1⁄24Boom Haul

Comments
This is a Scania 142h tractor with trailer.
Try trailer is modified from an Italeri container kit.
The bed was scratchbuilt.
The tractor chassis was slightly stretched to accommodate the trailer. Some of the the extra details were modified from other kits and/or scratchbuilt.
The boom cradle was scratchbuilt from balsa wood. The boom itself, is actually a childs toy I dismantled and heavily modified with scratchbuilt parts.
I do not own an airbrush, so all my models are done with a spray can.

Charles,
Incredible work weathering. Love the drip areas and the ooze along the battery box. I agree: One of the most realistic looking models I have ever seen.

Yet another stunning build Charles, well done. Your eye for detail along with the level of ingenuity and creativity using various sources of materials really is excellent.
Cheers, D
