Weathered Freightliner Truck scale  

Learned more about weathering in 30 mins than I learned in 40 years of modelling - brilliant work as always - looking forward to the finished Dio

My wife asked me once, why I like so much making post-apocalyptic stuff. then I show her a couple of your works and she understands everything.😁

Another fantastic build, it looks like it's just done 500 miles across the Australian outback, keep up the great work

Can't wait to see the world this lives in. Great job.

Wow, that’s some next level work. I love people that do models and make them look like new but this weathering detail is where it’s at, for sure 🤙

Beautiful!!!... A little dirtier than the one I drove, but just beautiful... Ummm... You forgot the Pig Tail though. Gotta have power to the trailer. Again Beautiful!! Takes me back. Thank you for this video!

Wear and tear, scale, weathering, detail - you master them all so skilfully.

Oct. 2, 2022----I've always liked whatever your build, though I'm not only jealous but VERY jealous in you not only knowing cad, but a laser printer too?! Bought 2 3D resin printers last year, but then found out I had covid in January and in May, it was influenza A. And trying to learn cad has kicked my behind. Decided to go for it when I saw a motorscooter printed via resin printer and have about -5K worth of files that I plan on using in my 1/35 scale zombie/apocalypse dioramas. Drove truck for 15 years, day cabs and sleepers, though I've never driven a Freightliner with the sleeping compartment as a seperate unit. There is a trucking company that uses nothing but them in Sparks, Nevada. Glad to see you put/painted both airlines but couldn't tell if there were glad hands on the ends of 'em. They're what makes the trailer brakes work. BUT you forget the light cord which is usually painted green and has a plug on it and it's how it's connected to the trailer. No light cords, no running/brake/turn signal lights on the trailer. I've also NEVER seen a chain rank like you did. Not to say that someone out there isn't doesn't have such a setup like yours. My chains would be under the bed, accessing them thru both side boxes, that panel above your chains. Then there's trucks with chain racks welded to the frame area in front of the front drive tires and they will hold 4 chains each. And believe me, they get dirty, covered in snow/mud/dirt and of course get rusty. And in America, there's 2 standards for chaining up: minimum and maximum. Minium is 1 set of chains on 1 set of the outside tires, while the trailer also gets 1 set on 1 set of its outside tires. Maximum is having chains on ALL your trucks tires and again only 1 set on the trailer. One thing I've NEVER seen anyone do is having chains on a truck model. There's also chains called 3 railers which will fit over 2 tires at the same time. Used to take me 30 minutes doing minimum chain up, 45-50 minutes for max. It was also easier chaining up the trailer, then disconnect the truck from the trailer for more room in chaining up. Thanks again for another great video and yes, I have several 1/32 scale trucks and trailers that I'll be building for my dioramas. I also got a couple of Italeri Land Rover kits and their jeep/trailer and trailer sets. Plan on using the trailers to be hooked to the Land Rovers.

Наверное лучшее,что я видел за все время,по всех просторах интернета

Ich habe mir dieses Video etwa 10 mal angesehen-und werde es mir noch öfter ansehen.Diese Techniken und Vorgehensweise-einfach genial.

This is amazing to watch and it looks amazing, from a long time truck model builder since I was about 10 years old. From a 23 year veteran truck driver who worked very hard at keeping my work environment clean, I had so much cringe from the filth!

Okay that little hack saw trick with the wire blew me away! Awesome build!

That's amazing fantastic. I like trucks, I have seen many trucks on the road. My little model collection.

un p'tit chef d'œuvre comme d'hab.... bravo l'artiste👍

Something i could never do or create ,But wow great work of Art creating something beautiful ❤️

هنر که فقط نقاشی کشیدن و مجسمه ساختن نیست.هنر یعنی این.دمت گرم واقعا استادی. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏

I was building these plastic model kits since i was a kid, - like 30+ years ago. once i started to see such vids like this, and a level of skills these guys have Im like, ill never tuch such a kit again. Im just screwing up something someone would build like this. This truck look amazing, Im like staring at it and cant stop. How the hell do you find out how to work with paint like that? who teaches something like that.

Wow! You really gave this beautiful model some serious personality.

Very cool truck! I think this is the beginning of a future diorama! I look forward to continuing!

Every model and diorama is of the highest quality and details are so precise

The weathering technique you use is something I’d never even thought of using until I started watching your channel. Thank you, you are a master at this and look forward to seeing the finished diorama.

Outstanding workmanship! The details you put into each project is amazing! Thank you, Thomas!

As someone who loves rough old trucks, this one is absolutely incredible! 👍🏻 I drive a rough old truck myself, they grow a personality over time. Beautiful work! Excellent!

Wow... that is one of the best models I have ever seen. The weathering makes it great!

Автор просто мастер наложения временного отпечатка...здорово! Правда это грузовик с джанкярда..представить данную технику на дорогах америки практически невозможно..))

So much more fun, and more creative than just assembling it from the box.

You are a very good videographer.💯❤

Such craftsmanship. Amazing work.

The best 30mins I’ve spent in a very long time you’ve turned out a stunning work weary truck

Absolutely stunning, love the weathering looks like it's been down the Dalton Highway a few times,looking forward to the diorama.

This guy is a creative genius. Amazing work , so much ideas now

Quite simply, an excellent piece of artwork.

Ich habe gerade so viel gelernt, danke für das Video!!

You are my favorite model weatherer on RU-vid!

You done a killer job on this truck. I love everything you done to it. Very realistic

Fantastic work and fascinating to watch! Really enjoyed this. 🤩

Outstanding work!! Can't wait to see the diorama you have in mind for it.

Another spectacular build Thomas I can watch you weather a build all day thanks for sharing my friend.

Une pure merveille ! Wunderbar ! Wonderful ! Just a very small remark: I would have armoured the towing harness with dripping grease.

Wunderbar!!!! Excellent building techniques! Great video! Thanks for sharing!

You are an artist.

Stunning!!! Absolutely beautiful!

Fantastic modelling and weathering off the charts. I am so chicken to leave washes on for very long and often wipe off way too early. I like the fine sanding sponge idea to expose a bit of the primer and ‘age’ the piece. I Tend to do more subassemblies than you, like would have assembled painted up the engine block and heads first and then installed, detailed and weathered…but you sure know what you are doing so I will shut my mouth😉😊 I have the Mac Rubber Duck truck to build in the future and will do her dirty like this I think🤔

INCREDIBLE JOB. Excellent video!

VERY impressive. Your attention to detail is amazing, with such a beautiful result. Many thanks for sharing this fine example of your craft.

Great and instructive video. Good looking. Thanks.

I built this last year,but built it clean.Definitely do the next truck weathered

Thanks for sharing Thomas, I really enjoyed this one!

Absolutely fantastic job.

Great job, congratulations, love the weathering👍

I learn so much from just watching laser creation when it comes to ideas and weathering up models. It takes some skill to make a junker look realistic with a good detailed patina. Love this truck, I have a Revell 1/25 Peterbilt that would be perfect for this.

Incredible build, wow.

Nothing like starting my day off with one of your dioramas. Amazing as usual 👍👏👏

Really great modeler! Awesome techniques!

All is can say is WUNDERBAR!!!

This has got to be 6-7 times of watching this same video. It’s too good not to. 👍

Champion! Undefeated!

Thank you for the make it. I like dirty truck!

Great video, the final look of the truck is awesome!!!

I drove a rig in the 80's, 90's, 2000's, long haul, local, delivered everything from ammunition to makeup, my best route was car parts out of Boston area up to New Hampshire, Vermont, upstate New York, through the mountains in the different seasons, beautiful views, foliage, mountain snow melt runoffs, many miles gone by, now I'm and old man trying to keep ahead of father time. Thanks for video of a conventional cab, maybe do a cabover if you get a chance. 🙏

Another Masterpiece. Just Perfect! Thanks

Incredible! Looks so amazing!

a joy to watch as always

Nicely done! The weathering is phenomenal!

Two thumbs up! Great video. Thanks!

Great build! Thanks for sharing your work.

Absolute Spitzenklasse. Bin gespannt wie es weiter geht. LG Stephan

Amazing job my friend congratulations

Gott schütze deine Hände 🙏🏽

Awesome effects on this "Road Warrior"! I built a semi and decided to weather it much like you did. I must admit that there is more to it than just slapping on a wash here and there. You did a fantastic job on this model. BRAVO!

Excellent one very nice build. And paint.

Einfach nur woooo. Bin aufs Dio gespannt

Beautiful piece of art work 👍

MORSCHEN 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 Super spitze perfekt

This guys skill is simply amazing! Has to be the best modeler that is on RU-vid! Perfection Absolute!

Very clever. Excellent model.

Guten Abend. Der Truck sieht spitze aus Das Diorama mit dem Jagdtiger war Hammer. Wieder mit einer Geschichte die zum Nachdenken anregt und mich doch irgendwie berührt. Wie das eine mit den Brüdern.. Auf der einen Seite sitzen die auf der Bank und auf der anderen Seite das ganze Grauen des Krieges. Das müssen doch richtig furchtbare Zeiten gewesen sein. Was meine Großeltern erzählt haben. Verzeihung Ich schweife ab🙄 Also das Diorama sehr schön und der Truck gefällt mir sehr. Schönen Abend wünsche ich Gruß Christian

Bonjour, Magnifique ce camion👍. Pour avoir conduit des camions je trouve que vous avez placé les salissures à merveille. La sellette est très bien représentée ainsi que les tuyaux d’air rouge et bleu. La poussière,la saleté,l’usure, C’est super bien réalisé 👍. Les pneus sont vraiment réalistes. Bravo à vous 😊😉👍. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic work, really enjoyed watching that👍

This has entered the realm of insanity-!! EPIC.

Класс! Отличная работа!
