This is the "making of" of the trailer chassis: Tires are also printed cause I didn't have any small ones in the box! Assembled chassis with axles and brake drums! The white "stoppers" we're box parts. Assembled wheels: Chassis almost complete! I chose smaller wheels because as far as I know lowboys mostly do have smaller ones. Here you can see the difference in size compared to the truck wheels: -

Thanks Steve! I thought a lot about it till I finally decided what to pair it with. I want to put two other Mack trucks on the lowboy, sort of a Mack family thing! -

Hi everyone! Been a while since I last posted to this thread! I'm waiting for the resin hood Bren printed for me. It's on its way across the ocean! Meanwhile I thought about a possible trailer and decided to make a lowboy! Something like this: This is the first shot of a virtual mock-up: Still a lot missing but I guess it'll be OK! -

Jürgen M. replied to freightshaker2's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Well done! I can imagine it's hard looking at a model getting dustier every day! The question to me has always been, which one goes in the case and which one doesn't? A hard decision! You'll do the right thing! -

Thanks Jeff! Concerning the decals, I created them on the computer, mostly Powerpoint or something and then I print them on decal paper, either white or transparent. On white you get deeper colors but you have to cut them out very precisely. In this case I used a transparent sheet. The colors didn't come out as deep as I hoped but it was easy to cut them out! The hood tilts pretty well! And here's a birds eye view! -

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate it! Till the new hood arrives there's not much to do. Put the side steps on the tanks and sleeper, rear plates, chains, a bit of fine tuning here and there! Still missing: fuel filler caps, bumper has to be glued on, ... -

I'm thinking about the head lights! I'm not so convinced anymore If it really looks good! I do have rectangular doubles in the box. What do you guys think? -

Jürgen M. replied to Gary Chastain's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Don't worry about it! Ever seen a truck where everything's symmetric? I saw a Bentley Arnage the other day! The gaps left and right of the trunk lid were totally different! Even the best of the best have faults! 😉
