    Default Toys for Big Boys - moving the grain

    Some of you may have seen my previous post (Toys for Big Boys - hauling the cattle), Well this time the trailer is a grain trailer.

    First, an overall picture:

    Grain 1 - small.jpg

    Next, a side view showing the hoppers:

    Grain 4 - small.jpg

    Next, a rear view showing the ladder and the crank for the roll up canvas

    Grain 2 - small.jpg

    On a real trailer, the top is a canvas that rolls open to load the grain, but on my model, I made the top from walnut and it pivots to open to see the inside.

    Grain 9 - small.jpg Grain 8 - small.jpg

    Now, a few photos showing both semis together:

    Semi 1 - small.jpgSemi 2 - small.jpgSemi 3 - small.jpg

    As always, any comments, both pro and con are welcome.

    Really great i especially like the wheels and the way you curved the top to look like a tarp.
    Also liked all the little details like the door opener and the ladder and tarp closing bar.

    Default Moving the Grain

    The Dodge City Kid strike's again,
    Mate, exceptionally well done.
    It is a fine example of trucking woodwork.
