For making the truck model a VK Modelle Scania LS110/111 model was used, of which the chassis was lengthened and the cab was replaced by a scratchbuilt Be-Ge one.

 The model was equipped with a home-built auxiliary chassis that was cut and built from styrene sheet, just like the dump-container.

The hydraulic cylinders were made from brass tubing and two pieces of a chrome-plated old radio antenna. 

 The model was painted by hand and then provided with self-drawn inscriptions that were printed by Peelo Signs.

Structural work of the Scania-Vabis LS75 Super timber truck model. Starting point was a VK Modelle Scania LS110/111 model of which the cab was removed and replaced by a scratchbuilt Be-Ge cab.

 The superstructure is consisting of soldered brass profiles.
After a thin layer of primer the model was painted by hand and completed with a few printed inscriptions. At the end it was sprayed with a thin layer of varnish as protection.

Then a load of tree trunks was made from dried twigs of Hibiscus syriacus, which were slightly weathered.

At the end the model was completed with chains (produced by Weinert) for securing the load.

For the model of the Scania-Vabis L76 Super a chassis and an engine hood of an Epoche-model was used as a basis.

The Be-Ge cab was scracthbuilt from styrene plate, as well as the containers of the truck and trailer.

The Epoche trailer chassis was lengthened at both the front and rear sides.

The model was painted by hand. After fixing the decals with the inscriptions the model was provided with a sealing layer of varnish.

An Epoche Scania LS110/111 model served as the basis for the here shown model. The cab was removed....

... and replaced by a scratchbuilt Be-Ge cab. The container and the trailer have been built from "scratch" as well.

For the tipper a help chassis was soldered from brass, just like some other parts that needed to be firm. 

The ladder and roof rack were soldered from 0,3 mm new silver wire.

The finished model in a striking colour scheme.

The inscriptions for the model were designed with the help of CorelDraw and were printed on decal paper.

After applying the inscriptions the model has been provided with a protecting varnish layer.

The model has been composed from a VK-Modelle Scania-Vabis LB76 tractor and a Epoche/VK-Modelle Scania-Vabis LS110 chassis.

The container was cut from Evergreen styrene plate; partly with V-groove.

The finished model of the LBS76 Super. The tilts consist of Epoche/VK-Modelle ones, which were lengthened a bit.

The trailer has a Epoche chassis. The container was built by "scratch", just like the truck's one.

After primering the model was painted by hand.

The inscriptions of the model were designed by using CorelDraw. The white ones were printed by Modeltruck Friesland.

Because the model is intended as a moving vehicle at a model railway layout a Faller Car System chassis (nr. 161471) was bought and a Modellbau Schwarz/VK-Modelle LB76-cab was used. The container is a reconstructed Herpa one.

The model was painted by hand. The inscriptions were self-designed, but printed by Modeltruck Friesland. The (removable) load is consisting of treated sesame seeds.

As a basis for this model an Epoche/VK-Modelle Scania LS110/111 was used.

The cab was replaced by a scratch-built Be-Ge cab and the model became a working steering axle.

The tipper was cut from styrene plate, the lifting cylinder was made of molding beams with different sizes.

A view from the bottom at the axle construction. The beam on the left is meant for testing, but here it shows the later position of the tank as well.

The parts for the tank. This tank was made from a piece of styrene tube (from the crafting box) while the front and backsides were cut from some layers of styrene plate that were sandpapered into the right form.

The model is ready for painting. The wheels of the semi are temporary ones.

A view at the backside of the semi. The ladders were soldered from 0,3 mm newsilver wire.

Here you can see the maximum turn of the steering axle construction. The flights of steps were made by brass together with nylon grid. These steps were changed later.

The finished model. After painting the rings around the tank (aluminum tape) and the hand rails (newsilver wire) were added.

The inscriptions were self-designed but the white ones were printed by Modeltruck Friesland

The turn of the semi's axle construction is visible very well here.

The filghts of steps at the top of the tank were replaced by new ones that have been soldered from brass profiles and flat pieces of stainless steel sieve.

Thanks to the steering axles this angle is no problem for the tanker...

...but will the bridge be resistant to the weight of this heavy truck...?

As examples for the models as shown beneath serve...

...this DAF A1600...

...and this DAF DO2000 of Holwerda - Zonen in Dokkum (NL).

The model of the DAF A1600 is a nearly unchanged Artitec model.

The trailer consists of an Artitec container with a reconstructed Herpa chassis.

The DAF DO2000 is a reconstructed Brekina model of which the lower grille has been  pulled straight and of which the cab has been lenghtened into a sleeper cab. The semi-trailer was scratch-built.

The models have been painted by hand and the inscriptions were produced by Modeltruck Friesland.

For this model an Artitec DAF-model formed the basis (see inset). The chassis was lengthened and a tandem axle was added.

A pair of Cooper Craft kits were used for the milk-tank, because the tanks from these kits had de right form and diameter. The cradle construction and the platforms were cut from styrene plate.

After painting and adding the selfmade inscriptions a thin layer of semi-gloss varnish was added.

This is no clandestine advertising anymore...
More of the DAF 2600 cheese truck you will find below.

In the background there is another example of a Frico outfit.

Starting point for this model was one of the Scanias in the Swedish movie 'Midvinterduell' by Lars Molin from 1983.

This Scania was equipped both with a tapering front-plow and a side-plow.

An Epoche tractor chassis and a Brekina day cab formed the basis for this model.

At the bottomside of the chassis  a fastening for the  help frame of the snowplow was made.

The help frame and the front-plow were made from brass profile and plate...

...which were soldered carefully. 

The front-plow has been added. The higher placed front lights have been made of styrene waste material.

The Brekina day cab was completed with a new grille and other details. The tipper, being under construction here, has been cut from  styrene plate.

The painted (with spraying cans) model that strikes because of its yellow colour.

Both snowplows have been added.

The fastening of the side-plow at the back is done by means of a lower placed trailer coupling.

By lifting the container the fastening of the side-plow is easily visible.

Let winter come...

Putting in winter service.

The model has been weathered and was placed in a winter atmosphere.

On the left a Brekina model and on the right a scratch built model. The differences in (the position of) the grilles are evident.

The space for the grille of the Brekina model was supplied with filling pieces, while the flanks at the frontside were sanded to a better angle.

The grille was constructed from thin layers of styrene. Even the DAF symbols were cut from styrene plate.

The window screens at the backside were filled up as well with pieces of styrene plate.

The adjusted DAF model with the new grille.

In order to compare: on the left a original Brekina model and on the right the adjusted model.

Also the angle of the lower front was changed.

A fitting semi-trailer had to be scratch-built from styrene plate.

For the cab the Brekina Scania L110/111-model was used. This cab received a new (short) nose, that was built from styrene plate, ...

...just like the mudguards. For the fastening of the cab two pieces from the donor model's bottomplate were cut.

The chassis was scratchbuilt as well. The wheels come from an Epoche Scania-model.
 

From thin styrene plate the strips for the grille were cut, while the fog lights were made from a plastic kit-mould.

 The fastening of the spare wheel was made from 0.3 mm phosphorbronze whire, just like the bumper sticks.

The typical Swedish container could be made only by scratch.

The Brekina tilt was used, but it was supplied with an overlap at the outside.

The model was completed with a roof rack, ladder and mirrors (from 0.3 mm newsilver wire).

Some foldings in the tilt were made by adding a tissue, after which it was painted.

Just for the picture:
the model put in front of an Epoche trailer.

An illuminated sign (from an Epoche model) at the roof completes this model.

Photos: Gerrit Monsma.

A cab of a M.B.N. truck-model produced by Epoche was used for modelling the tractor.

An Epoche tractor chassis was used, of which the tandem axle was removed. Some details were added to the cab.

For the semi-trailer a standard Herpa chassis and container were used.

Some alterations of the semi-trailer.

The models:
the Scania R 500 is an unchanged Herpa model while the R500 Highline comes from AWM.

The models have been airbrushed partly (silver) and brushed partly (blue).

The inschriptions of these tractors were made by computer and using decal paper.

The semi-trailer is a Herpa model, the decals with inscriptions were produced by Modeltruck Friesland.

The model consists of a Herpa Scania LBS141 of which the chassis has been shortened.

The truck´s container and trailer are handmade ...

... from Evergreen polystyrene plate and some Herpa parts.

The inscriptions are home made by using Testors decal paper.

The example: one of the here shown Volvo F88s of De Bruin hauling company in Surhuisterveen (NL).

For the inscriptions at the tilts this Volvo F89 van De Bruin was taken as an example.
