Just one new picture... a Herpa Renault tractor with trailer, the trailer has a Wiking chassis and a Jouef body. All chrome on the tractor is Bare Metal Foil.

You're really quite adept at the BMF Eric. Nice combo too.

Very nice indeed. Love those old Renaults.
The only thing that disturbs me is the Wiking wheels on the trailer.

Skunk, there'll be about twenty trucks in total... Here is another one: Roco Volvo cab on a Herpa chassis, the container is Herpa too. Bull-bar and toplights are photo-etch from KTD. Oh, the white thing on the dashboard is a coffee machine by the way, here is a close-up: As always.... comments welcomed !

Very nice detailing. And with all that coffee, I'll bet that's one Dutchman that really is flying!

Eric, Your work and attention to detail is outstanding. Your trucks look like they mean business, and your Mayback 57 Landaulet is gorgeous. You must have genes from some of the Great Dutch Masters in you. Thank you for sharing.
Jerry
