Tamiya Globe Liner 6x6 & Flatbed Trailer Build

[markturbo]

Next up was the trailer build, Tamiya Flatbed. As a first time builder of one of these I was surprised by the all the parts in the trailer kit.



Finished build out in the snow, alloy wheels on the trailer.







I knew when I got the trailer that I'd be making it longer for a more scale look. Mounting up suspension to new trailer frame, I like my axles all the way to the back.





The stretch





Building new deck using aluminium and Tamiya wood deck planks



I also polished all the aluminium



Stickers added for some detail and a coat of varnish on the planks







The polished aluminium really pops in the sun

As happy as I was with the flatbed trailer build I really wanted a low boy so I got the RC4WD lowboy designed by SemiJoe. This is the trailer I wanted from the beginning but I could not justify the price at the time. But Tower Hobbies started selling these so I was able to use member discounts and Easy Pay to ease the pain lol...but I'll probably still end up selling the flatbed.









And with a load on, CAT Dozer (Bruder, Non RC, for now)









And just for fun, not to scale, SMT10.
