OK. Started another project while I waited for some items to continue my 'Moving House' project, which has been on hold for some time. I hope to get the items soon. This project, like all my other projects, had to be different.

This one I call - Smashed! I looked at many pics of different truck crashes and went on from there. Enjoy the photos.

Hi Charles

Great piece of work. Looks so right and not overdone in the slightest. Just one of those ooops moments, maybe left hand drive traveling in Britain and meeting an oncoming truck to get a glancing blow.

Hope his Tacos are clean and there were no cans of beer in the footwell. Lots of explaining to the boss when he gets home.

Love it

Nige

Thanks. I do not really like these Renault designs. My Brand is Scania. I just had two of these Renault trucks in my stash which I thought I'll do something different with them as I am new to truck building, I would not blow my head of in case I messed up

Yeah, I kind of figured that one!

I hope to see more of your work here! When we're talking semi truck models - it's all good...maybe some more than others.

Nice work as usual Charles! I love to se models in a not showroom condition. Very realistic diesel stains on the model!

Thanks. I think this was just an unfortunate accident that he seemed to walk away from without any major trama.
