Flat bed Trailer, Aussie style!!

[Cossett]

That looks bloody good paul the gates and the dimond plate really change the appearance of the trailer for the better, now I can't wait till Mr XXX sends me my trailer so I can re skin the deck.....

Thanks Tracy, appreciate the comments

The Diamond Plate has changed the look quite a bit, just gotta put a few scratches and dents around the place to give it that "used" look!!

Hey Paul

Where did you get that diamond plate from ?

You've nailed the look spot on

[Aussie]

Cheers Mate, Thanks for the comments, Much Appreciated

I was lucky enough to find the Diamond Plate on Evil Bay from a Guy in the states, just between me & you, I think I bought him out of stock, I got 10 sheets

You might find some here http://www.brunelhobbies.com.au/plastruct/plastruct.htm

By the way Daniel you can also get it in 1:16 DOUBLE DIAMOND PLATE SHEETS.....

[Aussie]

Thanks, Mate, Appreciate you comments

There will be an update once I get these gates finished, have done 7, got 3 more to do, 1 gate takes about 3 hours to make, then I got the 5 cross bars...Phew!!!

I will get some pic's up when it's all done

Paul

[rappy]

well done you should be able to make more of them and sell them i think there maybe a few aussies that would buy them again well done love it

[Aussie]

If there's a market for them, I guess I could look at making some, yeah!!

I finally finished all the gates and cross bars,

That is true aussie style!!!
What about a tarp and a hoist at the front?

[Aussie]

Been fiddling around again and found a piece of material for a tarp, needs a few stitches here and there, but, I think it will do the job....

Hi Quad-Dog, is this what you meant

Cheers Tracy

[Quad-Dog]

Paul I was more thinking of one for the inside making it a tipping trailer.

[YoungGunz]

looks great!!!

[Aussie]

Lol!! My apologies, I see what you mean now, I have seen them set up that way with the Hoist, but, the thought never crossed my mind, I could've built it that way, yeah!!! Durrr!!!!

Maybe an idea for a future build...

Thanks youngGunz, appreciate the cool feedback

[Quad-Dog]

Yep, they are pretty rare nowadays. You won't see to many doing the highway work but during harvest you get so see them.

[Aussie]

Caged trailers are rare these days, that's why I gotta build me a "Old School" truck to pull it around, I do have one in mind...



Paul

[Cossett]

Now that is niceeeee old school aussie, will be a fun build with plenty of challengers and headaches

Cheers Tracy

[Aussie]

It definately is Old School, Tracy,

gonna be a lot of fun building it too!!

Gotta KH body here to start off with, gonna have to chop the roofline down a bit and tilt the windscreen back a little, amongst a lot of other detail

Might have to employ our old friend 1800-BB-TIMMY to do the cow killer though...Lol!!

Paul

[Cossett]

Well I was going to say as well only a 1800-BB-TIMMY BB would do for this build but thought I would leave it later in the build once the body work was started LOL

Cheers Tracy
