Tractorman810 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 looks good mate, what about dropping the height /chassis to a silght angle as those newray trailers always look very high with the side skirts ect on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 You just stick to the farm buildings! That's very nice mate and if you don't mind me saying, simple to do. Was it? What did you use for clasps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 the curtains dont open murray \ ,its early stages but the side skirts will be coming of and side gaurds built at some stage new back doors and some decals added , i took the angle grinder to it tris and cut a slot up the sides to allow the tape to form an indent like what happens when you pull the clasps down as for the clasps there were this stuff i just cut it down to suit looks ok here but in the pics not to good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Ah I can se it, seen it before I think but in no way connected to 1/32 modelling. Nothing is safe with you is it?!! Always find a use for something mate, that's the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've often wondered about doing a curtainsider, would like to do one as a rigid 6 wheeler in CWF colours for feed delivery.... would you be so kind as to show a few step by steps and meterial suggestions for those of us not as ingenious as you....?

sparrow legs Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 top marks, to be fair i didnt like the first pics but now seen the painted tractor unit on it it looks spot on, the decals really finish it off. (did you paint a white fh?) hope not, there worth a fair bit, i painted a red one blue as the white cost more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
