Re: Scaleart - assembling an Arocs 8x8 roll on roll off kipper

I'll post some pics of it tomorrow. Once it's in the truck it is barely visible. Not as impressive as the one on your Jeep though. Ready assembled and greased too, just like the axles.

Think I...

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS

Looks good lowered, but in real life, a truck like that wouldn't last 5 minutes on the roads here in Malaysia :)

Re: Scaleart - assembling an Arocs 8x8 roll on roll off kipper

Started assembling the wheels. The front ones just bolt on, the rear ones need to be bolted together.

The front gets a wide tire. The rear 2 thinner ones each side.

Re: Capo 1:8 Jeep CD15823

It's the parking brake. It's located on the back of the transfer case.

Re: A VOLVO and a couple of KINGS

Your collection is eye candy for sure - and your painter knows his business. Superb finishes that contribute to the total look. Nice!

Re: Capo 1:8 Jeep CD15823

Yes, the Defender was (or is, still not sold, sitting at dealer on consignment) a 1:1 truck. Very very nice car if you like primitive, noisy, cramped and kind of unreliable :) ... Wouldn't have used...

Re: Capo 1:8 Jeep CD15823

The gears in the gearbox and transfer case look up to the job, not like the brass gears they used in the Capo. I presume the brass on the motor will be up to the task and in worst case would be a...

Rear axles .. here a picture of all the parts. (forgot the leaf spring bits)

The bits in the "ScaleART" plastic were in the boxes with the axles. The other parts were in the "rear suspension"...

Re: Scaleart - assembling an Arocs 8x8 roll on roll off kipper

Yes, Prop, Roundabout, the parts of this kit are really something else. Pictures just don't do it for the detail and care with which they were made. They also keep updating and improving the parts,...

Re: Hoarder Special!

Absolutely beautiful work! Hard to believe you just start out with a sketch on a piece of paper! Love the little details you've already put in place.

Respect!

Re: Premacon R956/960 question

Re: Capo 1:8 Jeep CD15823

Neat solution on the steering linkage! You are a brave man bending things on such a pricy kit. :)
Weird that they choose to have the steering done by cables. Even more so with the distance between...

Re: Scaleart - assembling an Arocs 8x8 roll on roll off kipper

The second axle is the same. Here I filed the little screw on top down to about 3mm. Because this is the throughput axle I was a bit concerned that at 5mm the end of the screw might interfere with...

Re: Scaleart - assembling an Arocs 8x8 roll on roll off kipper

Some progress. Got both front axles and the steering linkage installed :)

The steering linkage from 1st to 2nd front axle went on first. This serves to make the radius of the turn slightly...

Re: Scaleart - assembling an Arocs 8x8 roll on roll off kipper

OK, was lucky and the local hardware store had one in stock. Masked the area with some paper, couple of shots to paint and we're back in business.

Decided not to move the support because the next...

Re: Scaleart - assembling an Arocs 8x8 roll on roll off kipper

Hi Ap, that's good to know! Some of their stuff is pretty nice.

Here meanwhile ... got a bit better at getting screws into small holes, but now a minor set back because of a paint issue. When I...

Re: Premacon R956/960 question

Here a picture I found on a Dutch forum. The pic comes from the Premacon site. It shows both the 944 and 956. (the 944 is the demolition model). Gives you an idea about the size comparison.

Re: Capo 1:8 Jeep CD15823

Re: Scaleart - assembling an Arocs 8x8 roll on roll off kipper

Re: Scaleart - assembling an Arocs 8x8 roll on roll off kipper

Hi Prop,

The scale of this truck is 14.5, as for how much I paid, € 6143.29 for the truck and € 470 shipping via UPS (that includes the €25 for the prep of the custom forms). That does not...
