S. Peters Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 When I was at Henry Selten last week for some stuff to pick up, there is of course the necessary discussed about model construction .... we then came on the subject low loader and his new building kit to the Dangreville lowloader.Henry has a large version with 2 x 3 axles and the long Dangreville overhang on it! I would of course something else and in this case not bigger but rather a bit smaller. I was immediately thinking of the smaller but more frequent seen 2 x 2 asser!This is not as difficult.. matter of sawing an axle off it. Now I wanted to also get rid of the long overhang and that is just more difficult. So i saw the back and off and maked a small overhang. The necessary seams are made invisible and many details have been added .... the wooden floorboards are replaced for tear sheet metal parts and a checker plate tool chest which can open and equipped with boxes is added! Furthermore, the model with the necessary traces of use and weathering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Another lovely model Sjonnie! Looks good with the Valtra up front as well. Can you please not say 'this is not difficult'! Makes me feel even more inadequate at modelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valley Axe Man Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Another fine build Sjonnie, even the contents of the toolbox look like they've seen a bit of work Well done and looking forward to seeing your next fantastic build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Peters Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 Thanks Paul... Jordan; With not difficult i mean it was not difficult to make a tandem rear from the tripple axled basic model. That's not the hard part of this build. You just have to saw the back axle together with the piece of platform of it. The hard part was to make the back and realistic. The Dangreville that was used is a bit long! Every model that i make has is difficulty...i still is handwork! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
