Default Re: Bruder Truck-Mounted Flatbed

Sorry to report no major progress lately, just a few odds and ends here and there.

Added some crossmembers on the underside to help distribute the load and reduce pressure points on the plastic sheets. Plus some makeshift brackets and a slightly modified King rear crossmember were put together to help hold this girl on the chassis...




Started to work on covering up that mess of a splice I attempted with some misc. styrene sheet and other pieces that were needing a place to rest...



And began playing around with some load ideas both for the fun of it and to see what kind of weight could be put on this thing seeing as it's held together with screws, glue, plastic-weld, and some hopes and dreams...




See you in another month with another update. (let's hope not anyway)

Thanks for looking,
-Alex
