I'm building a Prime Mover using a C3 E-One Titan, and a lot of plastic. Tractor cab is a shortened ARFF, on a scratchbuilt frame. Lowboy trailer was built from plastic sheet and brass stock, with wheels/tires from another ARFF. At this point, both units have been painted Krylon Kiwi for USDA, and diamondplate upper surface attached.
Truck is modeled after FAUN and HEMTT military type heavy duty all terrain haulers.
Chuck, I wish I had a fraction of the imagination that you have when it comes to these kitbash/scratchbuilds. I have enjoyed your work since the old Code 3 board days when you'd post pics of your single axle Oshkosh crash trucks. Please keep them coming.
SKILL? IMAGINATION? WHATEVER? Try I'm on Medications and I was attempting to construct an Aurora model of the Wolfman.
Anyways, I have the lowboy trailer about 95% complete. Need to add a bunch of little details and decals to finish off this part of the build. The size accomidates some of my larger concoctions. Thanks for the kind comments, my pusher (Dr. Rosen) will appreciate it.
Finally finished the tractor and lowboy. I added a roof ladder, toolbox, crane for large tires, and decals. To the lowboy, I added hydraulic/electrical connection to the neck, and a couple of warning beacons to the rear.
