Superb! A good example of a model that looks realistic because the weathering is restrained.

   Once again Tiking you have nailed it. I used to drive here in the states and scales, weigh stations, were a source of aggravation.  Can't imagine a remote unmanned scale house were your overweight ticket pops out of a kiosk.

Tiking :

 You are so full of It ! Stop taking pictures of real stuff , Photoshopping it and showing it as models ! Dad Gummit ! You nailed it again ! ! Very believeable from any angle .

 The weathering is so subtle . Are you sure this isn't photoshopped  ? LOL.LOL.  T.B.

Hi,

I really enjoy your real world vignettes.  Some of the details or so accurate that its hard at times to tell that they are models.

Thank you buddy. 

It's amazing to see how similar, and how different, European weigh stations are to US ones.

US one's would be a bit boring as dios.  About 75-150m long, 2 to 3 lanes wide, with a low box next to the metal contact plate.  Bunch of lights to illuminate the working and staging (and the pull-over, post-weigh, area).  Spot for the state policing agency (commercial vehicle or weights & scales, or the like) vehicle to park.  Some bollards.

All the signage is a half mile (0.6km) up the road away.

The kind of thing only US truckers and people who designed highway department appurtenances might recognize.

This dio, on the other hand, captures every thing about the experience in a simple, elegant way that is neatly on a base without wasted open space, and only needing the one vehicle to carry off.

Kudos.

THAT is stunningly good. Right down to the Fritos bag on the dash. I can only admire your work. I will never be this good. Smiling.

Very nice, very realistic

Yeah and we just keep slowlly rolling through and not stop unless the lights tell us to.

Yeah I too would claim you'd substitued pictures of the real thing if I didn't know better!

Bravo sir!!!
