Stabliofarmer Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 A close friend works for KTwo and has nagged and nagged to produce a trailer of theirs, so I've been tinkering with one of their Ejector trailers as seen in the what's on your workbench topic. Built up as a laser cut kit the process started on Solid Works CAD software, from that a series of 2D dxf files are created and these are fed into my laser cutter. The parts are sanded down and assembled into the finished model. A start to the CAD file getting the shapes and functions right. After some discussion with the friend the refinements where made giving the above CAD. Which becomes the above real model. Building up the detail Ejector floor and headboard working as per the real vehicle. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Stabliofarmer Posted September 20, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2021 More details going on, I'm building one as per the instruction manual and two extra, one for myself and one for the friend, both of which will contain extra detail that simply isn't economical to provide as part of the kit. Primer on all the parts. And top coat of paint. Final outcome of the instruction manual build, less decals as I'm waiting on paper. Please get in touch if you're interested in a kit. Thanks for looking, will update with the high detail models when they're finished. 15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stabliofarmer Posted September 25, 2021 Author Share Posted September 25, 2021 I would have to agree, they're highly specable too. Can put them on air suspension and all sorts, the ultra wide American trailers their building and exporting are very impressive. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 Adding some additional detailing to some KTwo's for my own collection. Working hydraulic line guide that follows the headboard cylinders down the body. Also some additional plates etc around the drawbar. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Added the working scissor system for the ejector hydraulics, working roll over cover and lots of hydraulic hoses 16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
