JC Posted May 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 I'm going to make a silage body for it, A grain bin and I've started converting a Joskin tanker to go on it. I've seen a few of these on Farmphoto etc, but never one made with the body in two main parts like the real thing, its based on a siku chassis and the measurements were taken from a truck we had on hire the other week. I've had to alter it a bit to make it work with the chassis I have used and it is missing the skip side locks that you would find on the real thing as they would be too fiddly to make in 1/32nd scale. I'll probably make some more but they will be limited numbers due to the amount of time it takes to make one, so far the mechanism? is made up of seventy odd individual parts which have had to be marked out, cut, filed, drilled etc, and it's not finished yet. Glad you like it.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Years ago I had a 1:35 model kit truck with a DROPS system, a pain to make, but everything moved. I think that would work quite well, it was 1:35, but it was a BIG truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
