Hello all,

In this topic I will show my progress on my Scania 140 Super, in Astran livery. I don’t know if you people know this English transport company, but it was the leader in road transport to far-away destinations, first the Middle East, later also Russia, Ukraine and the Balcan. I read a book about this company (now a few months ago) and last week I suddenly got the idea to build a truck from it. As said, it will be a Scania 140 Super. I already made the chassis, with a detailed V8 fake engine, one of the trademarks from Scania. The model is going to have HOG steering, (problably) an openable cab, and details like fuel tanks, roof rack, luggage, interior, etc. Now a few pics to show the original and what I have made so far. The chassis is finished, so now on to the cab, which probably will be the trickiest part. I know the chassis is a bit unconventional build, but I don’t wanna order any extra parts just for this model, that’s also why the middle of the bed is blue. Any feedback is welcome! Thanks for reading.

I’m not quite sure if this belongs in Technic or in Scale Modeling, but because this model isn’t a particular scale I think it fits best in Technic Forum. I think it fits best to the Model Team description, even if that isn’t really what this model is.

Nice choice! I’ll keep following your progress! 

It's a good watch. 

New day, new update!

I have loads of time, because it’s the summer holidays here, so I’m moving pretty fast now. Here are the updates:

I’ve reworked the chassis and added a front bumper I’m happy with. (maybe I’ll change the headlights, but for now it’s ok). I’ve also added the exhaust

 

The cabin is coming along well too. I’ve made the ex and interior, and the roof.

The exterior has the three windows in the rear of the cab, which is very recognisable for this type of Scania. I’ve also added the roof and the windshield, but not sure if the windshield is staying this way.

The interior is also finished. It has two beds, the lower one is ready for the driver to sleep in, and the upper one is filled with supplies. The interior is also fitted with curtains, and the gear stick.

Now moving to the front grille, already at attempt number 6, so this will take a while before I’m happy 

Looking forward to your feedback! Thanks for reading.
