Amtronic Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) Since I moved, all my models are packed away in storage since there is no space for building or displaying them anymore. So here are some shots of my builds from back in the day. I went a little overboard with my building - Tim had the market cornered on Pete and KW builds, so I tended toward more esoteric (weird stuff) builds. This first one is of a heavy haul KW T800 - jeep - lowboy - tag dolly. The T800 is a standard T600 with stretched frame, the hood assembly is a cut and modded combo of W925 and T600 hoods. In this photo, I have done the weathering on the jeep but not the truck or trailer parts. Edited January 24 by Amtronic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtronic Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 This one is a mostly scratchbuilt dump trailer, using the dump trailer frame and axles. The body is modeled after a bulk fertilizer haul trailer manufactured by Killebrew Mfg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtronic Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 I liked taking the lowboy trailer and cutting it up and making a more modern lowboy trailer from the parts. This one has as a load a scratchbuilt loader that used the tires and wheels from a monster truck kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtronic Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 This is a pipe laying dozer, using the stock bulldozer with the blade removed and scratchbuilt pipe boom and side weights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtronic Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 My building got increasingly more erratic and over the top. This one is the last one I attempted, and never finished since the move interrupted it. The first couple photos are of the real item, a salt harvester down in Mexico. The rest are of the build in progress and mock-up to judge the stance etc. I never went for an exact duplicate of the real equipment, using them more for inspiration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtronic Posted January 24 Author Share Posted January 24 This one I did manage to finish. A off-road coal truck and trailer using the IH pay dump truck and a lot of plastic stock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leafsprings Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Great collection! Custom built oversize heavy off road equipment sure does take up a lot of space. Your modified truck kits all show a lot of creativity and look sharp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
