Boom Haul - Pic heavy!!!

Ok fellas. I just completed the trailer to the 142H tractor unit I had built for the Steel Haul that I was supposed to use but did not. The boom is from a toy digger I bought at a cheap store. I had planned on using it as a load for my heavy hauler rig, but the amount of work I had to do on it to get it looking right, would have taken me ages. So I opted to salvage what I could and use the parts for something useful. So now I had a use for the boom. I added hydraulics using soldering iron wiring and styrene tubing. I wanted it to look alive. The trailer is the Italeri curtain trailer kit. I only used the chassi and bottom half of it. I then scratch built the extra floor and added tie-downs.

So now this tractor has a trailer, I think, goes together pretty well. Hope you like the results. Thanks for looking. Lots of detail pics:

Exceptional work. The weather on the articulated arm is perfect.

If you're this good, you could have given it a fresh coat of paint before you photographed it!!!

Your eye for detail and weathering is impeccable. Subtle and not so subtle in just the right spots that everything just looks so perfectly right. Outstanding!
