IHC Transtar CO-4090A WIP
gatorincebu replied to redneckrigger's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Tom, Hope you take care to mend slowly. As for the model. I knew I shoulda kept my idea to myself ! lol hey go for it. The whole idea of model building in my mind is to relax and enjoy. Changing a project is par for the course.. I get my enjoyment , satisfaction ,and relaxation from my time at the workbench. Building modifying or whatever. Though I do not enjoy the finite detailing that some people do so well. I do try to build a clean model. Be Well Gator -
Another option if you want a lowboy ( low loader) is KFS. His kits are top shelf and well worth the money. The only drawback is that they are of a European design. I have a complete rig of the first low loader Howard did back in the 90''s. Hope to be building it soon. There was also a series of articles on how to build/modify trailers.Including one on how to do a removeable gooseneck lowboy. You can find the articles in the Dutch modle website. Be Well Gator

Revell Peterbilt 359 *engine*
gatorincebu replied to JTRACING's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Now that is some really fine weathering ! I like the little chain.I was wondering where you got it. I also noticed that you took the time to do a good job of removing the join seams.on the motor and tranny. Good job on it. Be Well Gator -
X's 2 I could use at least one more three axle and one or two two axles lowboys if KJ does them again. Be Well Gator

1/32 wheels & tires on 1/25
gatorincebu replied to Modelmikey's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I have not used either of those. I know of somepeople that use the wheels and tires off the 1/32nd diecast trucks. Not sure about how accurate they are .But they do look good. I have a diecast KW w/logging trailer that I plan to strip for parts. The duals will go on trailers.Surely there will be someone here that can give you more info. Be Well Gator -
Another Parts Box Special
gatorincebu replied to gino's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Gino, I doubt that anyone has only one project on their workbench at one time . I know I keep telling myself only one model at a time. But never manage to stick to that!! lol Aside from this being a save and a parts bin build ,I am liking it. I may just have to do a stretch job on something myself. I like what you've done thus far!

Hayes Clipper offroad truck
gatorincebu replied to Arnd's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Arnd, I like the rear end you chose very fitting for a heavy work truck. A Cummins would work but I kinda like the Detroit idea?? Did the pit fenders come in the kit? Be Well Gator -
Wow ! That is really nice ! You did a real fine job on the build . I just wish you had done a build thread. I got one of those kits. haven't started it yet. Wishin now I had ordered the dual axle kit as well. Hope KJ does some more of them. Be well Gator

Dodge Bighorn "Shortnose"
gatorincebu replied to Mopar - D's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Looks like a interesting project. It is kinda a shame that Dodge opted out of the class8 truck market. Be Well Gator -

Hayes Clipper offroad truck
gatorincebu replied to Arnd's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Arnd, I love your ideas and theme for this project ! The whole thing with the class8 trucks and heavier.Is that if you have enough money you can build any truck you want . If you have a good mechanic and welder you can rebuild most anything. And of course you need a graveyard of old trucks for some parts. I will be following this thread . Be Well Gator
