This is incredible, I am so impressed with the Ford. Nice work all the way around and Those fender mirrors are the coolest !

The lowboy is equally impressive ! B)

Great work on both the truck,and trailer. What size of material did you use to build the frame rails?

Thank you.To make stringers, I used su styrenne 0.030

Awesome build! The shackles and chains on the low boy add so much detail, and their hand made wow

Speechless

Thank you

Nothing ordinary about this build, Man.....Very skillful piece of work.....Your cuts for your I beams and such are amazing....Those are tough to get consistent.....And the weathering is spot on.....Beautiful, Man....

Thank you JT, for your comments.I find it ordinary because I does not vibrate on this model.But it'll work with the Ford.

I had not yet decided that it loads I will put on the float. I decide to place the loader Cat even if it's a cast. I do not so much like it but at the moment I don't have time to make a loader, is for later. So, I will give it a look closer as possible of the real.

I'll remove the teeth on the bucket, chancher pines of cylinders, put the hoses hydr. place driving cylinders and put a can of Sridharan in the trous.je'll add parts that are missing and then painting it with a paint worn for the weathering.

Alain,

Great job on the truck and trailer. I love them both. The diecast loader will make a good load for this lightweight lowboy.

Be Well

Thank you friends. I love build a loader, but this summer I have two very large projects, more important. I'll try to do a realistic loader with this cast.

Looks like it has plenty of potential to be a good load.....I know you'll make it look realistic enough....

Thank JT, I'll try.

A small advanced, I'm pretty limited in my details on this Cat there is not great details on the internet and in my files I very may on this small charger. I still found pictures with some Details.comme usual when you seek a 1/1 original you is never so that's the opposite when you didn't need.

The truck and trailer lok really good. I am interested to see what other changes you make on the loader>.

What paint is that you used on the Ford cab?

Thanks Marc, I used paint Model Master acryl and Italeri acrylicpaint.There is also the Testors Astek opaque, I think it's too complicated to play with the clear to obtain the desired gloss.
