hi i am new here i have been out of the model building for a couple years. well i never realy spent any time getting the scale just right and they never would win any shows i liked building

now i am getting two Revell USA Snap Pete 359 models and a flatdeck trailer to get back into it

one truck i might mod a little and just put the trailer together

the other truck i want to cut the sleeper off of it and put a 20' ( scale ) grain box on it. i will need to scratch build the box and i want to see how i do with that. then i would like to sometime scratch build a set of grain trailers

i have never seen a grain box on a model truck ( grain truck is what we call it ) and i have never ever seen a set of grain trailers has it been done ??

its nice to fine a forum like this to get new ideas and mabe ask some of you guys for some info from time to time to help me get better and i will put pics up of my work

thanks

Scott, Brother ya found the RIGHT place to ask questions! These guys honestly DO know it all! Just ask. We do have a truck section, down near the bottom of the index page. We also got Tim Ahlborn, who lives eats and sleeps trucks! If HE can't answer a truck question, there ain't one!!!Welcome to the forum!!!

Welcome to the Forum . There is a lot of good builder here .To answere your question on the grain trailer. There was to have been an artial done in Model Cars by Guenter Boenisch but I dont think it ever came about that was back in 2003 .It was to be a follow up on correcting the 48 foot box trailer

hello leroy and welcome to the forum, you came to the right place if your biulding model semi trucks. and to answer the question about grain trailers, yes i have seen a few of them biult. the easiest way i think is to take a dry box van and cut it down, then make your hoops and tarp system for the top. good luck and keep us posted please
