  1. Thank you Alain. You're absolutely correct. The lower part of the cylinder should be below the ramp hinge axis. I will make cylinder mounting plates for this correction.
  2. The sleeper looks great. Most impressive paint job! I can see why you like the Testors spray lacquer
  3. Here's a few pics of the CAT on my current work in progress:
  4. Alan, here's a link to the kit that the excavator comes with. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Ray-1-32-Peterbilt-379-w-Lowboy-Trailer-Challenger-Excavator-NRY11283-/321315452174 The truck and trailer are 1/32 scale, but the excavator is 1/25 scale. The link is for reference only. Shop around and you'll find these selling between 25 and 30 dollars.
  5. Thank you Jim. This is why I started my trailer the Rogers FG35D http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=87000
  6. I finished this build in February. It's the NewRay excavator. I really enjoyed this project and would like to build more construction equipment. As always, thanks for looking Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki
  7. Great way to display in limited space!
  8. Looks real good. Can't wait to see the tank!
  9. Here's a few update pictures of the landing gear and hyd. cylinders for the ramps...
  10. Real nice build. Very convincing used look.
  11. Casey you're doing a fine job with this. You're attention to details is awesome! Great progress pics too.
  12. Jim is right. This has to be the worst part of model building. If this is any consolation, just look at the awesome paint job on the cab and hood that will be applied to this troubling sleeper.
  13. Thank you Hessel. All frame and ramp rails are cut by hand. The square tubing is by Evergreen.
  14. Me too! The next step will be the rear axles which I'll be purchasing from Plaskit.
  15. Many thanks for all the kind words
  16. Excellent build JT. Can't wait to see what you haul with it.
