BTW: The blue film you see inside is protective film for the "glass".
The roof is transparent and the interior is just very basic and removable as it was agreed before the build was started last August.

If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Cheers

Wow,looks incredible.I thought it was a real truck parked up at first glance and second and third!! Really nice work.

Wow, it looks real. Stunning work.

Yes, clearly this looks more like an actual truck then a model. Very nice and clean work you did, which was very apparant in your wip. Beautifully done.

Looks so real, i gotta say you did a great job with the photography. Very realistic, background is so spot on! The build came out vey clean and realistic also. Top notch work.

WoWOWOWOWOWOWO! Teriffic!

Hot damn! I thought that first picture was a reference pic! Outstanding work and the photography is first rate. That low camera angle really increases the realism.

Hi Sebastian,

it is both convincing, the model and the photos, fantastic job.

I just hope that "Unicat" is that good when producing the 1:1 truck

Seb - I can't believe my eyes!! :eek2:

Somehow I missed the WIP so this came as a complete surprise.

Your build is so clean and your creative photo session so convincing that I REALLY was going through your photos waiting to reach the model and thinking to myself "Sh*t!, why is Seb putting in so many reference shots in a completed thread?!?!"

Then I hit the end of the thread and then realised that I HAD been looking at the model!! BRAVO!

i'm speechlessrunaround. Just...incredible! Awesome photography too...the model looks insanely REAL!

Amazing works, great pics too.

The reference thing has been issued a lot in your replies. And these guys are right. Great work as well as great photography to enhance the realism of your project. Congratulations. This is the first completed truck I look at, makes me wanna see more of these on the forum. What´s next?

Wow! Hot dog!

This stuff looks amazing! I wasn't expecting anything less then amazing seeing your build diary!

Now finally i can get my mind around the fact that it's a truck for a dude traveling alone with all he needs.
Terrific scratching and very nice creative thinking.

One thing I wanted to ask tho... why is there a 70 AND an 80 at the back of the truck? You know... it's not like you can add those two together and have a max speed of 150 eh...


oli

Wow, that's incredible! :sunglasse

Very nice work, I'd love to be able to have a vehicle like that to travel around in at my leisure :sunglasse

Turned out incredibly Sebastian!!! Really a great build for us all to look upon. Now, cast it up and sell it!!! LOL

Very cool! Great finish to a very fun to watch WIP. I love the detailing to the truck - those lights on the front are just stunning. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you guys!!!

Reading the replies makes me forget the hard(er) times during the build.

Cheers

Great build, and great pics as well! I thought it was the 1/1 :-)

Seb, I'm sory, I lost it! I guess I was in holidays?

Incredible stuff you done. Very nice.

:worshippy :worshippy :worshippy :worshippy :worshippy ...

GREAT work!!!!!

Extraordinary, I really thought first few were reference photos of real thing.

Excellent! And the photograpy also!
