What's on the Bench? 2021

[minitnkr]

A beauty Rick, the second of the pair did not have rear suspension, axles, gas tank or spare tire rack & tires. I can cobble everything eventually, but am concentrating on the one w/all its' parts now.

Paul, at least you have a pattern you can copy to make the second rack. Looking forward to see how it turns out. Rick H.

This is on my Bench tonight. I have to give that Braille Scale a break for now my hands and eyes has had enough so I’m going to my favorite Scale in Millitary 1/48. This was a old Monogram Snap Kit back in 1978. I’ve had it for a long time and wanted to make the trailer into a Millitary Cargo Trailer with stakes. The Stakes are Plastic that I robbed from a 1/50 flat bed truck.

Thanks Rick I’m almost halfway finished with this I’ll post updates later

[Lee Drennen]

Here’s what I’ve got done this Morning. I added some Styrene to the front and back of the Trailer. Added some PE including tie downs. Made a working Jack and added a some “D” rings made out of wire. I also made a new Front hitch and added a Tail Light. Hope to have this off the bench soon.

Lovely work Lee. Coming along real well

All good Lee :thumb2: Rick H.

[Lee Drennen]

Steve. Thanks for the complement this was more fun than I thought.

Rick. Glad you approve.

[Lee Drennen]

Ok I have to paint the tail light and I just ordered some Stowage for it from Value Gear. When it gets here I’ll add it to the trailer and post it in the Completed section. Thanks for all the likes and complements.

Currently correcting part of someones commission build 1/700 USS Knox. The side quarterdeck cheeks are supposed to be flush with the hull.

Those are looking good Paul. I found a chassis for the old Roco Lacrosse Missle carrier/launcher and noticed the shorter wheel base, wonder if it's the same as your short WB 352's?....might have a go at "cobbling" one together. (edit) Actually the chassis is for the Roco 2 1/2 ton tandem axle tractor M48 that came with the van, Tank, or stake bed semi trailers. Sorry for the confusion. Rick H.

Cheeks all flushed up, masts straightened now looking for a skip and lifeboat for the empty davits. Not forgetting the SH-2 Seasprite.
