Hi Dennis
Congratulations on another great model!
Since LEGO released all these new fancy colors, it happens more and more that we
get to see much more realistic models - at least from a color scheme point of
view. And yours definitely is one of that category.
You told me quite a long time ago that you were working on an orange model and
so I was pretty sure it would become a Van der Vlist model. But I newer expected
it to be a Renault Magnum. I always associate VdV with Scania. Don’t ask me why.

Thank you for the compliments! I took me a long time to get it like this but I’m
very pleased with it. Yesterday I received some large prints of the pictures
I’ve taken. It looks very different in comparison to the traditional LEGO
colors. I’m very satisfied with those as well.

But than I have to invest in many new pieces for a second time. I would like to
build a green truck as well but this year I will not spend so much money on new
LEGOs. Currently I’m building models in the tradional colors again (except from
some dark bluish grey pieces :-)

Van der Vlist always had many Scania’s in their fleet and they still have. The
parent company has many DAF and Volvo. The Scania’s are getting more out of
order because they havan’t bought ones from the latest range. Holtrop Van der
Vlist just has Scania’s. They contractors are driving with any kind of brand.
This Magnum is quite rare. Maybe people thought I would build the 6-axle Scania
tractor like Frank Buiting did.
He started to build his MOC later then I did but as I described the Magnum was
the only one which I could proper build of LEGOs.
BR, Dennis
