Try drawing them in 3D and have them printed. I have done that for big rigs. Hessel the Netherlands

As I said the kit is fairly detailed. Some lighting to be fixxed. With a small lesson from my friend I have now dry brushed some parts. The result looks fine by me. And with some minor things to be done it is almost finished. The next post will probably the final one. Hessel

Yes, we have developed a cement-trailer which will be in production soon. The hole project is on a dutch forum. Pics will tell a lot... 3D printed and CNC milled parts with Italeri tires and some minor Evergreen tubing. http://www.modelbrouwers.nl/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=36265&start=190 Hessel

Thanks all for the compliments. I will take some photo's soon to share. First a weekend with the guys from DMTC about our new trailer.... Hessel

While doing some building during a rainy day you realize you did not take photo's.... So the model is come a long way... And some details. The kit is quite detailed so no worries about that.

Parts were partly assembled and painted. Some photo's.

Without the Chrome a complete different kind of truck. Looking good !!

Recently the Mack 1926 tanker truck was re-issued by Monogram. I had the original one on the shelf so decided to give it a go. I had the dump truck and stake version of the mack already build. The kit is pretty good quality and with lots of small details. Building is not that difficult although the instruction need to be followed accurate. Hessel Photo's:

Something as a tip. When fixing the cab mount you best line-out with the floor of the cab. The front support is not straight so needs to be fixed in the right position. The following link might help you. Sorry it is in German but a good translator would do. http://www.die-leitplanke.de/1-herzlich-willkommen/4-modelle-im-bau-gebaut/international-lone-star-gebaut/ Hessel

Looks great. Are the parts cut by hand or did you use CNC? I have several plans for making trailers. Nice to see some else does the same. Hessel

Some other models you said: http://www.modelbrouwers.nl/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=35401 http://www.modelbrouwers.nl/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=31573 http://www.modelbrouwers.nl/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=162&t=30357 the oncoming weekend we will be at the 'on the road' exhibition in Jabbeke, Belgium. If you have the change to visit it once.... Hessel

Hi everyone. I need to share the skills of one one of my friends. He has build a crane so fantastic. Please look at the photo's and enjoy. The forum is in Dutch but the photo's.... page 44 gives the final result http://www.modelbrouwers.nl/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=40048 Hessel

Thanks to you all. I'm now working on a 4-axle sidumpr trailer. Will get back with the plans in time. Hessel

Well, I finally found some time to finish this trailer. Now only some sign plates on the rear have toe be fixed. Hessel

Looks a bit like the one I developed. No offense this one looks great. http://public.fotki.com/H-A/truck-modelling/doonan-dropdeck/ Hessel

Please take a look at my friends crane. He's nearly finished with it. Hessel

Well, these pdf drawings are great. I noticed the hood of the VN is much more forward than the VT hood. Anyone there who can tell me about this. Would mean the VN kit will be more modified than I expected. Hessel

If you supply info I might consider making a kit of it. I have been looking for info about bottom/belly dump trailers as well. Drawings on the website are not enough for me. Hessel

Anyone there with information from the Volvo VT880. I have plans to make a VT880 Hood for the Volvo VN kit by Revell/Italeri. Drawings would be perfect but other details are welcome as well. Thanks, Hessel

I have developed these tires in 1:24 for a friend of mine. They were 3D printed. Sent a PM. Hessel

I have plans in the same direction. I already have the M1070 transporter but did not get the dozer yet. I might try to convert the dozer to 1:24/25.... Hessel

Assembling all the wheels and after painting it gives a possibility to dry-fit the rig. I will work on the detailing now. Then the paint job of the parts. Hessel

I have put an ad on a website of second hand stuff for sale. in Holland we have a (ebay owned) site called 'Marktplaats' don't know if you have a similar site in the US. I do my milling at a shop in the neighborhood. This suits me fine Hessel

Sorry, I'm just a math teacher but have worked in shipbuilding for ten years. Engineering is field of interest of course Again a few detail photo's. Hessel

Multicolor is fine by me. Hessel
