Lovely work on your Vomag, Mike! I wouldn’t call it ugly, that was more or less the design of the 1930’s/40’s. Though it has indeed a large cowling. I imagine it was a huge truck.
I go some numbers smaller than Mike, not in scale but in size of the real deal. This will be my builds … 
I have opened up a build blog at the Automodeller Truck section where I will post my progress in detail.
Tempo A400 Lieferwagen + E400 Hochladerpritsche - Automotive / Trucks - KitMaker Network
But of course I will show here the main steps. I will start tomorrow and hope to have finished both builds for our model show in early May …
