Re: Tremblay Excavation

Great colour choice on the excavator. It's going to look so cool with the decals and attachments!

Re: ScaleART - Assembling a MAN TGX/XL 6x6 tractor & Trailer

Hi Tracy, would be a cool solution, but I now have that heavy duty rear end on the truck. So no room. Also played with the idea of having them inside the frame, but just not enough room.

Thanks...

Re: Capo 1:8 Jeep CD15823

Congrats on the new Tatra! You could put version one on eBay ... Am sure someone will take it of your hands. Had people in EU interested in mine, but postage and insurance was a deal breaker.

Neat...

Re: Capo 1:8 Jeep CD15823

Been thinking of taking the TATRA apart and selling it, but like you, not really looking forward to it. Just not enough time.

Neat job covering the holes. May I ask what material you used for the...

Re: I am interested in getting started in scale RC.

Here is a link to a thread on a German forum of a guy who converts a Bruder cement mixer into a working RC truck using Tamiya. You just need to change the cab from a Scania to your Kenwood.

WOW! Some detail work on those bends! Inspired idea using the magnets to hold the pieces together! Like the muffler's origins too.

Re: ScaleART - Assembling a MAN TGX/XL 6x6 tractor & Trailer

Turned out I needed a bit of metal at least 4mm thick to be able to clear the top cross brace of the frame.

Ended up cutting 3 small pieces of 1.5mm and messed around with them until I got...

Re: ScaleART - Assembling a MAN TGX/XL 6x6 tractor & Trailer

@Cossett - Hi Tracy, that is indeed what I have in mind, will have to check first how thick the stuff has to be. Have some 1.5 mm sheet aluminium around, might have to double it up though.

Re: ScaleART - Assembling a MAN TGX/XL 6x6 tractor & Trailer

Another short update.

Since I will use the rear leaf suspension, I re-installed the heavy hauler rear end again. I wanted to install a coupling too. Not the Rockinger variety but a simple one...

Re: Scaleart - assembling an Arocs 8x8 roll on roll off kipper

Hi Chris, since it is not that complicated to get longer chassis rails at a later date, I will keep going with the MAN as is at the moment. Once we move back to Europe and are closer to ScaleART, I...

As for paint ... why not do rear fender same colour as the chassis rails?
