Thanks! I scored a pile of flexi straws yesterday while having lunch w my Dad, funny how modelers see supplies while drinking ice tea !! Thanks I wanted a daily used look after watching clips of these trailers in use. They get dragged thru worse conditions then NY pot holes -

Well, the trailer is almost finished! Just need to adjust some sloppy weathering, and make a couple decals. I don't care for the yellow appearance I noticed after the photos were taken..easy fix. The working portion of the trailer is my favorite. Its done w multiple layers of pigment powders, different shades of very thinned paint, and damp rags w thinner to remove base colors. Thanks for everyone following along! I promise I'll wrap up the KW soon -
You could always just drop it off at a certain person's work, and he could spray it for ya...lol He's probably playing whack a ball in a gopher hole right now or choo choo...

KFS Michigan Loader
gotnitro? replied to Warren D's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I curious, would this type loader be transported w wheels mounted or removed and installed at the job site ? I've seen photos of large quarry equipment hauled in pieces, got me wondering Either way, we know the Brockway has plenty of pulling power for it ! -

Thanks everyone for your feedback I really appreciate the comments. Such a loss not having the reflective tape available now, after what seems like a renewed interest in trucks/ trailer builds. @Mopar - D I won't have a retractable tarp, just a set of sideboards around the hopper. I realized an error after hanging the doors, dummy mistake too. I didn't leave enough room for paint on the cylinders so they bind up right now. I'll tweak those then be back w a fair update -

Thanks The reflective stripes were from Line O tape, the last roll I had. Found out they closed their doors too..lousy news I could source more from rolls of tape available at hardware stores, and have enough for 5 lifetimes lol -
Excellent work on this IH ! Impressive work with your 3d print,definitely the direction our hobby is headed in a good way after seeing what can be accomplished

I wish I had seen those CTM hose fittings after making mine, so much nicer. Your interior looks great, those PE sets make a world of difference, especially in the office. Armor builders have been treated to PE forever, glad it is finally making its way to rigs -

After reading about all the issues people have w Rustoleum paint, I can now see why it shouldn't be used. When Line-O-Tape peeled it off in sheets, I almost stripped the entire build. I decided to push thru the problem, I'm too far along now. A couple touch ups will suffice. CTM trailer lights and reflectors set worked perfectly, and gives a modern look I really like. I'm not building a show trailer, more daily used kinda build. The hopper was sprayed w a random mix of tamiya paints, creating a old steel base color. More rust and dirt tones will be added over this, then the entire trailer a dusty wash. I hope it turns out like I plan...nothing like screwing up a build after months of work if it goes south! Thanks for following along! -

Excellent work Jeff ! I can't get over the details on the Detroit engine, compared to kit offerings this is a huge improvement. I order from Paul quite a bit, very pleased w his selection -

Thanks ! I kept changing my mind about color..yellow or white. Finally settled on this @BK9300 honestly unsure what equipment was used to cut the sides out. If I hear anything I'll let ya know for sure -

I sprayed the trailer this morning, Rustoleum white enamel that was sourced locally. I expect the paint to take several days to cure enough to handle, then start adding the plumbing and lights. -
Wow I'm blown away how nice this looks
