Dirt Demon Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Well guys, I finished awhile back, just have'nt posted any updates......the chain binders are fully functional, they came from KFS. Still have to put the glass in the excavator and more weathering.
tbill Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 great build! looks awesome Bill. guys, I've seen the truck in person, and it is dynamite, I can't wait to see the trailer and excavator in person at the next local show.
BigBad Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Awesome!!! Are you looking at this Revell, Moebius and AMT? This is the trailer I WANT! Beautiful!!! Excellent work Bill!
landman Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) Dis you take the measurements off a real trailer or were you able to obtain drawings? Also, is that excavator a kit or a die-cast promo? Edited July 15, 2014 by landman
Dirt Demon Posted July 15, 2014 Author Posted July 15, 2014 Thanks for all the kind words guys. Pat, I got the measurements from COZAD trailers, and used my scale app to make it to 1/25 scale. The excavator is actually a New Ray plastic toy one. I took it all apart ,repainted it, made my own decals, and weathered it to look like a real one, and not a toy.
Dirt Demon Posted July 15, 2014 Author Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) This truck and my Logging truck will be at syrcon and Fulton this year Tom Edited July 15, 2014 by Dirt Demon
purepmd Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Excellent work! The trailer is stunning, and the excavator is as far from toy like as you can get. Well done.
Dirt Demon Posted July 15, 2014 Author Posted July 15, 2014 Thanks Mark, its been a fun learning experience with this one.
