Mammoet DAF - Trailer and Cargo

The idea 

My son 3d printed this on a rough setting. It needs work 

Smoothing the top 

Part 

Made some braces for the supports 

Added 0,25 mm sheet as the top wasn’t that pretty. Now I need some half round of a decent diameter to create an elephantsfoot 

What is petrochemical equipment without some piping? 

I cut some old gift cards into shape.  

Staples and some rod provide detail 

Here I heated up some styrene rod and pressed it into the head of a screw.  

Zero paints 2k primer 

Tamiya Maroon 

Clearcoated with zero 2k flat 

Building a new bed for the trailer 

Close up. The coffee stirrers need to be cut to length.  

Shaving my life away  

Before 

Halfway 

Added some lightening holes 

Starting the chassis 

The switch is made. The new trailer needs a bit of filling.  

Just what I Needed 

 

 

 

Replacing the wiring/piping with 0.5mm brass rod. It looks a bit thin? 

It looks better with 0.8mm lead? 

Scraping, sanding, marking, in no particular order.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

10 parts, just under three hours 

The result 

The start 

Replaced all kinds of stuff on the underside 

Replaced bendy plastic with nickel rod 

Trying to replace the springs with aluminium tube and nickel rod.
