Then I send all materials to Truck Model World, and as they split it to 4-5 issues + there was time consuming for edit the material, it comes out slow. I guess final part of the article will issue in 2019. So I will slow down with updating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergey Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) Let's continue... Drilled old wheel nuts And made a conductor to glue new nuts to new studs And got this Second rim added to trailer wheels The walls of the living module were cut out of candy box. They are hard enouth and I don't have to cut out windows. But before I made a pattern Rectangular tube was used as taillights surraunder, chromed later Stock sleeper walls cut for hatch inserts into living module Tease are window frames Tool boxes and steps with frames Diamond doors Driver box can be opened to operate different LED circuits.

CRUSADER2 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Now that's what you call a spread axle! the tyre scrub on these trailers must be horrendous and the risqué of doing even more damage to the running gear a big possibility too, turning too tightly with a loaded tri axle trailer on uneven ground is a risqué but these spread axle trailers must be a night mare. Great work and detail Sergey, as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergey Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) I guess it's time to finish this On the Workbench tale: Paintig was TS-2828 over white Tamiya primer Interrior sprayed with a mix of Tamiya's ХF-78 и ХF-2but before that preshading was made in deepenings. Wooden inserts on the doors, ceiling and steering wheel - painted in several steps: Modelmaster - Wood - with airbrush, x-26 and XF-10 - by brush and - X-26 from airbrush in the end. The engine was painted with water soluble ScaleColor paint, color - Fucsia. The block head, oil sump, alternator and pulleys – chromed by Alclad. After painting I added resin nuts and bolt heads into under hood compartment, and etched clamps from Czehc Truck Model. Paint was followed by the decals. These are Golden pin stripes and scrols, as well as the name of the transport company on cab doors, purchased earlier on KFS. Further - clear varnish. After drying and polishing, the door and window openings were covered with model Factory Hiro foil. It more adhesive than BMF, but the reflective ability of it – worse The mudguards are made of black matte Oracl. Finally was able to apply here Pin Up silhouettes. Reflective red and white stripes on the trailer are from "Line O Tape". Bought on eBay. The Swan figurine on the hood was bought on Ausie Models in advance, but sorry, where is the Swan!? It's a dove! Its height is 11mm, it is more suited to the scale of 1: 16. I was have to cut the "Swan's" wings and paws. Reduced to 8 mm. I drilled a 0.8 mm hole in the head and removed the excess with a scalpel. The result was a normal curved neck. The wings are used to represent a single one. A furrow was filed down in the center with a needle file. It turned out two wings. As a result, the construction lasted 8 years with breaks. Not changed / not replaced left, about 10% of the original parts. I had the idea to make the mounting clamps on the fuel and water tanks, but in the end I was worn down and let it go. Here is finished model: Edited January 20, 2019 by Sergey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
