Picked these up last weekend thought they were rather good ?

They look very well done, are the jibs on the wrong models? The tanker is my favourite.

i saw these on ebay a week or ago , was it a guy from Poland , he had some very interesting models for sale but also some had very odd colour's

I got them from a friend but as you say i think they were the ones on ebay i also bought from my friend some s/f.
I do like modifid and repainted matchbox and display them as such

Nice models.
Like the Unimog very much.
I´d really like to see more of your modified models.

Will post some pics tomorrow

I don't think there's any unimog in that assembly of parts.

My apologies, I had not dealt with the oversize photo and only viewed the first two trucks on the left. I completly missed the Unimog. I too like the Unimog custom. My only issue is that the 13d wrecker boom is out of scale for the truck. That boom would be much smaller in the bed of the actual truck and the height of the Unimog's bed would make the set-up difficult to use (in the 1:1 world). It still looks cool.

What I thought you were commenting on is the 58c DAF girder truck which has been shortened (cut off right behind the first rear axle). The bed uprights were removed and (probably) styrene bed sides were added. The wrecker jib was also cut out of a 13d. Good use of parts and it does mimic the shape of a Unimog. Although, that style of wrecker boom is way out of scale for this size of truck and a boom from a 72c would be right for this rig. Regardless, very creative and nicely done.

Good use of decals on the 32c.

To Leonty24, if you reduce the size of your photo files they will display much better. An easier way is to use a cloud photo host like Photobucket (as one example) to host the pics you want to use on the forums.

Thanks for your comments Tinman yes parts may be inaccurate but they still make for a nice display.
I like good looking customs and re-paints and will do some my-self at some stage i have a few more
which i shall post pictures of
