My First build
2 Attachment(s)
This is my first attempt at this ;) Not to sure what to say but it's a work in progress. I am waiting for parts from Tamiya and Precision trucking to finish it off. As I gain knowledge and skill I plan on building from Scratch. Thanks for taking a look. :)

Re: My First build
Great looking truck and trailer combo..
|
Re: My First build
Very cool indeed. Is this gonna be a hay hauler?

Re: My First build
I'm actually going to be using it as a teaching tool. I am a turnpike driver up here in Canada. The company I work for has turned me into an instructor. So once this is done I need to build 2 53ft vans as well as a C-converter and a tandem axle A-converter. It will be easier for me to teach if I have props plus it will get the guys more eager to listen to me if I have stuff like this. But most of all I get to have an excuse to build this stuff. ;)

Re: My First build
Really nice combo...your off to a great start...once you get started you can't stop...:p:p:p:D:D:cool::eek:

Re: My First build

Re: My First build
Thank you Cossett, for the assisstance with the Images.

Re: My First build
love the rear suspension how much did that set you back
|
Re: My First build
The suspension is from The Bone Yard. It's really nice suspension. I think he sells it for $75 an axle. I bought it off eBay but I noticed he is in the vendors on here.

Re: My First build

Re: My First build
Nice looking combo. Welcome to the forum.
|
Re: My First build
I must look up that suspension, great realism. It adds nicely to your truck. Did you make a dolly yourself?
|
Re: My First build
Actually, looking at your pics again, I don't see a dolly. Looks like you stretched out the rear of one of the flatbeds and added an axle and a fifth wheel. Would that be correct? If so, clever, nice work.
|
Re: My First build
Yeah this one is a B- train style. Fifth wheel is attached permentaly to the lead trailer. Both trailers are getting new frame rails. Lower them 1/2 inch from original. I ordered the triden suspension off of the 56319 tridem. That's about 3 weeks away yet.
I do have a converter coming from garden trucking though. Thinking that should be here Monday along with my headache rack and inter axle driveshaft. I should have some more pics up tomorrow. :) |
Re: My First build
Great looking build :D
|
Re: My First build
Ok here is some new pics of my progress of The Truck and the B box. Changed the tires on the truck to more realistic truck tires, plus installed the rear end. Just waitng for parts so I can finish the truck off for now. The trailer I chopped 1/2 inch off the frame rails as well moved the Tandem right to the back.

Re: My First build
Msmaddie, great work! For a first build it's really fantastic and it stands out there. The purple is great. I love the trailer combo and the fact that you will be using these as instructor aids to teach new drivers is pretty cool. Well done and keep us posted on the 53' vans.
|
Re: My First build
Pretty well finished the back trailer, now starting on the lead.

Re: My First build
**** good start tractor is looking good
|
Re: My First build
Nice progress! Love the flaps in front of the landing gear on the one trailer....seen that on a few trucks that run down here in the states from up north and not only does it look cool but serves a purpose as well!
Keep the pics coming!:) -Alex |
Re: My First build
Amazing build! Nice metal work!
-Paul |
Re: My First build
Nice looking trailers.
Every time I see those stock shocks they make me cringe. I really need to start making shocks again. |
Re: My First build
I agree it that goes for the complete suspension system. I'm taking a shot at doing my own air ride system. Just figuring out the bags now. I so need a lathe.
|
Re: My First build
Alright finally got the suspension built. Ithink it turned out well for my first attempt. :) I hope to have it painted and assembled by the end of the week. :)

Re: My First build
This just keeps getting better and better.
I'm just amazed on your "first" build, can't wait to see the next one.:D:D:D Keep up the excellent work MsMaddie.;):):cool: Big John |
Re: My First build
really nice work - I like how you did the front 'frameless' look - I'll have to go back and do some more research on your thread. And that B-Train turned out very nice.
