48 ft drop deck trailer scratch built

06 April 2012 - 03:23 PM

Here is my scratchbuilt drop deck I built for my Kenworth Custom. I live out in in the sticks and 75 miles from the nearest hobby store so I buillt this all out of paper. The deck is made with aluminum tape. I hope you enjoy.

I hope all the members that live in the Dallas, Ft. Worth, Texas area are okay, tornadoes ripped through there this afternoon and did allot of damage.

Kenworth W900 custome

I hate posting my builds on here because I am not the best modeler but I figured if I am going to be a member of this forum I need to particapate. This is my streached W900, fenders, tail lights and marker lights I ordered from, "Modelmakershop", all the rest of the stuff I scratch built. Texas bumper, sun visor, a/c unit, wind deflector, hood vents, side tool box and back tool box believe it or not are made of cardstock, I ran out of plastic so had to use paper. The satellite dome is made from a lid off a purfume bottle and the base and trim of it are paper. The paint is Krylon rattle can. I hate rattle cans so the paint job isn't the best. For all the chrome parts I made I used metal tape, it is the tape you use for tapeing air condition and heating ducts, not sure the proper name for it.

Like I said, it isn't the best and it won't win any shows but I had fun doing it.

Chicken lights for 1:25 scale

02 March 2012 - 01:29 AM

I just bought two Revell - Monogram 1:25 Kenworth W900's and want to customize them. I was wanting to know if there is a web site that sells custom parts like chicken lights, texas bumpers, sun visers, straight stacks, etc, etc, etc? Most this stuff I can scratch build but would rather buy the lights, don't feel like sitting for hours scratch building all of them.

Or if any body has any tips on how to make them, I will need allot for stretched sleepers.
