Thanks! If I had the space I'd do a lot more movie trucks.

Another "Convoy" Truck!
Jürgen M. replied to Jürgen M.'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Yes, and I hope it comes out like I expect it to. I'll be starting the print of all parts shortly so I can do the painting during summer. It'll take quite a while till everything is printed. The cab I showed you took 37hours. -
Another "Convoy" Truck!
Jürgen M. replied to Jürgen M.'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Thanks Rockford! What I forgot to say, I also lowered the cab a bit because compared to the K100 VIT kit the windshield and the side windows were way too high. So I took out a few millimeters and adjusted the bolts and everything else. It would have looked strange having two KW K100s with different windshield hights. Except for the engine tubing and a few smaller parts the designing of truck and trailer are almost finished. Didn´t think I´d get through that fast. Maybe it´s because I learned a lot in designing the last couple of weeks. I´ve been watching tutorials on different skills like freestyle shaping parts and using "short cuts" for things I had done much too complicated before. I also learned how to easily design gears and so I´ll be synchronizing the doors underneath the trailer when they open. Hope that works out. Here´s the first shot at the sun visor! -

Absolutely amazing! The details are stunning and so realistic! ? -
Another "Convoy" Truck!
Jürgen M. replied to Jürgen M.'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Thank you guys! These are the corrections I made to the cab: As you can see, the slim struts and the side windows don´t come out really well and They´re absolutely impossible to sand or rework in any other way so I extracted them out of the cabin in order to be printed in a different position. That way they should come out nicer! I put in some support struts in order to keep the roof from falling during printing. The front part will be held up by a software generated support structure. I also began designing the trailer which turned out to be quite tricky. Here´s the original first: Sorry, these are screenshots from the movie. They´re a bit blurry but I think you can see the important things. Now the designed parts of which I had to split some up due to the size of the parts. The printer only goes up to 220 x 220 mm. I also designed the cross bars in mounting position and then extracted them to get a better printing result. The back end: The container inside: Underbody and doors: and the suspension which I took over from the tractor and changed them to a trailer suspension with the u-bolts being mounted upside down like I learned from Force! Thanks again for your valuable input! That´s all for the time but there´ll be more! -
De-Aerodyned K100

Fantastic! Making a 1/32 Kit Look like a "big one"! Great job! ? -
Another "Convoy" Truck!
Jürgen M. replied to Jürgen M.'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Wow, thanks very much! The printing lines will hopefully be covered by a fill primer I purchased. Haven't tried it out yet though. Sanding is a bit complicated with all those bolts rivets and other 3D details. I read on this board and in personal notes that some guys had good experiences with it. -

Fantastic! It looks absolutely perfect! -

Beautiful! Amazing how realistic you made it look! -
Another "Convoy" Truck!
Jürgen M. replied to Jürgen M.'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Yes, that's true Rockford! Glad you like it! I could even turn it into an aerodyne. Still I've got some Others waiting in line to be designed and printed. Since there are already 4 Kenworth trucks on the shelf I thought it would be more interesting to do some more exotic types after this one. But that will stay confidential Till the KW is finished! ? I had even thought about shortening the cab of the K100 VIT which I had posted a while ago but I just couldn't! Too many good memories! -
Another "Convoy" Truck!
Jürgen M. replied to Jürgen M.'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Took a shot at the cab! Looks pretty good. Still it won't be the one I'll use! I've already made some changes and corrections in the drawing so I'll print it again! -
Another "Convoy" Truck!
Jürgen M. replied to Jürgen M.'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I already printed the suspension. Just couldn't wait to see how it comes out. I chose a different filament this time. One that's printed at a higher temperature but slower. It says it promises better results in surface quality. Looks pretty good to me! Still has to be sanded in a couple of places though. -

May I ask where you got the exhausts or did you make them yourself? They look so perfect!! -

Love that paint job and the decals! Beautiful! ? -
Another "Convoy" Truck!
Jürgen M. replied to Jürgen M.'s topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Here are a few more designed parts: Bumper: Cab rest: Headlight bezzles and horns: Inside door panels and interior: Seats and sleeper curtain: Steering wheel: There are of course lots of other parts which I have already designed but I won´t fill this thread with them. Some parts I´ll actually take over from previous models such as engine parts for example. Only the exhaust and air pipes will be custom made for this specific truck. -

Of course! I use Autodesk Fusion 360! And UltiMaker Cura 5.5.0 for slicing! -

Exactly! Brockway belonged to Mack till they put it to sleep in 74 or so. Had same cabs, same fuel tanks, ...! -

Great effects in the tanks! Looks so real! -

Could be! I thought amt wanted to keep variations at a minimum. Hey Gary, sorry for the excursion but I was just surprised to see the same cab again. ? -

Wow! Great to learn from the best! Never thought I'd still learn so much about trucks at this age being a Fan for about 45 years or so. Thanks again to everyone for sharing your knowledge ! ? -
