Deere-est Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Trailer looks blood smart, Cerin. really.nicely finished. Have you used scaled 22.5" wheels on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massey Boy Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Trailer looks blood smart, Cerin. really.nicely finished. Have you used scaled 22.5" wheels on it? Thanks Tris! Well i never measured the real ones so wasnt sure what size they were i just found some that were pretty close compaired to the Mans wheels, there 26.5/27mm and have 10 studs like the real ones and look pretty spot on if that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 The only thing is, strictly speaking, they are too big for a 'proper' stepframe. They are normally shod on smaller wheels and tyres to give a lower ride height. I'm not saying you wouldn't see any on 22.5 wheels because you do. Howards one was (it was a pain!) but it's. Probably why the ramps look steep and the step in the bed isn't all that big. However... It doesn't detract from your work. It looks as I said, bloody smart!

Yeah i think they are slightly on the large side but the best i could find in 1/32, would be top job if you could get 1/32 air suspension to lower the rear aswell One of the lorry drivers at work does say that it would be better if the real one was on smaller wheels, but i couldnt tell you what size they were anyway haha!

Stabliofarmer Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Loving the truck Cerin, don't think the wheels are a major problem. After all I bet she can still fit under any real bridge even with an Xerion on the back. On mine is a little Mini Truck to have a tipper back put on for use in my wood yard making deliveries 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
