The Freaky Tiki
gatorincebu replied to Darren B's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Darren, An idea for your trike trailer. When I had my trike. The trailer was a t configuration with a expanded mesh deck over the rear axle ( actually there was no axle per se. just VW axles welded to the angle iron box frame.) And the tongue was a 4 wide channel ( this is where the front wheel rode ) A boat crank on a upright post . And of course the ball hitch and chains. AT the rear of the platform was a full with drop down ramp That when raise was supported by two bar ( one on each side ) The fenders where a couple of motorcycle front fenders . Yes the trailer was basic and not fancy. there were no springs or shocks. In Florida a three wheel vehicle under 1,500 lbs is considered a motor cycle ( trike ) I hope that description makes sense. I do not have any pictures of the trailer. I do have some of the trike. but I need to find them lol Looking forward to this addition to the Tiki project Be Well Gator -

T-600 Dump Truck
gatorincebu replied to RocketJockey87's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Jordan, You did a pretty good job building that up into a decent looking working truck. I have a couple of those and have not been able to get rid of them. So they will end up as construction trucks. Be Well Gator -

1984 GMC update 4/10
gatorincebu replied to k100's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Nice work on this project thus far! Be Well Gator -
Hmmmm ! I am liking what I see here . There is nothing wrong with your modeling skills ,that is for sure. That paint looked great. Too bad it didn't work out for you. As for the crazing paint .I would strip it all the way down, Then scrub it with a toothbrush with some scouring powder. Then wash well in warm soapy water and rinse well. That should do the trick, I like what you did to the bed of the truck. Good luck with the fender repainting. Be Well Gator
