Sadly, we’ve all been there.

I’ve had success with this method, too.

Yeah, that’s the downside. Not sure how long it’ll take to ship. In August, A&N posted that they temporarily couldn’t ship to the US. Not sure what the status is on that now, but I’m also thinking about placing an order with them.

3d Concepts has great transmissions, too. Lots of other parts to outfit and upgrade this project. I’d recommend A&N for the tires, very detailed. They have aggressive 385 front floats, and the perfect X Works heavy tread 315 drive tires.

Really cool project. Very unique.

I agree, somewhat of a fish-eye effect with the iPhone camera. I bet there’s some way to avoid or correct it, but it is annoying.

Not sure why that second photo makes the roof look like it’s sagging a little. It’s straight. Must be the camera angle? Anyway, I’ll do a mock up with the toter when I get a chance.

I haven’t had a lot of time to dedicate to the project in the past month. But, I managed to get the body work done on the exterior of the trailer, and I was able to begin the process of laying down primer. There wasn’t as much filling and sanding as was on the coach body, so I was able to skip the heavier primers and go straight to Mr. Hobby Black 1500. As usual, the primer exposes small, but noticeable flaws that’ll need a little more work. However, just getting it into black, even if it’s primer, makes me feel like I’ve accomplished something.

Nice new workbench area. Looks like you’ve got a nice amount of space to work and a comfortable chair.

It’s great to see your work on the forum again. I remember some of the awesome cabovers you’ve done, and this one is no exception. Going the extra mile with the detail, paint scheme, and body corrections (especially lowering the headlights) is so very much worth it in the end. The aftermarket parts are great. Your scratch building is also top notch, like the aftercooler.

Welcome aboard! Nice build. I like the paint choices and detail trim. I hope to see more in the future.

It’ll be another great build!

Ultra realistic weathering, especially the wood. I like the two-tone paint, great color scheme. Nice work.

The double drop is a great choice for a trailer. Unique, versatile, and good-looking.

That grille and hood looks great. The see-through mesh is excellent.

Excellent is every way. Love the wheels and tires. The engine choice is perfect and the weathering is spot-on. Wonderful build.

Bravo! Unique and a high quality build.

Exactly. When they are branded, the lettering is often raised out of scale, and/or raised when it should be recessed.

Much improvement with the latest bumper.

Coming along nicely. I love the color. Glad the printer line issue is solved.

Lights…Camera…Action! Seriously, this one is so cool! Unique and impressive. I don’t think I’ve seen one modeled before. What a good use of A&N’s kit.

Thanks so much, guys. So many very talented builders on here like yourselves, means a lot from you.

Absolutely fantastic progress, even if it takes more time than expected. The results are obviously worth it. And I agree, sometimes you don’t notice issues until you post the photos here on the forum, and look at them later. That’s often been the case for me. Another reason why the forum is helpful.

She’s a beauty!
