Scale I Build

Found 1 result

  1. Hello Everybody Okay, before everyone starts yelling and complaining that I have several builds going right now. And that I should stick to one or the other. I'm not actually starting on this build yet. It's more of a whats coming down the line kinda thing. Just to let you guys all know what goes on in the depths of my mind (and that can be dangerous 😁) Okay, this will be another construction equipment build. It will go along with my Payhauler 350, XL SPECIALIZED XL120 RGN Lowboy trailer, jeep & stinger, the "BS" Peterbilt 359 HH, my 1/25 (diecast) first gear 560 Payloader, AMT Cat D8H dozer, plus a few other rigs that will fall into that category. Well what is it you say? A 1/24 AMT Ford LTL 9000 tractor kit turned into a Dumptruck with a Ertl IH 5000 Paystar dump box, resin Cat 3406, 18spd Eaton Fuller transmission, front Bridgestone M844 425 floats, roadX DD990 24.5 drive tires, 5- hole Budds with lots of detail work. A 1/25 Revell heavy duty trailer that I'm going to convert into a pintle hitch deckover equipment trailer. I will be converting into a dual axle instead of a tri-axle so I'm getting a different suspension system for it. And last but not least a AMT John Deere 310 Backhoe. I am going to make all the cylinders work on it plus detail and weather it up. Here are some pictures for yous all to look at. This is the kit I'm using. This is the dump box I'm going to use. It's temperaly sitting on a Italeri Peterbilt 378. Either this rear suspension. Or this one, I haven't made up my mind yet. Hopefully it will look something like this, but with out the lift axle. This is the AMT John Deere Backhoe kit I'll be using. This is the Revell trailer kit. This is what I'm shooting for. It won't be exactly like it, but I'll get as close as I can. These are the two sides of the trailer. Top one I modified into a dual axle set-up. Bottom one is the kit part before modifications. This view shows the rear drop portion, deck and neck of the trailer. This is the scratch built neck that I made. This view shows the neck tool box lid and the piano hinge at the rear of it. This view shows that the lid actually opens up via a hidden masking tape hinge. This is the under side of the trailer deck. This shows how the neck will attach to the deck. There is a absolute TON of work to be done on these builds, but I hVe to finish the Payhauler and the "BS" Peterbilt first. Well thanks for looking in and I hope you liked it. I hope this is something everyone here wants to see. It is what I love to do. Bye for now Ron G
