Re: Hello from Germany

Hello Papabaer. I like where your King Volvo is going. Do you run sound units with your rigs? Do you have more details of your Granite 6x6 dumper? Post up a build thread. Your english is very good.

Re: Tamiya support legs fitted to a carson low loader

Nice work. Having the electric legs on two trailers, I know how great an upgrade this is for your low loader.

Re: King Hauler - Yet another W900

Thanks Snowman. We'll see if it actually comes out looking like a KW. I'm not having any luck sourcing a grill. I started painting the cab and built the stacks while waiting for the black coat to...

King Hauler - Yet another W900

Last summer, my son and I went halvesies on a fully-loaded RTR Knight Hauler with box trailer. Because one wasn't enough, this winter, we went halvesies on a loaded King Hauler. Not quite RTR but a...

Re: Scratch-Built Flatbed

Re: Scratch-Built Flatbed

And here is the inspiration I needed to finish the trailer, a newly acquired King Hauler. The King came with a box trailer but I knew the flatbed would be perfect for it. I was right.

Re: Scratch-Built Flatbed

After a long break, and a little inspiration, it's time to get back on the flatbed. I finally got around to making the bulkhead. It came out great and it really finished off the trailer. And it is...

Re: Scratch-Built Flatbed

I am really happy with how it is shaping up. I have been looking at how I can fit lights but it probably won't happen.

Re: Scratch-Built Flatbed

Painted and assembled. Still some bumper work left as well as some additional details. Also, the wheels look toyish. They are in need of some weathering.

Re: Scratch-Built Flatbed

Finished up the deck and started paint. The deck boards are 1/16" x 1/2" x 36" balsa strips stained with dark walnut and then lightly sanded to simulate weathering. The boards are glued to a sheet of...

Re: Scratch-Built Flatbed

I learned to appreciate how useful the Bruders are on this build. And though pricey, they are relatively inexpensive compared to Wedico and Tamiya stuff. Not totally comparable but very usable.

Re: My new collection

Ha! I wouldn't want a camera to get in the way of my collecting either. There's a lot of box art rigs there.

What dry van trailer is that?

Re: Scratch-Built Flatbed

I was happy with the neatness of the Bruder rear bumper but it was European so I got to work on a U.S. bumper. I styled it after Great Dane bumpers.

Re: Scratch-Built Flatbed

I found a set of landing gear in our box of leftover Knight Hauler parts. Our dry box trailer has electric landing gear so this was the original gear from the Tamiya dry van. The chassis rails of the...

Re: Scratch-Built Flatbed

I made the base for the deck out of two sheets of 8" x 18" steel trimmed to 7 1/4" which is approx 102" scale. The sheets are attached to the chassis rails using small bolts. I framed the steel with...
