OO scale lorries

[cut 'n' paste]

I've been building articulated lorries in 1-100th scale for a long time, but I've been rescaling and repainting some of these (well... about 85, actually) for OO scale (1/76th). Here's a drawing of a recent one, which I have uploaded to the downloads section.



It's a Mercedes Benz Actros 1841 with a Scwartzmuller trailer, all in a nice red "Miele" livery. The tractor unit is adapted from an original by "Kopibox", with additional parts of my own, and the trailer is a rescaled repaint of one by ZMK models.
Needless to say, I have obtained permission from ZMK and from Minimodels to do this.

I hope others will enjoy building this, and if there is a call for them, I can upload other similar models.

Note: it can be printed at 87% for HO scale if you like.

I, for one, would love to see you upload more models similar to this one. You do good work and I enjoy it.

I would love to see more! I didn't put 2 and 2 together about your connection with MRS until now, ha ha. I still love the liittle ice cream trailer!

Tractor unit rescaled and repainted version of ZMK's 1-100th model. (With permission). Krone trailer with refrigeration unit. Photos of ZMK's model annotated and labelled to aid construction. If anyone needs more detailed help with the wheels, for example, please PM me.

Is it foolish of me to ask for more pictures of these 00 builds?
The last picture you posted looks like a die-cast model. Do you make use of filler and things?
They look sooo good man, wow.

Oh, sorry about the confusion. There aren't any pictures of these models built yet, though I've posted them because I know the construction is okay since I have built several like this in 1/100th scale before. Tomorrow, I can post some photos of the MB Actros 2544 lorries that I built a little while ago, or you can see them here : Mercedes Benz Actros 2544 (Assorted Liveries) - OO /4mm/1:76 | Model Railway Scenery

Here are photos of one of my other rescaled lorries. This is a Mercedes-Benz Actros 2544 which I designed using construction methods that I learned by building 1-100th scale lorries such as those of ZMK, Kopibox and others. This model is not just a repaint of someone else's model, I must point out. That's why it isn't a free one - you can buy it from Model Railway Scenery - only £2 (2.50 US dollars). There are complete photo instructions showing the construction too.

Just uploaded:
A MAN TGA 26-440 6x2 tractor unit in the livery of Roadtrain.ie.



This is in OO scale but can be printed at 87% for HO.

Also uploaded separately is a Schmitz curtain sided trailer in the same livery, (Actually, I've had to guess at the make of trailer that Roadtrain use, but from the photos I've seen, they certainly look like Schmitz.)

Incidentally, the wheels for these lorries are quite complex, given they are only 10mm diameter. So if you have difficulty with them, see the full photo instructions that I have uploaded separately.
