  1. Hi, I make the mould boxes from 3 or 5mm foam board stick the parts on with PVA glue, then fill with silicone moulding rubber, The parts i need more of i make 2or3 rubber moulds, I used to mke the boxes from plastic but found foam board more cost effective & easy to cut. Cast the parts in fast cure resin.
  2. Thanks Ben, I downloaded a diagram of the spring & scaled it to size, made a template from wood, the bottom arc, then built up the springs with strips of plastic card from there the rest is from photo`s, The brake chambers should be more angled downward next time. Thanks Graham.
  3. Great work on this one, Those printers are very handy,
  4. Hi, Thanks for the replies, Heres a few more pics. I have made 3 frames-2 for the first builds & 1 to make a mould from, Also 3cabs + cleaned up parts & assembled to make the suspension & axles.I only had a normal axle to convert so for now it will have to do.till i get one with an offset diff, I used the half engine which can be cut out to fit a full engine
  5. Hi, I decided to finish off a couple of unfinshed projects, This is a build started a few years back, Mack F700, using a cab front from the pumper the rest is scratchbuilt. I had good intensions to build a few variants so i made a mould, Cab could also be used for a Brockway & Hayes. The rest of the truck will also be scratch built or adapted to a mack r frame if one ever became available, I have`nt seen any for sale lately. Heres a few pics to start us off.
  6. Hi Happy new year. Great work on the trailer, Looks good.
  7. Very nice build, paint & finish is superb, well done
  8. Hi Great work on the kenworth, details really make it. I used that same colour on my Mack b61 but over a silver ground coat to lighten it a bit more. Graham.
  9. Hi, I thought i would post these pics of a scratchbuilt 1/24 diamond t i built many years ago, I used a 1/72 model to scale up from. Having no room to display larger models now i have decided to start selling some off this being the first.Made from plastic card with italeri hard tyres airbrushed green. spare parts & resin bits. back drop is printed vinyl.
  10. As always very impressive build & great colours well done.
  11. Thanks Steve ,your comments are welcome. Now what shall i build next?.
