  1. Injection molding machine getting close, then finish rear enclosure. Next, build pallet.
  2. Very nice, love the day cab.
  3. Had to read every post on this build, great work, will be following.
  4. Progress on the injection molding machine. Will be adding a one-shot glass loader and the wiring. The pallet and container will be next, picked up a bunch of balsa wood at Hobby Lobby.
  5. Thanks for the post, going to try this on my big truck builds.
  6. Really looking good Paul, love those logging trucks
  7. Starting work on the injection molding machine and the wooden pallet/crate. This will be the load on the drop deck trailer with multiple crates contains leveling pads, mold, thermolater and one shot loader. Waiting for parts for the trailer and I need a break from cutting plastic, so load it is.
  8. Very cool build, love to see builders imagination, great job.
  9. There is no shame Jacobus. I had to abandon the original BRBO build as well due to poor planning on my part. I was able to complete a simpler build and replace it in the competition. We all strive to do our best when time and planning allows.
  10. Your build looks great. I am the same builder, takes me months to build a simple out of the box model. Removing the parting line marks, ejector pin marks, flash, cleaning up the shape of every little part takes so much time. Then I always end up making a few parts from scratch because I don’t like the shape or fit.
  11. Your skills are unbelievable, enjoying watching your build. ???
  12. Thanks Bill, great build on your tractor/trailer build. I use a lot of Auslow products, I like the detail on their axles and they are very customizable
  13. Thanks Charles and yes the entire frame build is Evergreen and other plastic. I will put a wood deck on. I have four models of injection molding machines, I will build the largest one and mount it on a wooden skid with a lift off crate to enclose it. I am hopeful that it will fit on the lower deck when completed, hence the long trailer.
  14. Thanks Dan, not sure it will be as nice as some of your scratch built trailer. They take a lot of time to build.
  15. Top deck fabrication is coming together, Need to get chrome wheels together, axles assembled and spacing set before I can start lower deck.
  16. This is really time consuming but two thirds of the upper deck coming together.
