That frameless trailer just plain rocks, is that the new 5 stage cylinder or the 4 stage cylinder? I am going to pick my 5 stage cylinder up from Ed down at his show in a little over a week. You have everything so cleanly plumbed looks great.

Really like the new look. The electrical lines for the trailer are looking good. I think you could just about stand that trailer up on the rear bumper

Got some pieces polished up today, hopefully I can get the rear bumper wired and the grill installed soon. I am going to have to do some machining on the front bumper for it to sit flush with the front fenders. Will have some more updates soon

This is a great build. I really like the transformation. The dump trailer is very nice, but that's not to take away anything from the truck. Both pieces are fine examples of modeling. Thanks for sharing the photos and updates!

Sorry Mario, I'm pretty sure I have only spent $9 on this since posting that. And the 9 dollars was spent on some resistors for the lights

I have always wondered what the truck was for, I never thought it would haul around a helicopter Do you know where I could find some pictures? I have looked endlessly but haven't found anything


Thanks everybody for the comments!!

That would be really cool, I would really appreciate it!


Finished up the rear bumper today and got a few pictures and a video. The rear bumper has a total of 20 LED's in it.

Here is the video to the video showing the lights.
