Another one of Izzy's
 

Hi All,


I've only ever seen pictures of these as they don't tend to be used in Europe - this means that I've only been able to use pictures and the internet for reference, so there is a good chance I've got some of the details wrong.

I got the kit from Izzy earlier this year and have to say thathe is a great guy to deal with and the quality of the kit is first class.


I've added some lengths of plastic to make it look a little different and made a simple 'push block' for the rear.

Still a long way to go - I need to source a few more parts and then give it some heavy weathering to match my KH.


Would appreciate any coment or suggestions you have:

Adrian,

P.S - not sure why there is a framed picture of a cat on my desk!

I think you have a nice trailer. The details are great. Grab handles on the slope, extension boards, bracing. I like it. I'd say you nailed the look. I can't find anything wrong with it!

That combo (truck and trailer) look like they were made for one another Adrian....very nice work on the additional details added!

Hadn't seen anything from ya in a while so figured you had something up your sleeve!:D

Looking forward to more updates once more weathering is added!

WOW - thats looking great! I like the header board best of all. I proud to say that I had a little to do with your first rate trailer.......

Re: Another one of Izzy's
 

that looks real good! i agree with the header board comment! you got a little dirt on the rearend though! hahahah

Re: Another one of Izzy's
 

This is a great combo, love the weathered look. Looks like a really hard working combo.

Re: Another one of Izzy's
 

I think it turned out great and some more weathering it will look like all the 1:1 I see running around here. :)

Re: Another one of Izzy's
 

Thanks for the kind encouragement guys - pleased its heading in the right direction!

Interestingly in the UK we call the header boards 'Greedy boards' presumably because they allow you to squeeze a bit more payload in...


Hi Alex, its good to be back. I became a dad for the first time earlier this year so had my hand full with other things! I'll hopefully make some better progress now, and I've got a little guy to help me:)

Cheers,

Adrian

Well congrats on the new little one buddy...that's awesome! Every time I pop open the hood on one of our trucks that has an ISX I think to myself...."I wonder what Adrian's been up to?".....well now I know...haha.

Keep up the good work!

That will be a sweet combo when finished. Although I'm usually in to the largecar show truck thing, it's nice to mix it up with a real world dirt truck and I think you nailed it. Kinda brings me back to My belly dumping days. Looks like the only thing it's missing is the paint scrapes on the stinger from the dozer pushing it through the soft spots.:D Great job;)

Re: Another one of Izzy's
 

Love the look of the combo, when the weathering is done it will be perfect! And my wife loves your cat!
