Custom build Scania Hauler T580
 

Hi...

I'd like to show you my actual project.

The project bases on a standard kit of a Scania R620

http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/file...qp-gc-e6b4.jpg

But it will be modified to a T580 Hauler. Something like this:

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2876/...e139187e_m.jpg

The modifications will be made by streching the frame and all needed custom parts will be build of styrene.

Let me show you some pictures of the creation until the actual state.

First I assembled the needed standard parts on a longer frame (plus 10.5cm) just to get an overview about the final size.

Now the modification started. The upper part of the grill must be cut of.

The lower part of the cabine must be cut off.

The part I cutted of will not be thrown away, it will be the base of the to be modeled haule.

After that I started to build the splashboard (???)

http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/file...qp-gy-076a.jpg

As next part I started to create the side plates.

But now it's time to see the first glance of a hauler...

Now it was the time to start to build the hood. Main challenge was to get the same curve in the edges as the bumber bar.

To get the same form of the edges for the hood I modified the deflectors

http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/file...qp-h9-9cf8.jpg

http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/file...qp-hb-44c4.jpg

After that they were cut down and glued to the cabine part I cutted off. In addition I added some styrene plates to stabalize the hood and to form the hood sides.

Re: Custom build Scania Hauler T580
 

Next challenge was to build to upper part of the hood.

http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/file...qp-hk-58d4.jpg

http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/file...qp-hq-85fc.jpg

http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/file...qp-hr-3871.jpg

In addition I saw that the side plate was too short. I had to stretch it by 5mm.

http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/file...qp-hs-a733.jpg

Next step was to add the side parts of the hood.

http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/file...qp-hv-4564.jpg

http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/file...qp-hw-185c.jpg

http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/file...qp-hx-42e7.jpg

Now I started the most hated part, sanding, sanding, sanding, sanding....

And that's the state after the first sanding...

A small video (click me softly)...

Re: Custom build Scania Hauler T580
 

After a while I noticed, that the space between cabine and fifth wheel is too large...

Two possible solutions:
- New frame 5cm shorter
- Fill the space with something...

I decided to follow the second solution...

LONGLINER !!!!!!!!

Step two: The roof

http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/file...qp-ix-8757.jpg

This is the state not yet filled or sanded.

Next step was the second side plate

Next step was to fill the gap between the cabine and the side plates.

http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/file...qp-ja-8fec.jpg

While they were drying, I started to make the air gaps in the hood...

The position of the middle parts

Today I started to build two boxes to place the electric parts while the rest is drying after the second filling and sanding job.

Hi,

two additions came to my truck.

1. The fifth wheel got an automatic mechanism to open it.

http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/file...qp-k0-e584.jpg

http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/file...qp-k1-b4a5.jpg

And a small video about the function.

2. The root got a bit of light.

Hi,

let me show you the actual state in a video. It is temporary assembled.

Re: Custom build Scania Hauler T580
 

I'm really liking this scania buddy. You've done a nice job on the body work and looks very clean.

Re: Custom build Scania Hauler T580
 

Hi...

Today I started with the lights for my truck. A time ago I saw a truck having daytime running lights and I decided to have this also in my truck.

First I made the drilled the holes

http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/file...qp-kc-19bc.jpg

After that I formed the fiber optic cables. They are surronded by a heat shrink tube.

http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/file...qp-kd-07c5.jpg

At the end a LED is placed.

And that's it...

Re: Custom build Scania Hauler T580
 

That gotta be the best scratch build T-cab I've seen ;) not to mention the longliner part of it, looking good!

Re: Custom build Scania Hauler T580
 

Amazing build

Re: Custom build Scania Hauler T580
 

Hi...

Longer time ago since my last post, so let me give an overview what happened in the meantime.

The rear light have been extended fro 3 lights to 6 lights per side.

http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/file...qp-kf-8df7.jpg

http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/file...qp-kh-788d.jpg

During the build a colleague showed me his new lowbar. It was amazing, so I decided to build an own lowbar. After searching some brass, I started to build.

After the form was made I decided to add some details and light.

Re: Custom build Scania Hauler T580
 

After some time of building with styrene and brass I'd like to change to the electrics again.

I started to build a new board to give the truck a more realistic behaviour. The main features are:
- Realistic speed up and engine brake behaviour
- Realistic brake behaviour with an emergency brake
- Realistic steer behaviour depending on the speed
- Slow steering if the truck is stopped
- Automatic cruise control feature
- Heavy load - The speed and brake is more slow in the same way as it happens with a heavy load on the trailer
- Gear mode (forward, neutral, backward)
- If gear mode changes, the truck stops automatically in a realistic way
- Providing a brake light and a reversing light
- steering up to 4 steered axle in correct propotional behaviour

http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/file...qp-kt-5751.jpg

After that I went back to the back lights, they got their LEDs.
