My own Sundance
Jürgen M. replied to Rockford's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
No problem! You're such a good modeller, I doubt you'll have any problems! I had the Modeltruckin decals for Rubber Duck and Pig Pen! They were very good quality, better than Amt as a fact. I'd put them in the Italeri fraction. I was about to order the "Bruhn Trucking" decals there too but since they're not too complex I decided to save the money and made them myself! -
Farm Floater Truck 1/24th scale
Jürgen M. replied to Randy D's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Omg! That engine looks great! Amazing details on an engine that size! -
My own Sundance
Jürgen M. replied to Rockford's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Keep going! Looks great! I know the decal stage always makes one a bit nervous but actually there's no reason. You've done such a wonderful job on this! I'm sure you'll do the same with the decals! I've made the experience that Modeltruckin decals are of good quality and allow enough sliding around to put them into place before they stick so no worries! ? -
Another "Convoy" Truck!
Jürgen M. replied to Jürgen M.'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
The first primer coat is on! One more layer will be necessary I guess and the air humidity will keep it from drying quickly! It'll take a while till it's over sprayable! -

Another "Convoy" Truck!
Jürgen M. replied to Jürgen M.'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I added the air lines ... and the tail lights as well as the rear license of the tractor! The new sun visor is almost ready too! Then the tractor is finally finished. Hope to put the primer on tomorrow! Looks a bit like a "Bat Truck" ! ? -
Another "Convoy" Truck!
Jürgen M. replied to Jürgen M.'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
The trailer is about ready for its paintjob! ? I think I hit the size quite well considering that my references were these screenshots. Oh, before I forget: I read in one of your WIP threads (sorry, can't remember who's it was) that the holes in the muffler heat shield were done as decals which I thought was a grand idea! I actually took over the idea and applied it on this tractor! Thanks for the idea, Hope you dont mind my copying it? Maybe I'll come up with one or the other Idea you can use! ? -

? Just noticed that the above post existed twice! Sorry! -
Another "Convoy" Truck!
Jürgen M. replied to Jürgen M.'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Thanks! I appreciate it! ? I finished printing the large parts and now comes the small stuff you get on to while you have time to think! This is the inner container of the trailer! Now in place: The underside of the trailer looks a bit rough and untidy but once it's primered and painted it'll look better! -

Part 3 is finished! Now the inner container will be printed in two parts. Then mudflaps and some minor later not visible parts to support the door mechanism. After that I'll assemble as far as possible before painting. First comes the fill primer, then gloss white. After that final assembly and aging measures! -
2× Chevy Bison
Jürgen M. replied to Rockford's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Great job on both Bisons Rockford! Your precise Work makes them look like the big ones! Amazing! -
Another "Convoy" Truck!
Jürgen M. replied to Jürgen M.'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
OK, the belly doors are assembled and they kind of work too! Not as precise as I hoped but OK enough! They won't be in permanent use anyway! It's just a feature I wanted to include! VID_20240611_195256~2.mp4 -
Another "Convoy" Truck!
Jürgen M. replied to Jürgen M.'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
These are the new doors with integrated gears. A first try showed that they work! Had to split up the doors in three parts each though in order to get the gears printed. The single gears go between the doors and meet in the middle! Hope to get it all assembled this evening! -
Another "Convoy" Truck!
Jürgen M. replied to Jürgen M.'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Well, they almost fit perfectly but there was a bit of warping for some reason in this Print which you can only see when fitting the parts together! Can't be due to design fault in this case since I just cut the trailer apart in the 3D drawings and separated the parts without changing them. Anyway, it almost fits perfectly. There is a small gap at the top on the left trailer side but I can cover that up easily! It's getting there! -

? Thanks for the compliment Rockford! At the moment I´m printing the new components. Wasted some filament but I´ll be happier when it works! -
I needed another project....T800
Jürgen M. replied to gotnitro?'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Nice build! If you have any hub caps from car kits they normally fit quite well. I used hubcaps from a 1:16 Chevy Nomad as hubcaps on the rear wheels of my Revell PB Black Magic wrecker! They're about the same diameter as the tops of the air cleaners! Maybe after market If you don't have any! -
Another "Convoy" Truck!
Jürgen M. replied to Jürgen M.'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
The second part of the trailer body is finished! I used the vertical crossbars as overlapping latches so there won't be any gaps visible! Hardly at least! -
Mack F-Model Byrd Motor Lines
Jürgen M. replied to DRIPTROIT 71's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Looks nice! Something else indeed! -
Another "Convoy" Truck!
Jürgen M. replied to Jürgen M.'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Just had an idea! I'll have to print the doors again though. I put the gears at the ends of the door latches where the axles go through. Then two more between the doors. That way the movement is transmitted directly via gears and the pulleys are history! -
Another "Convoy" Truck!
Jürgen M. replied to Jürgen M.'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Generally the doors open by Hand but not yet by the drive gears. There's a bit of a tight fit of a door on one side and If that's all it is it should be reparable! When you turn the gears with your finger one of the doors moves but not the other one! Should of course be the other way around! If you moves one door the other one should moves too! I'll get behind it! It would probably have been better to just use gears without the pulleys! I keep learning! -
Another "Convoy" Truck!
Jürgen M. replied to Jürgen M.'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I did it! ? Now I have to allow the glue to dry till I try out the doors! Wouldn't want the whole thing to come apart again! The tension rises! -
I'd love to take that one in a cross country trip through the US! Even there it would be a real eye catcher!

International CO-4000, Navajo Trucking.
Jürgen M. replied to Repstock's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
That's a very authentic looking truck model! Beautiful! I Loved building my 4070 a lot! Hope yours was as easy to build? (meaning they precise fit of parts and good quality of the kit). It's still and will Always be one of my favorite models! Thanks for sharing! -
Very nice truck! Is that a purchased metallic coat or a self mixed one? Looks awesome!
