Space Garbage Truck 1/48 Scratchbuilt

[elend]

Hey mates!

Here's my entry for the SMA modeling contest! Wait... what? It's over? I missed the deadline? By about 5 months? Oh noes! ;D

Well, that Space Garbage Truck was originally my entry for the "Garbage" category of the SMA contest, but I missed the deadline. Yet I wanted to finish it. Took me a couple of months to actually get around to it. Everything is build from scratch, but the pilots, which I bought on ebay. The first idea was to suck some pile of crap on a random moon or asteroid into the truck, but now it's something like a sewer cleaning vehicle. Whatever. 8) The outside guy is actually not drunk, but trying to command the hose into the right place. Or maybe both? Who knows.





More pictures and especially pictures of the build process can be found here: http://www.andersdenkend.com/zwischenraum/Modellbau/Garbage_Truck/

P.S.: Sorry for not posting much anymore, but I am kinda lost in the forum system. It's very confusing for me. ???
