BobBongo1895 Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) Hey ho together, After pimping my new 8258 to RC and improvements by Han, I decided that there is something missing. A real flatbed trailer. I will post details in the afternoon, after minor design changes. Here is the appetizer for you. :-) Edit: Thanks to efferman, I changed the title of the pic. ;-) Edited January 29, 2012 by BobBongo1895 Quote
efferman Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 behind "Flatbed Trailer" i have expected something different. Your type of trailer i would describe as a Gooseneck lowloader. does it have a detachable gooseneck? Quote

olaf9198 Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 looks cool i realy like it it looks on Han's low loader (mayby a diverent load ) Quote
BobBongo1895 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Posted January 29, 2012 Some details..... @Olaf, you are right, it is inspired by the Han lowloader. Thats´s it, hope you like it. regards Klaus Quote
timslegos Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Looks cool! I cant wait to see the full release. tim Quote
sama Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) @BobBongo1895, those are some next-level photos you got there. They look realer than real life. Anyways, the trailer is awesome. It looks so "complete" and "finished." But those dually 56x26 Balloon tires in the rear of the trailer look a little "un-real," I would prefer dually 62.4x20 wheels in the rear. Still love it the trailer. Edited January 30, 2012 by sama Quote
BobBongo1895 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Posted January 30, 2012 Hey Sama, you are right. I have to change the wheels. Quote
Rodeown Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 I am really impressed with that build, the little touches like the chains and the ladder at the rear make for a more complete model, that is awesome. The little things do matter on a model dont they. Quote
Traktor Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 It looks really good, but i think a trailer/lowloader they long should at least have three axels. Quote
cemus Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 also, make the deck 3 beams high and support it with 3x5 90 degree beams. this is essential for rigidity with heavy haulage. Quote
