Short dumper box?

Thanks for the Bruder idea Farmer. Gonna give the small tipper that originally goes with the Mack cab. That and an actuator and I should be in business with some fitting.

That'll work too, I like that blue box they came out with but I'm not sure how it'll look on a Tamiya chassis, besides I like to make my own stuff.

Yea, if the bruder doesn't work out I'm take your suggestion on the plywood and bass wood route. Never thought thick CA would hold up to impacts like a box may encounter, thanks for the tip.

If you put a good bead of CA between the 2 pieces then come back and put a fillet with thick CA on the seams and hit it with kicker, its just like a weld joint on steel. If done right you'll rip the wood apart before the joint. I also CA a piece of aluminum channel on the top edge of the box sides so if the guys hit it with an excavator bucket or loader it wont chip the wood.

Yeah I like Bruder's stuff the detail and quality for the price is good. Picked a couple of their trucks over the years for my niece, she seems to enjoy them very much and none have broken so far.
