Ow, it's starting like to look like a truck alright! That engine looks nice as well. Yummie! (well, a Scania is even yummier, after all 'King of the Road' ey ) Keep it up Bootsey! Cheers |

Mackster and Woutster.........cheers dudes Mack...the pipes are done using a brass wash over the aluminium.....i build it up in thin layers so it sort of stains the ally colour, this will get cut back a little bit with the ally colour on the high points and bends etc  Wouts......yeah i`ve not done a Scania yet, mainly because they ain`t 6X4 kits..........just single rear axle kits, i find twin rears just look that bit more purposeful and beefier |
