Re: Liebherr LTM1800 scale 1/24

Your spreader bar turned out awesome, and so did the container. I like how you made a die to stamp out the sides of the container. Thanks for sharing the process!

Re: King hauler Dump Truck

That looks awesome. Nice work on the new dump box! It's quite a bit nicer than your first attempt. Absolutely nothing wrong with giving things a second or third shot, when you don't get the...

Re: 777 HAUL TRUCK (1/12 size)

Are you kidding me? That walkway and railing along side the cab looks awesome! I'd say it's quite scale looking, but then I do not have a 1:1 photo to compare it to. One benefit to using steel for...

Re: 777 HAUL TRUCK (1/12 size)

That's nice! Details always sell the appearance of a model. Are you planning on welding all the super structure components together? I can see some tack welds here and there, and some screws in...

Re: could this be ...............

A fully functional rotator, with outriggers, and lights? Sure, that could be 100% functional, but it will take really deep pockets, or some creative ingenuity. Hydraulics would be an easier, but a...

Re: King hauler Dump Truck

Nice truck, and box. I like the color scheme. Did you lift the cab on this one? Looks to be sitting a little higher than usual. The scissors lift mechanism is nice. Home made, or something...

Re: how to get more angle

Why not try to build a scissor type lift mechanism, driven by the Firgelli? It can increase the range of travel, and increase the mechanical advantage, for the oomph it needs to get the box up and...

Re: 777 HAUL TRUCK (1/12 size)

Wow, you've made some great progress on the 777. I like the detail you've been putting into the truck. The handrails and ladders look really good. The 5 gallon bucket really helps put things into...

Re: christmas present to myself

That's a pretty nice trailer. I didn't even know Russ was planning to make these. How did you end up with one, if they aren't even available yet? Early prototype? :D

Re: carson track loader ?

Steve, I'm not sure about the other hydraulic kits out there, but the Leimbach hydraulic kit comes with a replacement aluminum z-link to make the geometry better.

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed

Very nice! As soon as I saw the pockets in the rear bumper and ICC bar, I figured you were going to add a forklift to it! That's awesome. I agree. This trailer is worthy of being a build of the...

What the heck....where's all the snow? The lights look great though! I've always enjoyed seeing them put up.

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway

Atta boy! Love the lights. I agree, in some cases the old fashion incandescent bulbs work and look better. Plus no resistors needed, if the voltage rating matches your battery pack. The warm...

Re: T880 - Izzy style???

Whew.....you're a lot braver than I am, Izzy! I don't think I would ever attempt to cut up a brand new cab to make something else out of it. So far so good! I can really see the difference with...

Re: 777 HAUL TRUCK (1/12 size)

That is a very interesting photo! In all honesty, your steering set-up looks like a very good facsimile of the 1:1 trucks! Makes me wonder if they have the proper ackerman effect or not? It could...

Re: 777 HAUL TRUCK (1/12 size)

That CAD drawing of the truck turning is exactly what you want. Perfect, in fact! I think the problem is your steering drag links do not travel equally, nor in a parallel / linear fashion, if that...

Re: 777 HAUL TRUCK (1/12 size)

This is such a cool build to watch, and you are making incredible progress! I'm glad you got some larger photos up. I like your drivetrain and that steering system is pretty cool. I hadn't seen...

Re: CORVETTE RACING

Coming along nicely! I do wonder though.....what some single round Peterbilt style headlights would look like on your KW. I've seen a few 1:1 Kenworth trucks running them, and it's different and...

Re: my 1/12th scale model home

That's incredible! I can't even begin to imagine the time invested in just cutting up the 2x4 to make scale lumber. You used just one 2x4 for all of that? I don't think I would have the patience! ...
