Very nice conversion and scratch-building. The weathering is spot on! Excellent all-round job!

Hi Charles

Fantastic work! The weathering is incredible - I honestly thought the shot on the Frontpage was for a walkaround of a full-sized vehicle!

All the best

Another stunning project. The weathering and overall composition of the work here is excellent, and I can spend ages studying the images and picking up the little details that just add so much (like the bag of bread rolls on the seat).

Cheers, D

Charles,
Just another incredible build. As Rowan said, at 1st I also thought that you posted a picture of the real tire hauler to use for your inspiration. But I soon enough figured it out that it's another one of your super detailed truck models.
