alangarber Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Nice, They all look great I'd love to build one of those but the price of styrene here is too crazy. Hopefully someone will make a kit like that. Great Job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirt Demon Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 It wasnt to bad on the wallet to build this Alan, just time consuming. I think I have more money tied up in the Moebius wheel and tire sets....(2 sets)... than I do in styrene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alangarber Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Here the prices are just wicked Sheets for 2 are almost $5 and tubing for 3 peices are $4 . It looks great I need something like that for my D8. You did a great job on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirt Demon Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 Thanks Alan, believe it or not this was my first ever attempt at building one of these trailers. It was a fun build and it really didnt take all that long to build. Once I scaled everything down.... it pretty much fell together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rign14 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Thanks for all the kind words guys. Pat, I got the measurements from COZAD trailers, and used my scale app to make it to 1/25 scale. The excavator is actually a New Ray plastic toy one. I took it all apart ,repainted it, made my own decals, and weathered it to look like a real one, and not a toy. If I may ask what is your scale app? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBad Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I'm always amazed of people scratch building their stuff! I have seen quite a bit more than just a couple of these lowboys that have been built from plastic sheet and channels (and some wooden planks...). This one is hanging with the best I've seen yet! There definitely is a market for this type of trailer kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
