Chu Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Hi, since I'm not a scratch builder for now so i decided to buy a 1\32 trailers and use my imagination to develop this projects . I bought Two 1\24 Italeri 20 ft container and two 1\32 esci 20 ft container trailers. I use the container box to measure to cut and stretch the trailer chassis. Here is the two chassis, I also stretch the rear of the original trailer is not a good idea but is work for me.
Chu Posted October 24, 2014 Author Posted October 24, 2014 This one is with the original rear. The other one has parts for the amt trailer (junkyards that i bought in the past) This is the back of the chassis.
Chu Posted October 24, 2014 Author Posted October 24, 2014 I move the king pin to the center. And some photos of these two with my trucks. five spoke spoke ( credit to semi trailer Mechanic for the rim inspiration. or three spoke rims.
Petetrucker07 Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 5 looks better. The 3 look odd on a big wheel. Ive 3 on small rims
Chu Posted October 24, 2014 Author Posted October 24, 2014 This is the grain trailer. I bought Thei Int. in e-bay Three spoke rims from auslowe.
Chu Posted October 24, 2014 Author Posted October 24, 2014 And tha last one my 1\32 trailer semi button dump trailer and my GMC single rear junkyard truck. hope that I can finish at list two until Christmas . I'm open to suggestions with this four is going to be my 12 build so hope you like it. Thanks for looking.

Petetrucker07 Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Ive thought buying 2 of those bottom dump trailers and making 1 out of them. I may just buy those this weekend
Chu Posted October 24, 2014 Author Posted October 24, 2014 Ive thought buying 2 of those bottom dump trailers and making 1 out of them. I may just buy those this weekend i like your idea, I'm looking forward when you work on that project.
kilrathy10 Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 This idea is just crazy enough to work..... The container trailers are coming along nicely, and the belly dump actually, looks good.....Weird how it all looks "right".... Who's to say one trailer manufacturer has to build their trailer to the specs of others....It all looks great to me....
Chu Posted October 26, 2014 Author Posted October 26, 2014 Thanks T.J. Yeah the grain trailer looks weird, I'm think it needs some changes probably use the dremel tool to tear apart an use a stake bed stretch and how it looks. The trailer boogie I can use a pvc tube and make a gasoline trailer but this is gone be for a future project. I have around fourty kits that I collected and I'm planning to build. When I finish those three I'm going to star with the amt mail trailer project with a few changes.
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 Great looking projects. I really enjoy seeing unusual rigs.
Chu Posted November 7, 2014 Author Posted November 7, 2014 Update for the container chassis: Primered and painted not perfect but it works for me!! Thanks for looking!! And with the box container
Chu Posted November 7, 2014 Author Posted November 7, 2014 Looking this chassis there was something bathers me in the way that it looks so I decided to eliminate the rears that I add to the rear trailer and it look way better. An now I'm open to suggestion, critics, etc. Thanks for looking and I'm going to keep posting until it's finished!!
Petetrucker07 Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 That blue looks just like Maersk shipping
Chu Posted April 30, 2015 Author Posted April 30, 2015 Hi there, has been a while since I post any progress. I decided to finish just three of the four trailers science the grain trailer looks out of scale. so tomorrw i hope to upload the crappy Photos of this fun projects. See you tomorow. jesus
gatorincebu Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Jesus, i like the idea for the container trailer. I used to work for a construction company that had several 10x10 and 15x 15 cantainers used for storage on job sites. They were just a bit smalled all the way around than a regular container box if you had cut it down. For your graintrailer. I think I would add a support in the middle for the tarp. Cool projects. be Well Gator
Chu Posted May 1, 2015 Author Posted May 1, 2015 Thank's Marc They are almost ready to put in the underglass. It's getting great Ray this is my first experience in cutting and extend these trailers, is being a good lerning experience to work on these trailer and ike the way trey are right now, not perfect but I like it.
