Why what you thinking ?

**wazzoo2000**

1:35 then lol

**lone dirty dog**

wazzoo2000 wrote:1:35 then lol

I think that depends on what you are considering on making and the overall look of said project, I have found 1/48 great for some stuff and 1/35 for others.

If you can at least give us a clue it might help

**Gitsplitta**

That's really cool wazoo... never seen anything quite like it.

**MrMerlin**

Wazzoo, you may want to spoiler that inspirational pic, as some people skip the writingz and just look at the images.... assuming you did it.....

I'm very much looking forward to seeing your version of it!

**TH3FALL3N**

That is so kewl.

**SelvaggioSaky**

I did one with the front of a 1/35 German Armored Car, I'm sure that You can do better!

P.S.: didn't want to show off, if You want I'll remove that pic from your thread

**wazzoo2000**

nah its good to see stuff think that m8, keep it on

**MrMerlin**

@Selvaggio: Really cool wagon, I'd love to see some paint on it!
Oh and if you're worried about posting your stuff in someone elses blog.... just spoiler it. As I said before, some people just scroll around and look at the pics.... assuming wazzoo did it....
But I guess most should recognize it as someone elses job, so you could just as well leave it.....

**Goresaw**

Trust me, you're is going to be better, both constructed and painted

**wazzoo2000**

just to let you all know, my wife has just had a baby boy called joey, born yesterday 7lb 5, hence why things are a little slow at the moment

**Viktor von Domm**

**SelvaggioSaky**

Congratulation for the new born!

**Matt.Kingsley**

Congrts, Waz

**bigfish**

congratulations

**wazzoo2000**

thanks guys for all your non Warhammer 40k kind words, baby Joey is doing mighty fine and will be building Ork models as soon as he can walk.

ok to add, i do do commission and i feel im quite cheap, i charge for all the matts use and at a rate of about £8 an hour.

so this (see the pic below)................................would cost £150 to £175 depending on what weapons you where asking for (thats Unpainted, just with a black undercoat on and postage not counted).

broken down on price....

Converting the Trukk
1. the Trukk model = £20
2. matts = £5
3. my time = £25
4. over sight = £5 (other matts and stuff)
toltal = £55
Scratch Building the Trailer
1. trukk model = £20
2. matts = £25
3. my time £40
4. over sight £10 (other matts and stuff)
total = £95

grand total of £150+, i feel this is right for a model that no one else will have, i will make it different from any others ive made in the past.

feel free to message me asking about any models and costing

**Gitsplitta**

That's really freaking amazing wazoo... just tremendous. Never seen anything like it.
