discussion Boom Haul

[tiking]

Hi all. Another truck built fellas. I just completed the trailer to the 142H tractor unit I had built for the Steel Haul that I was supposed to use but did not. The boom is from a childs RC toy digger I bought at a cheap store. I had planned on using it as a load for my heavy hauler rig, but the amount of work I had to do on it to get it looking right, would have taken me ages. So I opted to salvage what I could and use the parts for something useful. So now I had a use for the boom. View attachment 250989

I added hydraulics using soldering iron wiring and styrene tubing. I wanted it to look alive. The trailer is the Italeri curtain trailer kit. I only used the chassi and bottom half of it. I then scratch built the extra floor and added tie-downs.

So now this tractor has a trailer, I think, goes together pretty well. Hope you like the results.

Absolutely amazing! When I got to the picture showing the nuts holding the pallet packing, it was a real double take moment. This is probably the most realistic modelling I have ever had the pleasure to view. Many thanks for sharing Charles.
