A little testrun

Aha... it was those you used! I was wondering what piece it was!

Yes as you say Ingmar, the ones i have ordered doesnt need any support so I think that it will be easily under 2 kg's!

Edited June 25, 201410 yr by Lundgren

Well, not bad, not to bad at all!!! :thumbup: If you manage to keep it easily under 2kg there is much hope for this trailer! Very nice that you gave it a try, that is a good thing!!!

One thing you might want to consider is to get both axles closer to one another. This way even more friction can be avoided, but again: it is up to you of course...

I just noticed it checking your video the second time. The roof is growing, nice!!!

Yes I have thought about a way to get the axles closer together.

Think I'll give it a try tomorrow!

And yep I'm testing how to get the roof as stable as possible to the lowest weight!

Nice touche to have the striping of the truck back in the color scheme of the trailer, you did a nice job on that one!!!

Do you intend to have the roof "stud less"? If so I would try to leave the plates under it and go for large tiles to go from left to right. This way you can save a lot of weight... well at least I hope so

Good luck with getting the axles closer...

Hehe ill defenetively let you know if I make it! ;)

Yes the stripening will be on the trailer as well.

The roof will consist of about 200 1x8 tiles when it's done and the plates is just for now, won't be there later!

I see, that make sense!!!

Got the roof tiles yesterday, now I'm only waiting for the panels.

Then I can finish it!

One down, one to go Nice and good luck building!

It'll be something like this!

Light and very stable!

Well it really is getting somewhere, that is for sure!!! By the way, you need a longer bookshelf where it can sit on, the rear axle "falls" off...

It will be very nice to have this combination in your house somewhere. Maybe even in the living, if the rest of the family agrees with it...

Why did you change to 2 x 4 tiles a couple of time? This asks for the extra 2 x 6 LBG plates. By leaving the 2 x 4 tiles you can skip these plates. Just a thought...

Hehe actually these were the only tiles I have so thats the simple answear

Have already ordered the missing 1x8 ones

Yes it would indeed be very nice to have them visible in my living room... unfortunately my wife doesn't really understand the beauty of your work

But when they are all done and my mechanical workshop is done I will build some glassmonters for them so i can display them in my office without dust!

Guess what's my next project!

Too bad, but I can understand. We all have our own interests, so it is okay...I guess... You have your office at home or do you want to take these to the companies building?

Thanks for the kind words and just take your time. If Lundgren is right you have to build yourself another one... :laugh:

Well you are close I would say. The striping is awesome, you really did a great job on that as well!!! Those panels are nice and will save you a lot of weight...and building time as well BTW...

Once more: thanks for sharing these pictures with us, it is so nice to see the progress!

No the thanks goes to you! Now I'm able to build the things I've only dreamt about!

I'm building a metal workshop right here were my home is (2 story building with the office on the second floor)

Yep those panels saves me both job and weight! and the roof became really light and strong!

Will be interesting to weigh it with motors and batterybox!

BTW the whole thing is now 10 studs longer! Humongous!

And BTW 2... guess my next project... as I said... drugs...

Well, thanks!!! Great to see that I can help you to make your dreams come true, that is what it is all about.

Even 10 studs longer, wow!!! It is strong, you did a good job. It looks nice and will work well :thumbup:

Yeah I can tell what the next project will be. Do you already have plans for a trailer to go with it? There might be a very nice solution... I am working on my next project: a log trailer. Similar to this one but again much improved:

Lundgren, you really should stop now, otherwise Bricklink will become empty

But, your trailer looks quite nice. The only thing I don't like is the fact that there are a few studs left on the front of the trailer, but it's difficult to get that shape without those curved pieces.

Any chance you could make a picture with all the models you have build until now? I'm curious to see them all together

@Lundgren........That trailer looks great, good that you gave it some more length, it was too short before. ( although you could have made "doubles", with some more wheels and frame parts )

@Ingmar..............I'm sooo happy to see you're going to produce the 'Log Trailer', with your fantastic BI & parts list. :thumbup: I can see this trailer hooked up to my 'Desert Angel' truck.

Also I've begun to gather parts for this trailer, now that my Lego work area is dry!

Thanks legolintje, haha no I don't have so much money!

Give me some weeks and I will fix some pics of my complete "Model Team MOC" collection.

Right now I'm gathering parts for Dikkie Klijn's Tow Truck XL and Jennifer Clarks Demag crane and building my own first moc in this scale.

So that is what to come.

@Lundgren........That trailer looks great, good that you gave it some more length, it was too short before. ( although you could have made "doubles", with some more wheels and frame parts )

Yes i also thought it was a little too short but now it's perfect. (a little big the store though...) :laugh:

This trailer is already available in colors to match "US Truck T1 MkII". In order to give others the change to combine different trucks with different trailers this same build is now also available in colors to match "US Truck T2 MkII". So now you can combine your own build of "US Truck T2 MkII" with either a drop deck or spread axle flatbed trailer, it really is up to you which one to build.

Cheers, Ingmar Spijkhoven
