Yes that is the one, Ben has the wheels, here are the drawings........ http://www.cozadtrailers.com/en/trailers/ Klaus Clever built a fantastic version of this trailer hand punch all the side rails with a die, and hand scrolled the final pinstripes then of course you will need a machine for it......... -

4200 or 4300, what ever it is, you still have done a great job saving it, and building something that is unique, well done, I like it -
Source for large offroad tires
Tony Bryan replied to Fat Brian's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Try a toy store, the kids have a great array of tyres on their toys, you might get lucky and find them on a cheap toy, or try the broken/parts in the die cast section on evil bay -
Mack Superliner
Tony Bryan replied to MoparWoman Jamie's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Thank you, I have also made and cast all the rubber mounts for the tanks..... Thanks Ben, it certainly isn't no plastic kit, and is a lot harder to plan as well as making the tooling to suit the various parts that I am making from sheet stock, I may start a thread on it one day when the chassis is together Jim Watch these video's on how the frame and core come together, may help you build yours http://www.ftrs.com.au/honeycomb/make_a_core.php -

Mack Superliner
Tony Bryan replied to MoparWoman Jamie's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Here is another tip : get rid of the solder with the flux core, it makes to much of a mess with the brass, and needs to be pickled after you have finished (dipped in acid) to clean it off, I use a liquid flux, where a little goes a long way This is what you can do with just sheet stock, all have been bent and formed -
Mack Superliner
Tony Bryan replied to MoparWoman Jamie's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
It would have been easier to form the top tank over a buck, by using sheet stock, less solder needed and a cleaner finish, with brass you don't need a lot of solder to join it as long as the joints are tight and clean, it would also be easier for you if you made a jig so that you could stack the fins in place to solder,(I would have used shim brass) then use the core as a separate part into the radiator frame Working with brass takes a bit of forward thinking to achieve the same results as you would get with plastic, especially with the way heat flows and how it effects the other solder joints Here is a tip for soldering, cut your self a very small piece of solder, then lay it on the joint your are soldering, apply the heat and watch it flow, into the joint, -

Teresi: "Dyno Drags" Semi-Truck
Tony Bryan replied to John Teresi's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Nobody can make a perfect model, well I disagree, either you only look at this forum, or you don't research any subjects at all, here is someone that is the best and builds a perfect model..... and from the 60's before all the modern machinery, all hand fabricated, and far surpasses Gerald Wingrove Read the whole story, and then look at what he has achieved with old school talent ferrari every part hand made, and if this doesn't sway you then try this one, 15, 000 hours work builds something spectacular Model Engineers—Louis Chenot What a lot of people do not realise, it is not a race to see who can build the most, but a hobby that lets you build your skills as you build, the more time and effort you put into some thing, the better it will be, it does truely amaze's me of what people can achieve when they have talent, or encouragement Would have to agree,
