Paulie Hauling's "Love Machine"
Tony Bryan replied to Sergey's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Sergey Выдающиеся работы Now that is some very nice detail, and well worth spending the time to do it, Nice jig for the shocks,( if you use aluminium tube to hold the brass parts together the solder will not stick to it, also makes a good spacer if you are holding 2 parts together and need a space while soldering), as they have turned out very nice, as did the drive shafts look forward to more updates as you make more progress -
Daniel at Plastkit does a really nice T800 conversion, and the correction set some of the best castings around....

Mathew Really no point chasing this up, They don't have the moulds anymore, I believe they where sold to a RC company back in the 90's sometime, and if they where going to re release them it would have been done by now, The RC company did release a couple of RC trucks, but these are no longer made either, I have a feeling that they have gone belly up, what happened to the moulds from there is anyones guess Dave You have seen the Henrickson HT300 suspension, that I have done, now I have done the true Alcoa to suit the Monogram rims, and working on the HAS460 suspension at the moment, Have also just started a new COE conversion to suit the W900 kit, the model I will keep a secret till it is ready for mock up, but I think it will be worth while I am also looking for drawings or information on a Pete 362 if anyone has it

Project 4 1/4
Tony Bryan replied to Old Albion's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
That is some fantastic scratch building, would be great if you could share some of your secrets on how you make your parts, like the manifolds etc I think we all could learn some great lessons here -
First problem, Norscott don't make a 1/16th 3516 generator, so using a monogram 1/16th 3408, and cutting it into 8 parts, and adding to it is really the only option here, to widen and lengthen it is a easy way out, finding correct measurements to scratchbuild one is near impossible, unless you had a cat dealer next door, all the external parts, piping, brackets etc could then be scratch built, or photo etched, To give you an idea of the size of this machine in 1/16th it is 400 wide(over15inch), and 680mm (over 26inch) long, and the tyne for the ripper is 220 long (8inch) If you love this machine, then have a look at this in 1/14 scale D11R build The y are in 1/20th scale, but that don't matter, you can scale them to what you like

Covering red plastic
Tony Bryan replied to Steven1's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Flatbed is right, the best way to cover red plastic, or other coloured plastic for that matter is tan, and I have found that Tamiya Matt Desert yellow (X59) is better than most because it is slightly darker The light tan is a neutral colour, and it does seal off the red, I use it as a primer, as the matt gives the top coat something to bite into, I also air brush it on, so you can have a nice thin coat that won't hind the detail you can also use shellac, but it is a little thicker, it is what the older guys used, before fancy paints, mind you they didn't have red plastic either.... -

352 Peterbilt
Tony Bryan replied to truckman1981's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Jim, I have a order with JBOT for some decals, 8 months so far and nothing, they have been paid for, and promised and promised, nothing so far But, a friend in Canada must have the record from JBOT 2 1/2years he waited for his and all JBOT had to do was print them as he had drawn them had been told they had been sent, various times, and nothing, then they had turned up, out of no where, post marked the 3rd DEC 2010, I will never ever deal with JBOT again, he is unreliable, tells to many stories to be anywhere near what a good reliable decal maker should be truckman1981 That is a real nice 352, look forward to seeing you start this one, wish someone made a 352 in 1/16th...... -

Cuttin' up a Kenworth
Tony Bryan replied to SpreadAxle's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
There is nothing like cutting up a KW, nice work so far, you can also use the aerodyne roof to fit to the 36 inch sleeper you are making, KW in Australia used these on the gold nugget edition Here is what it would look like My link This is on a Aussie style truck,(SAR), they where also on the W models as well, but they do look cool I think Who are you going to do the roof of the bunk? -
You sure have a talent for scratch building, and that scale is just ...... huge I look forward to more updates with this spectacular project, thanks for sharing it
