lol. Thanks to all for the compliments.
Cheers,Chris

I like how the shutes look shiny from the product sliding down them, very realistic. Nice job.
