Bige37 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I got the deck painted with flat deck tan and washed with velegeo( check spelling on that)dark brown wash. Painted the load with chrome silver and wrapped with bare metal foil! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bige37 Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 Thanks! I have some chains that I'm gonna use to secure the load but I don't know how I'm attach them to the trailer I've been looking for after market chain tighteners but haven't had any luck!

rcdave Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 gotnitro beat me to it but I also got chain binders from Kit Form Services, they are photo etched metal. Just replace the styrene pins with something like paperclips (you'll see). Also got some scale chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bige37 Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 Thanks rc save and gotnitro! Gotnitro the rolls actually came with the kit they are simulated steel however I didn't read that part when I painted them chrome silver lol! I wrapped them in bare metal foil! Ill check out that site I have the chains just didn't know how to fasten them since the instructions are pretty much worthless this build is figure it out as you go! Overall the kit is well detailed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bige37 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Here is the flatbed attached the the Peterbuilt. It's nearly finished I was sick all last week so I didn't work on it but I still have to attach the chains to secure the coils and attach the side rails and decals and so some minor weathering and clear coat it but it looks good with the rig! Sun bitch is long takes up the top of my cabinet! First tractor trailer combo I've done plenty of tractors but this is my first trailer!
