My latest in progress

[loghauler70]

Here is my latest in progress. It is a Peterbilt 367 from P&P resins. It has scratch built frame rails and lift axle. I built it after a 2008 model that I saw at the Oregon logging conference and then later in a DSU peterbilt add in My little salesman.

That looks wonderful! What size C Channel did you use for the frame?

Hello Mathiew

Seems to me he scatchbuilt the chanel. He probably used the same technique I do to prepare my frame chanels.

I cut a stip of styrene the height of the channel and glue a upper and lower stip of evergreen on the strip to make the channel.

I have attached 2 photos showing this technique.

Once the upper and lower evergreen stips are well glued I use a file and round the corners to make it look like the real frame rails.

Hope this helps.

Best regards Daniel Gailloux

Hello Mathew

Last post the attached photo did not show so I am retrying to see if it will work this time.

I forgot a step when selecting the file.

Now they are attached.

Hello

Thanks for the kind words. Ya you are kinda right on the frame. I used Evergreen 351 for the rail and 256 for the flanges.

Thanks for the info and the numbers, Mark. Thank you, too, Daniel, for showing the technique. That should make my next long frame truck much easier.
