Herman your details really make the Frightliner look fantastic. Looking forward to seeing it finished.

Here’s a sample of what I’m working towards.

Nice work on your build looking forward to seeing it under glass.

Thanks Brian. Worked on building the steering hydraulics for all 6 wheel assemblies. I’m getting close to being ready to paint this one but I’m probably going to have to wait on the weather to clear up.

Tom this project is going to use up the entire length of road way that I have where the lowboy is. Here’s transporter #1 with black wheels.

Very nice I like your modifications.

Thanks Jeff it’s taken me over 15 years to be able to get it. Spencer yeah you’re correct there’s a lot of resin parts And white metal parts plus parts that need to be cut to fit. Here’s my test fit up with the wheels.

My current updates started painting the tires and assembling the frame on transporter #3.

Thanks for your comments guys. Yes its got a Hemi.

This is a resin body Power Wagon with very little detail I’ve used the AMT Jeep Commando kit for my donor.

Looking good Brian and looking forward to seeing where you go with your build.

Nice progress.

Thanks for your comments Jeff. I’ve got the shelf space covered with my new model room wall of shelf’s.

We have had some nice weather here for painting so I now have transporter #1 now painted except for some black for the tires.

Jimmy nice looking day cab. Looking forward to seeing it finished.

Looking forward to seeing your build of this KW.

I’ve primed modular transporter #1 and starting on modular transporter #3. Transporter #3&4 are newer models and have a little more deck height than the older modular transporter #1&2 but it’s not going to be a problem I’ll make up the difference in the saddles supports on the vessel.

Awesome build!

Thanks Brian this is just one of the four transporters I have to build.

Tom, you’re not losing your marbles lol. Last year I made a attempt to start this build but with having my new home built and packing and unpacking plus moving I didn’t get any where on the build. Now I’m moved In and have my new model room set up I’m back building again. Thanks for remembering.

Here’s my wheel assembly update.

Thanks for all your comments. Next will be to drill holes for the hydraulic lines that adjust the ride height on the transporter and the steering. I’m hoping to get some paint on this one by the end of the week.

I’m making progress cleaning up all the parts and trimming them. I’ve glued the frame together and now working on each of the wheel assemblies. Here’s where I’m at now.

I have been planning this Heavy Haul project for a couple years now and I’m excited to get started on it. I made a attempt last year to start this project but with having a new home built and the packing and moving well here it is a year later but I’m in my new home with my new model room set up. The project is going to be a Mack DM800 pulling a refinery vessel on 4 sets of Scheuerle 3 axle module transporters. The Mack is the MPC kit, 3 axle module transporters are from KFS and the refinery vessel will be scratch built using Dan’s engineering design (40 years working in engineering and construction building refineries will have some help). Starting with the Scheuerle 3 axle module transporters and every piece has to have a lot trimmed off. There’s going to be a lot of measurements figured out to. Here’s some pictures of what I’m starting with.
