Renault Magnum - Smashed!!!!

This project, like all my other projects, had to be different. :) This one I call - Smashed! I looked at many pics of different truck crashes and went on from there. Enjoy the photos.

This is really a very good-looking model.

Otherwise I am not interested in Trucks, but this model surprises me.

Thanks Jenner. Thanks for looking regardless.

Very realistic damages, good job :thumbsup:

Thanks.

Wow, great kit sacrifice !! :biggrin: :thumbsup:

Wow, great kit sacrifice !! :biggrin: :thumbsup:

Thanks. I guess it was worth it. :)

Thanks. I guess it was worth it. :)


It is, especially once integrated to a diorama, it gives life to it !
I never dare to "sacrifice" a model, and honestly I'm wondering if it's not harder to willingly ruined a model than to build it flawless...
A perfect model is a perfect model, a diorama with such "existing" model is a kind of picture of a living thing caught in the image.
(I can't really explain it better in English and would for sure better find my words in french but this is the sens of what I mean)

Understood. :)

Thats some fantastic work, the small details make it so realistic

Thanks for looking and approving it. :)

This is a great model and dio. There are no specific instructions as to what any model should be built into on the instruction sheets. How many 1/72 scale model airplanes have been built and then set on fire by children. I think this dio and model give us a new context to appreciate auto modeling.
Bad things happen to good trucks, and good models likewise. How did the driver make out?

Thanks for your different point of view. The driver survived.

awesome build eally love the detail you put in to this

You must have had some good reference pictures because this looks completely real to me, from the cab sitting crooked and lopsided to the battle scars. But just as impressive, even without the amazingly realistic damage is the incredible attention to the chassis and other aspects of this truck. Even the fifth wheel has the gobs of grease it should have. The base is done just as well as the rest of your work. All in all, one of the best built models I have ever seen. Great job you did.

Fantastic work. Very, very nice!:licka:

Looks cool.

Building a "used car" might be a bigger challenge than build the model clean.

Just on thing: the parts of the front window appears a little bit thick, using thinner clear sheet could look better (with lots of cracks), even some additional pieces of broken glass on the dash.

Nevertheless: great model and base, crisp photos :cheers:

Simply Outstanding!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you. I've been told the same thing. Will make the changes later. Thank you for the tip. :) Thanks guys for your honest comments.

wow looking at all of your builds. bro you have skills. fantastic attention to detail.

Thanks. :wink: glad you appreciate the model. It was fun to build. I personally do not like the design so I wanted to make use of this kit without wselling it. I think I succeeded. :)

Very realistic damages..

That's what i like to say also

Thank you. It seems this build was a success. :) Thanks for the support gents.

Thanks a million. I just viewed many pictures on the net and tried to come as close to the real thing as possible.

Wow! This is superb!

Thanks Rob.

Awesome work, looks very realistic..!!!

That is pretty darn good looking wreck! Some amazing weathering techniques there - you should be proud. The model looks fantastic.

:iagree:

The build is impressive, i like the grease on the trailer hook up.

Thanks gents. :) Appreciate your comments.

I totally agree with quadzero.
Not only does the damage look very realistic, but also all the other elements, like fuel stains, the fifth wheel, buildup of dirt, etc. look totally convincing.

Very brave and very beautiful.

Thanks Axel for your comments.

I made this diorama for my 'Crash' Renault Magnum tracktor unit, before putting it up for sale. This is the result:

You work is mind boggling tiking! These are pure art!

This is really a very good-looking model.

x2!

Great execution!:smokin:

Much appreciated gents.

Speechless, purely awesome in every aspect of the build! 5 star for me!

Thanks for the 5stars.

Incredibly realistic!

Speechless...this is an amazing recreation of an accident.

Thanks for looking Jackson. Now, I just need to find a buyer to take it of my hands. Need the space for another upcoming build.
