Scratchbuilt truck models

[vanhattem]

Hello, let me introduce myself: My name is Zeger van Hattem and I'm from Tiel, which is a small city in the Netherlands. I build mostly dumptrucks and construction vehicles.

I'd like to show you a few models which I've built for the last couple of years. It's all scratch building

First of each model a some progress pics and finally a few of the model when it's finished.

The first one is a classic 6x6 DAF AZ1900





























Then a Terberg FM3000 10x8









































A classic Tatra T138 6x6

































A Ginaf X5450S 10x8





















































To be continued...................

Zeger,
These are fantastic builds. The detail is beyond belief and craftmanship is super. Its hard to believe the one rig is a model and not a 1:1!! Just magnificent builds.

Nice to see you're models on this forum Zeger. I have seen them more than ones "In real" on model events in Holland and Belgium.
They are really fantastic!!

Thank you for all your kind replies, I appreciate that.

Oh and Charles ................ I would like to have your weathering skills.

Here again a few models that I want to show you. First a classic Ginaf 8x8 tipper



































Then a GMC CCKW 6x6. This was a military kit from Wespe models, which I have made into a civil dumptruck​​. This was also my first attempt to weathering.

































And here a scratch build Nooteboom 78-04 low loader.















































And the last one for now, especially for Gator , the Volvo EC 460 C excavator.

Absolutely incredible !!!! The Ginaf 8x8 has been on my list to build for a long time, and that model is stunning.

The Volvo excavator is amazing, mind blowing detail.

you have our attention, with the level of your builds.
