kilrathy10 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) I'm gonna call this one done.....For now, anyway....I'm not sure about this one, though.....It NEEDS something.....I've got an idea for a load for it, but for now, I'm just using these pallets from a couple of 1/32 scale Newray models..

Petetrucker07 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) Looks great. Its probably too late, but maybe its missing this, painted fenders and skirts? Maybe add some marker lights on the truck and trailer. Just a thought. Very nice work. Edited November 3, 2014 by Petetrucker07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris guthro Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Use a couple pickup boxes painted up and strapped on, maybe even a hood strapped to a pallet. Like a load of southern auto parts! Very nice job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalhead Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) I have an idea for the load on the trailer. How about a mobile Home Depot sign? Edited November 4, 2014 by metalhead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilrathy10 Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) I totally couldn't stand looking at it !!!! I HAD to stretch this thing.....I think it looks much better, now..... I added 2" and some tool boxes to it, and I'm very pleased with the result....Gonna have to rewrap that tarp, though.....I hope you guys think the same.....

Petetrucker07 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Yeah, the tarp doesnt look tight enough. Your gonna loose it as soon as you hit the highway. Maybe go thinner material. It does look better stretched. You can haul 70 foot steel now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kostas Parchas Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Hi JT, Yeah, its a Peterbilt, its a flatbed hauler, so it should have been streched allready before you even open the box to build it. She is beautyful and I like the idea of the load. Kostas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1930fordpickup Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Looks better with the load for sure. Keep a look out under the tree for odd shaped packaging next week . You might get some ideas for a tarped load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Nice... but tell your driver he needs to have at least one hand on the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olsbooks Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Well done and another fine work. 2 thoughts for your "display". 1) If you get to Home Depot/Lowes or a good hardware store, pick up some of that self adhesive anti slip black traction tape. It comes wide and is usually sold by the foot. Makes a darn nice roadbed.. Then just fling some thick gloss black for tar filled cracks and/or grind in a little dirt with your finger to further dull out the areas worn by tires. 2) Consider a diluted wash of cheap flat black acrylic or black charcoal dust on your peeps and puppies. Nice way to kill the gloss and bring out the detail. A little gentle wiping with a clean, dry Q tip once dry really makes 'em look pretty good. Great job....as usual. You da man! .
