Re: Project Cheap Hauler 6x6 W900
I purchased two Bruder low loader's from their website. You can't go wrong, $22 ea and free shipping.
I left one stock length. I bought a Huina toys electric excavator, mainly for a realistic haul but it does actually work kinda decent. I added Exclusive RC 3D printed side tool boxes up on the front deck and i used styrene and bits and pieces to make up a Diesel fuel tank in the front.
A couple mock up pics before i weathered the whole assembly.
A couple pics with 1/16th scale metal tractors just for show.
I wasn't happy with the nylon straps i made. It just so happened a gentleman on one of the FB groups came up with working 3D printed chain binders. I purchased the first run of them, 10 sets to be exact. LOL
These work just like the real thing. And actually tighten up very well. Again, i weathered them and the steel chain i got from Hobby Lobby to give them that well used look.
And here's the entire load all weathered and ready for work.
