camaro68 Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 That would be nice some different trailers
martinfan5 Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 Just asking questions. This is the time before final production, then the real complaining by some will begin! I agree, but that can easily lead to nit picking, and thats the last thing we need, or least do it in away that comes off as trying to be helpful, thats all
Dave Metzner Posted February 29, 2012 Author Posted February 29, 2012 Nothing to report regarding future plans for more trailer kits. There are a couple things we'd like to do. We'll make more solid plans after we get this one done and on the store shelves. as to gap between trailer and top of tractor frame - When it's on the LoneStar is just clear the tops of the rubber flaps on the 1/4 fenders. I don't think that you'd want it to sit too much lower. No rivets on the front wall once you have the reefer unit on it ther's not much left to see.
chuckyr Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the reply. You mentioned that it could be built as a dry van and the front bulkhead would be exposed at that point. Edited October 2, 2012 by Casey
metalhead Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Thanks for the response, Dave. I'm really looking foward to buying several of the Prostars and the trailers. RYAN.
Dave Metzner Posted March 31, 2012 Author Posted March 31, 2012 Here are some shots of a second test shot of the Moebius Great Dane 53 ft reefer. This is pretty much what the finished model will look like. there are only minor adjustments to be made in areas of the model that are unseen when everything is stuck together Dave
martinfan5 Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 Dave, thanks for the test shots, the trailer is looking very good, cant wait to get one
Wagoneer81 Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 Very nice! I look forward to buidling SEVERAL of these! Trailer and truck each!
Dave Metzner Posted March 31, 2012 Author Posted March 31, 2012 The Tractor is Houe of Kolors Passion Pearl.. Dave
highway Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 That trailer is GREAT!! I'm not sure if you mentioned it before, but will it have ERB markings like the Lonestar? I've been noticing ERB trucks while on the road and noticed most of their trailers are these Great Danes. I'd love to build a nice ERB Lonestar and trailer after I figure out someway to build while I'm living in the house that Peterbilt! Also, I notice you live in Mishawaka. Maybe sometime we could meet up and you can get some ideas for hopefully a couple more future Moebius kits, a 2012 Peterbilt 386 and Wabash 53 foot dry van with Werner markings!
Dave Metzner Posted March 31, 2012 Author Posted March 31, 2012 Yes the kit will have a set of current Erb Transport decals - to match the LoneStar..
highway Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 Yes the kit will have a set of current Erb Transport decals - to match the LoneStar.. COOL! I have to start getting some reference pics at the truck stops!
chuckyr Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 Looks nice. Will the Thermo King unit have the proper decals? (Logo, Model Designation, control panel decals, etc)
jekylljr Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 Dave amazing work with this trailer erb details will suit this trailer perfectly good choice keep up the amazing work
Ben Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks again for sharing these pics with us!!!!!!
Dave Metzner Posted April 1, 2012 Author Posted April 1, 2012 Sorry, there will be no Thermo King logos etc.. we have no license for that right now. Dave
chuckyr Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 Sorry, there will be no Thermo King logos etc.. we have no license for that right now. Dave Interesting. I guess I will have to fire up my Alps!
Danno Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 Sorry, there will be no Thermo King logos etc.. we have no license for that right now. Dave Well, that'll give Keith Marks something to do. -
cowboysevens Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 thanks a bunch for keeping us informed with the new builds dave, it is much apreciated. yall have done a fine job. i cant wait to get my hands on a couple of them trailers and prostars !!!!!
Truck parts Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Dave , Thank you for the updates,and looking to more kits down the road.
ewaskew Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 You guys seen this trailer fully built and decorated on Tim's trucks site? It's a looker! I could imagine one with the sides all finished with baremetal foil... It sure looks good without joints down the sides and roof. Tons of customs are going to be built off this kit. 3 axles, 3 axles with lift axle, no reefer unit, spread axles with tool boxes, custom painted ones, trains, stainless sides, you name it. Now if I could just get myself to build a tractor to put in front of one! I agree with you man this thing can go sooooo many ways when it comes to building one up. I'm waiting for one for a custom O/O KW that I have planned. Any idea of a release date Dave?
