Sorry my friend I can't make another, the model itself wasn't just straight out of a box, the base of the model was the Autocar A64B Tractor unit which was extensively modified with the chassis being extended & the front being pushed forwards, altering all the suspension with 3D printed hawk & custom decals being made, Also the wheels & tyres are custom and not in the kit, rear mudguards - crash panels - boxes - front bullbar chains - sun visor - interior - airbox - exhaust stacks - rad grill plus many many more are all scratch made.

Many years ago I saw the Death Star set at Pinewood that they used to fil the fighters flying down the channel to drop the bomb - it was huge and the level of detail on it was immense.
A friend of my mum’s was a special effects cameraman. I got to see some Bond, Superman, StarWars and maybe Willow stuff.
He also took me to some of the model/props stuff - awesome

I make a lot of models in my work life.. so i can appreciate how long these things take.
It really has to be a labour of love, you can't make something of that quality on a commercial basis because the hours they take to construct renders them financially unviable, even if he was to work for minimum wage.. the amount of money he would have to charge could buy you a decent second hand family car.. and outside of the time lockdown afforded us, if he was to make it in his 'spare' time your son would have probably left home by the time it's completed.

hello, good day and thanks for the feedback. Yes, the time doesn't matter, it should be reasonable and one-to-one like crazy the model truck (there are still more birthdays to come in the years to come
.. can you give me a price, what that would cost approximately , if you make this model for me, time would be unlimited. And as I said, I have the model kit that I could send you.
