Hessel Hemstra Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Here in Holland we have founded a small group of modelers who want to promote the truck modeling as much as possible. We are only with five people but are working on a lot of things. Some of you might know the Fotki site with all kinds of info about model trucks and other stuff. Lately we have some other projects involving CNC milling. A friend of mine has drawn a container chassis for a 20ft container which we have milled in a number of about 20 kits. Personally I have drawn a step-deck trailer. On the internet I found a drawing of a Doonan trailer which helped me with the drawing. I made it to carry my Ertl Drag trucks. As a front truck there is a Pete 386, a resin conversion by Tim Ahlborn. enjoy Hessel

Kostas Parchas Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Hessel hi, I like very much, both your Peterbilt 386 & trailer. Is the trailer 48ft or 53ft long? Are you selling this trailer as a kit? I am interested to purchase one kit of your step deck trailer, it looks fantastic!!! Greetings, Kostas.
Hessel Hemstra Posted June 27, 2011 Author Posted June 27, 2011 This trailer is build as a one-of but maybe I can cut a little more. I will have to think about that. To be honest, the trailer is build around wheels from a Imai kit (scale 1:28) the tires are therefor a little wide. Tires from AMT (the old, small ones) would do. I have drawn some new stuff as well. One of them is a cheetah heavy goods trailer. They still have to be milled. I do not have a machine of my own and also the poly-styreen has to be bought. I will try to keep you up with the possibilities. Hessel
69A-CAR Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Hessel, Very nice rigs! I like your trailer designs a lot, that gives a nice modern look to that newer style Pete. Mark
Chad Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Those are beautiful pieces there! I would buy one of those trailers as well if you decided to sell one! Chad

gwaltz1 Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 Hessel, Nice combination of trucks. Tim Tim I really enjoy your model truck photography. I've been fooled into believing some were 1:1!
