Since New-Ray just came out with the Volvo VN-780 I was able to complete the model of my designed trucking company.



The matching cab was all I needed. They did a good job on the 780 Volvo, looks sharp. I basicly added my logos to it's doors and roof, and a step warning sign. I also made it RC so it's a bit higher off the ground due to the chassis. I'd like to see this truck on the road someday. :)

   I was up all night building this thing and it came out better than any of my other trailer ideas. I was introduced to a new product I could use in place of super glue; and it's even stronger. It's call 'Sticky Putty'. This came out as a very neat homemade addition; the looks of intermodal right from the ship channel.

   The crates are just made of cardboard, so they aren't that great of a sight. The ISO tanks 'AFC Industries LLC' and 'Universal Compression' are made of cans; they were just the right scale. :p

   Some shots of it loaded with the crates. It works with single or double load.

A covered wagon trailer I made using the basic flatdeck. The only thing I need to do sometime is paint the trailer chassis another color. I'm thinking silver, and paint the wheels red to replace the green.

The trailer needs a name too. Though I'm trying to decide if I should write it on the rack or the tarp.

Today I went to Toys "R" Us and bought the plain white Freightliner Classic XL. I desided to paint parts of it using red; like I did with the other Classic using green. I also for the first time painted the chassie to match. This one is R/C as well.
