That trailer is neat, I sure would like to know how you made the goose neck work.

Mike - I've helped a ged number o fbuilders gather their thoughts on their articulation - pointers and suggestions - post a thread and I'll keep an eye out for ya - if you already have one throme a bump and I'll take a look.

Also - please know that I had serveral weeks of late night pondering and a couple of attempts to get this one right. She works well but is tempermental about being flat when splitting .... not so much when re-attaching

There are plenty of methods to accomplish this - but I think I am the only one who can
- raise, lower, split, support while split & un-hook
...... all with one channel .......

Izzy, nice job on your builds. The IH I've seen before, but I don't remember seeing a lot of your lowboy, in detail. I enjoyed the videos. Thanks for sharing them.

Chris , I'm not much for cab overs , but this 1 certainately warms my hart . I would say perfect right down to the scratches in the bumper . It amazed me the patients you had to mod that cab :eek: I did enough cutting and piecing together real one's I don't think I could stand to do it on a model .

MAN I LOVE YOUR IH AND DETACH LOOKS REAL NICE:cool:

[pugs]

That lowboy is amazing, very nice work.

[9W Monighan]

On the headache rack. How big are those chains and how strong are they? Are they welded? Can I see a comparison photo next to a rule?

[Dreamweaver]

I drove one of these, a '82. This thing is dead on... Great job.

[td9clyde]

All thanks for the terrific comments - she's taken a lot of wrenching and she still ain't done ....

9W Monigan - I'm not good at photos - maybe later I can get some in natural light - rather than a flashlight .... LOL ....

[muskater]

very nice

[Dreamweaver]

Izzy, would you mind sharing where you got the Binders?

-Mike

[Izzy]

Binders and hooks came from Ric at Garden Trucking
The chain is standard Tamiya - non welded links (Bummer)
The gold hooks are from some chain I picked up at the hobby store

Another good place to check for small chain would be inexpensive jewelry .......

Can you build a quad 1:16 scalelow for a 1:16 scale Wedico pete. :):):):):)

[Izzy]

You should probably check out M&J customs - the trend in the farm toy seen and do a faboulous job on 1:16 equipment. Their suspensions are too simple for my taste but I bet you could easily update that portion. Also they deal pirmarily with non-rc equipment. So if you want to make it RC give me a call - Ive done one already for another member here...

Beautiful equipment, I will build like that one day........
