Büssing 8000 S13 oldtimer truck:
working in progress...
I didn't like so much the plastic deck included in the Veroma kit .. so I wondering about a wood board much in 'oldtimer' style. As the side panels are fixed on the plastic deck, I leave it in place, just covered by the wood board. Both panels are glued toghether with two-component cement.

Il pianale in plastica incluso nel kit Veroma non ha un aspetto bellissimo..ho preferito realizzare un pianale in vero legno da sovrappore a quello esistente. Le sponde laterali sono fissate come in origine con un incastro sul pianale in plastica. Il foglio in multistrato da 2mm è stato fresato per simulare un tavolato. Tre file di chiodi simulano il fissaggio delle tavole del pianale. Il tutto è stato poi trattato con mordente color noce e finitura a cera.

The new deck is made with real poplar plywood (2 mm. thick) and is all in one piece: planks are simulated with 1 mm deep cuts.

I add three rows of nails in the middle and on both extremities. There are two cuts to fit the two middle supports.

Wood deck is coloured with a flatting ( Teak color) to simulate hard wood planks usually in Oak or Chestnut. The wood piece must be around 4-5 mm. smaller than the original Veroma part to allow side panels embedding.
