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.........
-
Jarda, this looks great, now how about building the trailer for it before "papa clyde"a nice little challenge for you
-
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
-
Great to see something different
-
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
-
That's some extraordinary work, Tony. Your brass work is as neat as a pin. I've done a bit and can appreciate the results you got. Fantastic!
Thank you, I have also made and cast all the rubber mounts for the tanks.....
Wow Tony, that's nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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

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

Love your scratch building skills, engine looks fantastic
-
Jarda, another finely detailed rig in progress, look forward to more updates

Great job on the whole trailer, love to see you build something Australian, like a side lift container trailer, something challenging for you
Do you know what the total parts count was for the cnc parts?

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
-
That is a nice combo, and nicely built too,
-
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,

That is some fine scratch building you are doing
-
Looks great so far, love the paint scheme
-
Lovin the detail
-
Looks great, what have you used to build the trailer?
-
Nice Roy, this is looking the part now, the rivets look great, sure does beat drilling them all
-
Great to see more 1/16th stuff, and this is a cool project
-
Nice work so far, nothing better than a 1/16th scale Cab Over
-
getting close now, it does look real good, big, but real good
-
Nice job on the trailer, what size containers are these able to transport with it extended?
-
Coming along Matt, look forward to getting mine, should have my 1/16th Signature finished in the next month or so
-
I'm pretty sure this was his first semi, and I would like to see you do better.
Looks pretty good to me, only minor imperfections that anybody could miss. Overall, I would say this is the best model I have ever seen, nobody can make a perfect model.
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
Please don't take my comments in the wrong way. First workmanship excellent, second attention to detail great, finally overall appearence nice. But a masterpiece no, the best truck model ever no, distinguishable from the 1;1 yes. Nice work on the graphics and some fine scratch building. The Aeromax/Columbia hybrid just detracts from an otherwise excellent model. I realize there are no models of a Freightliner Columbia in 24/25th scale but I bet you have the skills to fab one up. Giving the model to your father was a great gesture. Again please don't take my comments the wrong way I mean them in the best way.
Would have to agree,

The Aussie version has the traditional cab, not the new cab.
Aussie version, not Aussie copy,
Interesting is the K200 COE has a fold out step, and almost a flat floor like the Argosy
But I still like the look of the T909, which the hood is still the same as the 904

Love the brass work, and the detail from the scratch building is perfect, love your guys work, you both really excel
