Almost got finished with the suspension :D. Had one wrong part that didn't work but the new one is on the way :D

[Espeefan]

I really like the design of this trailer, but I wish the rear suspension and airbags looked a little better. Can't complain to much though. All that aluminum is awesome!

Ive seen the trailer in person and once the bags are tightened it all looks good.This trailer is on my A list if I dont build one .

[dabears]

The trailer is top notch I as well saw one at Indy when he first designed it and again in april at Ric's place. very well put together! Cant wait to see it done, hopefully your spare part comes fast!!

[JeanPierreBussio]

Your own design or bought a build kit? Looks great and would like one for my MAN.

Sweet lowboy Smiley, how exactly does the neck work on this trailer? Do you have any close up picks of the neck? Can't wait to see more and hear your review of this trailer.

[Smiley]

Wish Ric did those in Wedico size.

I'm sure he would if the price is right :D lol

Thanks, Kent

Keith

[Espeefan]

The trailer is very nice! The rims you have on there just set it off all the more. It's a sharp looking set-up. I thought at one time Ric did offer these in Wedico scale, or maybe that was just me thinking he did because the original pictures of the trailer were released with it hooked to a Wedico truck. I think my favorite part of the trailer is the neck and deck.

Also looking forward to seeing that Globeliner all put together, with that front bumper and the grille.

Got the front end and shocks done :D. And before anybody says anything. Pink gives it character :D:lol:. Gona try and start on the transmission today :D

[Supermario]

Lol ! .... Ok Keith, if you want pink shocks that's fine :D.

I'm really liking this globe build too. Russ's grille looks great and no styrene work required to install eh?
I still haven't figured out what to do with my globe yet so I'm anxious to see how this baby turns out.:bounce::D

Mario

[Claus]

Wow, I didn't think anybody was using so many Tamiya parts in their builds anymore.

[HOMER.07]

Nice progress on your Globeliner build Keith.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get those stands from?

Gary

[RodneyO]

Nice build so far Keith.Looking nice.Rc4wd has those stands Homer.07.They come in handy on builds like these.

[HOMER.07]

Thanks very much for that info RodneyO.

I am in the process of 2 builds at present.

Freightliner Coronado done in Pearl Black with Metallic Red flecks.

MAN TGX 26.540 done in Metallic Red.

I have been taking photos as I go.

I have only posted on the Hobbyking site some of my Freightliner build.

Both of the truck bodies are off getting a professional paint job.

Will create thread once I get the bodies back.

Gary

[RodneyO]

No problem homer.07.Glad I can help.Make sure to post some pictures of your builds.We look forward to seeing them.

[Claus]

Did you get some color on your trailer yet? Can't wait to see it.

[RodneyO]

Keith I like the bumper.Who makes it?

[Smiley]

Lol ! .... Ok Keith, if you want pink shocks that's fine :D.

Thanks Mario :D. Its easy to install. Just drill some holes to mount it.

[Smiley]

Wow, I didn't think anybody was using so many Tamiya parts in their builds anymore.

Well this is my first truck that I'm building so I'm just learning :D. And no I haven't got any paint on the trailer yet. I've got a few other things that im doing before that :D

[Smiley]

Nice progress on your Globeliner build Keith.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get those stands from?

Messing around with fenders

[PaulNZ]

Personally, the full polished ones will suit the big grill and bumper at the other end.

nice work so far, love the old school look

[Espeefan]

Nice and long! Truck looks great just as it is sitting, even in a mocked up state.

[dabears]

I think it looks good with the full fenders in the last solo pic. I really like those 2 chrome fenders the full and the halfs..... ;)

[bigmudbronco]

Awesome!

[Kaf343]

Either way this is going to be a sweet ride Keith, I like the plastic full fenders. Can't wait for more updates.

It's almost as long as the trailer :eek::D:lol:.

Yeah it does but it's not the same one lol. That's our temporary dining room table lol. We were in the process of replacing part of the subfloor and dad had to go and have a quadruple bypass and.we haven't finished it yet lol

[TRUCKMAKER]

Hope your dads doing ok!

I got a truck and trailer on the bench now that the truck is as long as the trailer!

He's doing good :D

Is it the little short one lol

[TRUCKMAKER]

Yep that's the one, the tractor chassis is way too long, by scale the rear suspension center line would be about at the centerline of the front drive axle. If the cab turns out I'll make a new chassis for it.
