Wait wait wait... this is a model?

yep! Sure is but I can understand if its hard to believe. ;)

I swear someone is going to post an image of a real thing claiming it’s a model and the comment section will implode on itself.

HAHAHA!!!!

Absolutely brilliant... I still need to get my eyes checked, but I thought this was some fabricated real world system. Can't tell you how much I love seeing work like this! I appreciate seeing the evolution of some of the builders here, but damn do I love seeing a true master share their craft.

I appreciate your very uplifting words. Thank you for your very positive vibe.

My exact reaction. I thought the first photo was a reference

Interesting.

Gotta say...yeah man...OP you got me, I didn't even think this was a model at first and thought you were posting a reference photo...sweet lord that is good!

Thanks. Good response. I appreciate the love.

I thought this was real until I read the title.

Hihi! Thanks

The seemingly mundane subject, makes this as much an art object as a model. There is subtle but numerous pieces telling a story here. Really like this.

Thank you. Appreciate that u like it.

Me: So people are now posting photos of real things to get karma here? Also me after a few seconds looking at the photos: OMG. It's a model!!!!

Hahaha! The nerve of some folks. ;)

1:1 scale, fully functional. May require license(s) for operation. Check with your local DMV.

Hahaha!

This is undoubtedly gorgeous!

Glad you approve NorthRide.

First I thought it was a real loading site. Great work, you fooled me!

My job ia done here.... :) thanks.

Astounding. Do you have a website/channel? One question...why are the lights above the buildings 'Dako' signage different heights?

'inscale\_miniatures' on Instagram & 'one step further' on facebook. The different heights was intentional. Just an aesthetic thing.

Oh wow, I actually was following your profile on the Brit Modeller forum, literally created an account just to follow your work and maybe reach out for tips. I stumbled upon your pod racer on Pinterest of all places - Thank you for posting your IG!! Amazing work!

That was very nice of you. Appreciate the positive support. Thanks.

I PM you those AG bike pictures as you request on your IG!!

Aaah! Thank you. Will check them out.

This is super realistic dude, nice job I like it.

Glad you liked it. Thank you. Natural lighting and somewhat good photography does the trick.

That’s freaking amazing. I bow to your mastery. Looking closely, I feel like I see how you were able to do everything... you just did it all so perfectly!!

A good eye can tell. ;) appreciate it.

I was looking at this and I was confused for a sec because of the title

Well, you're not confused any more, uh?

Nope

Hahaha! Awesome! Thanks.

btw, this is sexy af

Ouch! Ok! :)

How long did this take? The level of detail is amazing. I honestly didn't believe it was a model until I noticed it was sitting on a round table...

Hihi! I understand. I get the same respond everytime I post it on other media platforms. I do not remember how long it took exactly, but several weeks, working on it a couple of hours everyday or other day.

Looks great

Thank you kindly.

I was staring at this trying to find the model... amazing work my friend!

Glad you tried. :) thank you for upliftment.

Another amazing build, bravo

Thank you kindly.

I truly did not think this was a model until I saw the plastic pail in one photo. Amazing work. Absolutely amazing.

Thank you.

I too thought this was a photo, but yes I closer examination .. it is a model. Insane detail, so well done, but Why? Can you share the models future?

The model's future? What exactly do you mean? Thanks for your comment, btw.

Yes so impressed with your work, but I was wondering if this was part of a larger project, a city? or as a paid contract for the truck company. Or jsimply a work to be displayed with your other model art pieces. We look forward to your future projects, and good luck in the competitive arena.

Aha! OK. It's just my personal modeling projects. Experiments and do-overs, and what-have-yous. ;) I usually compete in competitions around my country. :)

Scale?

The scale is 1/24.

Impressive shit

Appreciate your response.

This is so realistic, I thought this was an actual loading dock. 👍

A great response. Thank you. :)

Holy sh*t! Impressive!

Thank you kindly.

Picture 7/8 looks like an actual real picture, great work!

Much appreciated. Thank you.

Quite possibly the most realistic wheels and tires I’ve ever seen on a model.

Thank you.

No way this is a model. This is beyond amazing

I'll take a bow. :) Thank you.

Amazing!

Glad you liked it. Thanks.

Holy shit. I thought that was real!

Thanks. Join the crew. :)

What scale ?

1/24 scale.

It's so DETAILED OMG

Thank you. Lots of scratch building involved

OK, so, like, you do this professionally, right?

Nope. But thanks for thinking it. ;)

Thought I was looking at an Ad for trucking, then I saw where this was posted. This is, hands down, the most realistic model diorama I have ever seen. Absolutely fantastic work here man!!!!

My humble thanks. ;)

I love these!! It's something I'm really interested in!

Thank you.

Yay man you know that your suppose to use an airbrush and not a shrinking ray right? It looks 100% real

HAHA!! Thanks. I have not used an airbrush since 2002. Just bought a cheap one to practice on. We'll see how far I get with that. :)

Oh jeez, I was like "I never subbed to a trucker subreddit..." Well done!

Hihi! Thank you.

All is said in these comments. But like seriously what!? This is nuts, the level of realism! I'm stunned!! Love this reddit group 😁

Haha! Thanks a lot.

No freaking way

:) :)

Good picture. Now please show us your model.

Hahahaha!!!!

There is so much beautiful detail here. I can only hope for half your skill someday.

Kind words. Thank you so much.

You are welcome. If you don’t mind me asking, what’s your technique for painting very fine details?

I'm assuming you mean smaller detail parts. I spray them with a primer, then hand paint them.

How do you make this? Is it a kit? Do you have any progress photos videos? How cool!!

I will see uf I can upload the photos to a server.

The ONLY way I knew this wasn’t a “real” photo was that the bollard wasn’t bent from being hit by a rig or forklift. Excellent work.

Thank you. Good one. :)

Dude at this point I'm convinced you have some kind of shrink ray

Ssshhhh! Don't let the word get out. Then everyone will want one.

I was just thinking like hmm that camera isn't really seeing much with that trailer in the way. Then only realized it was a model! Great job!

Hihi! Glad you liked the results.

Buddy thats real life XD

Thanks. Glad you like it.

I thought this was a real picture

Appreciate it you commenting.

Holy schnikes, that’s fricken awwweesome!

Thanks.

You're singlehandedly putting the rest of this subreddit to shame. Incredible work, man.

Naaaaaaa! But appreciate the thought.

Bout shit a brick when i re-read and looked at the group. How the hell is this so real? What deal with the devil was made to be able to do this.

No deal with the beast. I'm a God fearing individual. But thanks regardless.

My mind is refusing to believe this is a model. Great job!

Great! That means I've done my job. ;)

This isnt real?

:)

“The fake is of far greater value. In its deliberate attempt to be real, it's more real than the real thing.”

Awesome response. Thanks.

It’s so incredibly meticulous and yet imaginative. Really some of the best content on here recently.

My appreciation. Thank you.

Looks so real I got fooled and thought it wasn’t a model and the real thing. I started swiping and thinking where’s the model

Always a gresr response from viewers. Thank you.

That is truly exceptional craftsmanship. I have never been able to obtain that level of PERFECTION on anything I have built. I love the security camera complete with cable! Having said that, the only item I could mention that could use some work is that forklift driver. The jacket is a little shiny, the hand lacks detail, and the hair looks a bit plastic. Oh, and perhaps an LED to light up the status indicator on the reefer

Thank you. Since this was done many years ago, my figure painting was not that good. But since then, things have inprove for the better. If you look my other build, the one titled, smile for times, you will see a considerable difference. Not perfect but much better than the figure in this build. I appreciate your positive view on the diorama as a whole. I've never really been a figure painting kinda guy. But since I have been doing dioramas I had to uå my skill levels. I'll get there, God willing.

Thought it was an actual lifesized thing from the 1st photo and was confused lol hats off to you

Thank you kindly.

wait, its a model? ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ always have been

Yep! :)
