alangarber Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 Nice, They all look great I'd love to build one of those but the price of styrene here is too crazy. Hopefully someone will make a kit like that. Great Job
Dirt Demon Posted July 20, 2014 Author Posted July 20, 2014 It wasnt to bad on the wallet to build this Alan, just time consuming. I think I have more money tied up in the Moebius wheel and tire sets....(2 sets)... than I do in styrene.
alangarber Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 Here the prices are just wicked Sheets for 2 are almost $5 and tubing for 3 peices are $4 . It looks great I need something like that for my D8. You did a great job on it
Dirt Demon Posted July 20, 2014 Author Posted July 20, 2014 Thanks Alan, believe it or not this was my first ever attempt at building one of these trailers. It was a fun build and it really didnt take all that long to build. Once I scaled everything down.... it pretty much fell together.
Rign14 Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 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. If I may ask what is your scale app?
BigBad Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 I'm always amazed of people scratch building their stuff! I have seen quite a bit more than just a couple of these lowboys that have been built from plastic sheet and channels (and some wooden planks...). This one is hanging with the best I've seen yet! There definitely is a market for this type of trailer kit.
Madd Trucker Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 great looking rig I hope my trailer turns out looking that good
krazyglu Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Very cool looking build, the low boy is just awesome and you made the excavator look great.
dieseldog1970 Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) Looks awesome!!!! Nice work on both the trailer and the excavator!!! Edited September 4, 2014 by dieseldog1970
Dirt Demon Posted December 24, 2014 Author Posted December 24, 2014 Thanks Charles.... Got a new build in the process as we speak. It's gonna be pulled with another LoneStar like my race transporter build
