    Lee Drennen’s Italeri Mercedes Benz L 3000 German Truck

    Here’s one I’ve had for many years trying to break this Model building block and lack of mojo to build anything to do with Millitary Models or models in general I thought I would start fresh with this Model. No fancy trills mostly box stock and some light weathering add. Click image for larger version

    Hi Lee
    Looks a nice choice to kick start the mojo. Hopefully a straightforward build.

      Lee,
      Been there in that area of picking up a box with all the good intentions in the world, and ten boxes further down the raod still nothing on the bench. Go for it, even if it gets you building it does not have to be correct.
      Mike.

        Even a standard truck could look exceptional. Enjoy the build.

          Mike. Thanks I’m just going to build and have fun. I’ve tried going back to old builds I started but get to frustrated so I thought I would just start fresh

              Building a truck is very theraputic, or so I keep telling myself so go for it Lee.

                    Interested in how this goes - thinking of getting one myself - any idea of the overall size (w & l)? Just wondering how much space it'll take up on the dio I'm starting.

                          Piece 'O cake Lee, it's a truck. And at that scale it should almost fall together for you......I'll be watching this if you have room and a cuppa coffee. Rick H. :thumb2:

                              Go on Lee, start putting solvent to the plastic....when you make a bit of progress the mojo will look after itself.
