Stefan Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Hi, this is the first (and last :wink: ) big rig i´ve ever build: An Italeri Ford with an italeri trailer. I´ve shortened the chassis of the truck 3cm´s , the sleeper is also shorter and its roof is scratchbuild. The dors are hinged with brass hinges. I´ve added some scratchbuild details, like the rear fenders and the grille-net. Most of the crome parts are done with alcladII. Don´t ask me why i did it :roll: ... It works well on smaller parts but on big parts like the bumper it is not good, because it is not very scratch and "finger" resistant. The trailer is build oob, except for the 10cm shortening. Today I know that the trailer rims are wrong. All the decals are homemade by a club-fellow. I hope you like it... ...ans allways remember: don´t take your pics in the noons sun!

ultraliner13 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 A great build. Well done on the photography. I noticed you opened the drivers door. I would like to know how you made the hinges. Cheers John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 I would like to know how you made the hinges. @John: I used brass hinges which are for (big) modelships. They had the perfect size and i didn´t need to scratchbuild them. BTW, both doors are hinged :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseldoc Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I like it, looks very good. I like the details you added to make it look like the fog light les is broken. The front bumper don't look bad to me. keep up the awesome work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
