jacobus Posted February 15, 2014 Author Posted February 15, 2014 at last a go also on with the volvo after see some old truckers from years ago and talk about drivin to the middle east from out different countrys from europe [ it was good and very bad ] he wil not a clean build here some pictures and how te tyres wil be , before and after hope your like it instead of a nice clean build one thing i must say , i have paint the bumper and fuel tank whit and its now so good if you wanted for a clean and nice build than there is also problems with the white paint and now ...ppfff its now drying and than put it on the frame and make it dirty jacobus
olsbooks Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) You know I like them dirty and well used! Interesting projects you have going! I dont know a thing about the Euro trucks so it always nice to see different things. Jesse Edited February 15, 2014 by olsbooks
jacobus Posted February 16, 2014 Author Posted February 16, 2014 a little update some last things must be done like the windshieldwipers and licenseplate and for transport whit customs and early regulaties of transport true europe a t.i.r. sign [ sort of permit ] and stil dont known witch trailer i do behind jacobus
Brinx Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Great looking weathering job Jacobus....Looks like this rig has been out on the grand European tour!
Kostas Parchas Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Nice old girl!!! Nostalgic... You did it justice and the wheathering is fantastic. As far as I know the most of the trucks where going down to middle east, where hauling canvas trailers so the blue molded one you have there is the most accurate for the build. Kostas.
kilrathy10 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Looks pretty cool, Man....Good job making it look "ugly".....Can't wait to see what trailer you, actually, use....
jacobus Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 now i have some time to go on with the trailer for behind the volvo its wil by white and red and than dirty the trailer wheels wil be red and i have some material to make a diorama with the volvo and trailer jacobus
kilrathy10 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Looking good, Man.....The trailer looks pretty good.....I have a couple of these that need building....I've just never seen a canvas trailer on a container chassis, before.....It's always bugged me.....Doesn't mean it can't be done, though......Can't wait to see this one finished.....Just gotta see what you do to it.....
jacobus Posted April 28, 2014 Author Posted April 28, 2014 have found some time to make the trailer a little dirt but for i go on a must do the tirline gold-yellow [ thats the line you see zigzag on the sail ] than you can close the trailer and the customs put a seal on , than when you came on the border the customs from that country check the seal of its not broken jacobus
Tesla Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Great looking truck Jacobus...looks like it works hard!
kilrathy10 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Oh, yeah....Now it's coming together, Man.....Excellent weathering, as usual.....You've got some skills, Buddy.....

Old Buckaroo Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 That is one dirty truck, looks like the trucks here in Montana. Nicely done ! I bet those were some unforgettable trips you went on. Was there anywhere good to stop and eat along the way ?
