Vince66 Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 Like the Mack R lots of scratchbuilding ahead on this one. Frame, suspension, axles, ect ect. As for the trailer the kit I bought is very rough pewter so I will be remaking the parts from evergreen plastic using the metal kit as a guide. Will also be building a jeep and dog for this trailer. Lots on my plate as you can see.
Jimbo8v92 Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 These 1/87 scales are cool man!...way to small for my fingers lol but cant wait to see them together.
Vince66 Posted March 6, 2019 Author Posted March 6, 2019 Thanks Jim yea their small. Be interesting to see how they turn out.

Vince66 Posted March 6, 2019 Author Posted March 6, 2019 Yes the trailer is from alloy forms casting is fairly bad/rough mostly due to age of the molds that's why it's going to be used as my pattern. To be redone out of plastic. The cabs came from Canada from a guy on fleabay that goes by Wreckmodels. Watch his pricing it varies for the same cab sometimes $7.95 other times as high as $19.95. I wait till it's low then buy also watch his shipping prices.
Vince66 Posted March 11, 2019 Author Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) Got some new details in today Horns, short, medium, long these will both go on this and the Mack. Also got these 5 spoke trailer tires/rims for the Jeep & Trailer still need to order the dog set. Edited March 13, 2019 by NothingAsFineAsaW9
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 You guys amaze me with this small scale stuff!!!!
Pete68 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Get the LeeTown if you can it was the first one made the molds were wore out when Alloy forms/jaks got them they redone the fenders and made them to wide also Lee town has the diamond plate on top of the fender.
Vince66 Posted March 13, 2019 Author Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) Pete as to the scratchbuilding it was in reference of the lowboy trailers main body. The cab came from Canada and is a decent casting with minimal cleanup. Thanks though for the thought. Edited March 13, 2019 by NothingAsFineAsaW9

Vince66 Posted April 17, 2019 Author Posted April 17, 2019 If it was any other scales i would need a medieval roasting platter ? thanks Sam TDF. Trailer frame and crossmber material along with rear end jeep framing when I get there. Started sizing up this trailer as the manufactured one is a joke pics on that later. And yes it will get a wood deck carrying an O.D. Excavator 1970's era.
