Semi Trailer Mechanic Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 What's goin' on... Here's something different. This is from the reissued AMT Trailmobile double header kit only I modified it slightly. Thanks for looking!!!
mageckman Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Very, very nice job. The interior looks almost exactly like one of the trailers I load and unload several times a week at work. Excellent.
Greg Cullinan Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Looking good,very realistic. Does a 1/24th or 1/25th car fit inside?
Rick Schmidt Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Man the inside of that trailer looks like the one that comes and picks up our used tires .... Except it aint got big holes in the roof lol Too bad the wind got up and knocked it on its side tho ....hope ya can right it and it aint too messed up
Semi Trailer Mechanic Posted September 21, 2009 Author Posted September 21, 2009 What's goin' on... Thanks for the compliments fellas. As far as what truck I'll build for this I have no clue. I started building an old Diamond Reo but considering the truck now is nearly longer than this trailer I'll have to build another truck. Maybe make a day cab GMC Astro? The threshold plate warpage wasn't planned!!! Since the floorboards are strips of basswood I used Walthers GOO to attatch the diamond plate (Plastruct 1:100) but the glue was too hot and it warped it. I tried removing that and starting over but getting that off would've caused some damage so I left it. here's a picture I just took of the AMT Duster inside. This one is 25th scale so I'm sure a 24th scale car can fit too. To hide the warped threshold plate I was thinking about scratchbuilding palletized freight using cling wrap as shrink wrap.
RodneyBad Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Great looking trailer. True to the 1:1s Great weathering and hard use.
Trendsetta68 Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 I loooove the details on the inside of the trailer !!! Great job !!!
Hermann Kersten Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 Very nice done, look like real. Hermann.
lordorion1974 Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 Nice looking trailer and one I would like to add to the back of my Mack DM600, if I ever get it done! Oh, and "Up the Irons!"
kilrathy10 Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 It's gonna be cool whatever rig you use.... Man, that's some good weathering....
