Renault Magnum - Smashed!!!!

[tiking]

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.

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)

[tiking]

Understood.

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

[tiking]

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?

[tiking]

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

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.
