Evenings!

Today i want to show one of my newer Hungarocamion trucks. This a Renault Magnum with 385 hp straight six engine, and lots of changing on it.
Some picture



















I have an Italeri canvas without the trailer's other parts. So I had to build the others myself. The trailer's chassis worked out of 1mm styrene.

The ends of the canvas had missed, but I had build that as well.
Front

End






Disc brakes

Axles




Finished



Together with the truck




Cheers!

This is a very impressive job, both the truck and the trailer. i can even recognise some tricks I used on my Magnum. Great combination!

NZ JAMIE mate, the hoses is from Plastruct hexatubes, drilled trough in the center of it. The wires what I use are from unused frame's, I hold it into fire than draw it till I get the right thickness. I hope you understand, I'm sorry but my English isn't the best.

Gergo
The way of making wires you describe is called 'stretched sprue'. Sprue is the word for the frames.

Hope this helps with your English, which is pretty good anyway!

I've never been a fan of this truck but the detail you have put into it is just amazing. Well done. You've put a whole new life into this truck.
