Today I received some vinyl graphics I had made by RC TRUCK GRAPHICS. They are on Facebook, and Andrew did an excellent job. The quality is second to none, the colors are crisp, and he can do just about anything you can come up with. When I get my two tank trailers, I know these will really look the part.







Thanks for looking, Big John.

Well I got busy today and built the transmission and added my new drive shaft. This thing is very beefy.



















I am going to paint the transmission either caterpillar yellow, or detroit blue/green.

Thanks for looking, Big John.

Thanks brother! I don't know how much more I can do until I get more parts. I placed an order with Shapeways yesterday for an aerodyne roof for the sleeper. And on Ebay I bought Grand Hauler frame rails, and cross members for the converter dolly. Waiting is the hardest part...

I really like the sunoco graphics, those look sharp.

The trucks coming together nicely.

Thanks bro! I wanted something a little different than what is on the market.

My step father owned & operated a few Sunoco service/fuel stations back in the 70's... I even worked there after school.

Very partial to that brand and logo so it will be interesting to see this come to life.

That's pretty cool! I like fuel tankers, and I figured why not do a sunoco theme in 1/14 scale. I have a friend who's dad drove for texaco, but you can buy those vinyl decals all day long.

Does that tierod have any adjustment? I guess if the axle pieces are machined right, a fixed-length tierod should be OK?

For the turnsignal, try looking in the beads and steampunk jewelry at a craft store? There are those tiny pellets for making a fake stained-glass ornament that are pretty small, too.

Also - can you get me measurements on those landing legs, both retracted and extended?

The tierod is a direct fit, no adjustment at all. Thanks for the tip about the beads, and the legs are the same as the stock ones. If you need the actual lengths, just let me know.

I have been doing some body work the last couple of days. I have to put another thin coat of filler in a few spots, the it will be ready for primer to see all of the imperfections. On a lighter note, I got an email from Shapeways telling me my aerodyne roof is on it's way. Here is what I've done so far.















I will drill new holes to relocate the roof lamps. Thanks for looking, Big John.

Yes, if you could get me actual measurements that would be great. I bought a set of generic ones off ebay, and they seem too big, or my homemade trailer is too short. I'm just needing a good reference point without buying Tamiya legs, in which case I should just buy a whole trailer -- and then the snowball begins...

Tried to reply, but system says you can't receive private messages. There's a little clickbox you need to hit in your profile settings.
