The Brush

Hi, here is the finished trailer built from scratch & i have a Mirror Models CAT D7 cable dozer to add as a load (not yet built)

A handsome truck, well made, good job.

What a top job, I like the setting also.

Good job, Paint finish looks good, Well done.

Hi, Heres the trailer painted ready to assemble, I left the tyres in black primer, Wooden decking is washed in dark brown when dry a black wash was added light sanding then finshed with a thin coat of satin sealer. I made the screw holes with staple remover the bottom half. Still some detail to add yet. Thanks for looking.

Hi, The trailer is now ready for paint, Bit more work on the decking yet & also to make lashing rings from wire. Thanks for looking.

Nicely done, paint looks good.

Hi, Heres the finished Macks , F607 & F700 Scratch built parts which i then made moulds to cast in resin, Decals & badges are home made also used clear gems+clear rod for the lights. Thanks for looking.

HI, This is the only pic i have at the moment taken in the 80`s. I might dig it out of storage clean & repair it Then put it on a new thread with more build details. Thanks for letting post this on your build thread.

Nice work , Brings back memories of one i built many years ago, Finished it red with gold leaf lettering in Stroths beer livery pulling AMT double trailers converted to flat sides. I have a picture of it if you`d like to see it. I look forward to seeing yours finished.

Thanks for commenting, The decking is from an old wooden window blind I have just changed for a new one.

Hi, Had a busy couple of months doing real life stuff, But now back on the bench is a lowloader to go with the F series Macks which are now finished - photos soon, Built from what i have in stock, The frame from 3mm perspex covered in 0.5 plastic sheet the springs are resin, axle ali tube, tyres from a mould i have of the hard plastic type, spoke wheels are moulded from the AMT 1/25 box trailer, i covered them in liquid latex, when set & removed these moulds shrink about 10%, then cast the wheels in resin which with some adjustment fitted in the hard tyres, Then made a mould of the tyres with wheel & cast them in resin. I have added some plumbing for effect.

That`s a beefy looking Mack, very impressive work well done.

Thats a neat truck, very well done as always.

Impressive work. They look great plenty of detail, Well done.
